identification is rather uncertain, the shell is nearly allied to the specimens of . /. 

 1 could compare, though 1 found no quite identical specimen. As the species scems 

 t,. | variable, I think it is not safe to erecl ;i new species on one >mall specimen.

Thes imens are also of somewhat doubtful identification, they don't quite agree 



with R] • description, a. o. I see no livid purple ridges, the specimens seem to be more 



nodulous; but the shape with the long canal agree; so I have united them as a slight variation. 

 i considers this and the next species, to be forms of A. vespaceus.

 than in the type, but seems to be slightly hroken.

il young specimens, too young for identification, from Stat. 37, 240 and 315, seem 



or at least to nearly allied species; another from Stat. 225 is certainly different, 



r, I ntify it with the upper whorls of any of the species I could compare.
