I have examined a number of specimens of this shell, all of which 

 I refer to this species, and find them vary much in the general and 

 relative proportion of their outline and width of whorls.

This Asiatic species very closely resembles the American just de- 

 scribed, and furnishes another of those instances of affinity, whilst 

 still retaining unquestionable distinctness, which occur so frequently 

 in the shells of the tropics of the two hemispheres ; and thus whilst 

 both are enriched by similar forms, these present themselves under 

 slight but constant differences.
