The specimen from Stat. 4 is very young, those from Stat. 33 are fine and adult, the 

 largest one has a shell of 70 Mill. in length, both are covered on the back of last vvhorl by a 

 fibrous epidermis, resembling that of the former species, but not so thick. Tryon has united 

 the two species and Troschel has found no differences in the radulae. In accordance with the 

 majority of authors, I have kept them separated.

Though none of the specimens contains the soft parts, they seem to have lived at the 

 collecting-grounds, as many of them have at least tracés of a rather thin epidermis.

The specimens from the three last-mentioned localities are very young, the smallest from 

 Stat. 2S2 has only a length of 9'/, Mill. and should nearly be doubtful, but the sculpture, 

 consisting of 3 nearly regular rows of varices, with about 8 curved ribs in the interstices, crossed by 

 regular spirals is characteristic, also small brown spots near the sutures, behind the varices, agree 

 with those of larger specimens, the nucleus is smooth. The specimen from Stat. 96 is quite adult.
