The specimen from Stat. 131, is the only quite typical one, with nearly straight outlines 

 and a sharp keel; the other specimens show some afhnity to the next variety and to T. ver- 

 rucosus Gmel., which, according to Pilsbry belongs to this species. Indeed it is very difficult, if 

 not impossible, to classify every specimen of a rather large series, if one admits many species.

The specimen from Stat. 1 3 1 seems to belong to the form called gibberulus by Adams, 

 it is higher, the altitude being 43 Mill., with a diameter of 37 Mill. Even those from Stat. 225, 

 are higher in proportion to their diameter, like the figure of Kiener, copied by Pilsbry ; in only 

 one specimen, not quite adult, the altitude is surpassed by the diameter.

The specimens agree very well with the figures and description of Fischer in Kiener's 

 Coq. Viv., copied by Pilsbry ; much less with Reeve's figure 77 (Pilsbry, fig. 50) the outlines 

 of the spire in these figures, not being convex. Perhaps these figures represent another 

 allied species.
