54 THE NAUTILUS. 



It has some resemblance to L. catascopium but the columella is 

 quite different and the aperture is differently shaped. Binney's two 

 central figures in Land and F.-W. Shells, fig. 86 accurately picture 

 the species and the original specimens in the Smithsonian (No. 8304) 

 seem to be the same. It has probably been named binneyi or solida 

 in collections but it seems to be a distinct species, related to the 

 binneyi-solida-catascopium group of Lymneeas. Mr. H. O. Hinkley 

 collected the specimens.
