According to Mdrch (J. Conchyl. xiii. p. 395) this species "depose ses oeufs 

 dans rombilic." 



The teeth or lamellae seem to be variable ; some specimens shew traces of a second 

 tooth in the upper portion of the outer lip, thus having nine teeth in all. Considerable 

 variation is also shewn in the relative proportions of height and breadth, and in the 

 width of the umbilicus.

(3) Endodonta laiiiinata Pease. 



Helix laminata Pease, Amer. J. Conch. 11. (1806), p. 292. 



According to the diagnosis this differs from the last by being spirally sculptured 

 as well as transversely ribbed, thereby becoming decussated. The teeth appear to 

 be identical in number and position and I believe it will, eventually, only prove to be a 

 local race. 



Tryon (Man. Conch. Ser. 2, in. p. 70) considered it to be a form of E. cavemula, 

 Hombr. and Jacq., stating " I have before me two trays of shells named Helix 

 laminata Pease, from the 'Sandwich Is.,' one of them from the describer, which 

 undoubtedly represent the same species." Since the two forms differ, from the 

 diagnoses, so widely in the armature, there must, 1 think, be some error.
