  u'hich 
  was 
  reprinted 
  in 
  Oldroyd 
  (1924; 
  1924b, 
  vol. 
  I). 
  The 
  following 
  original 
  lines 
  

  

  should 
  be 
  added 
  to

  "Middendorff's 
  shell 
  is 
  figured 
  with 
  much 
  stronger 
  ribs, 
  but 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  described 
  from 
  

   decorticated 
  specimens."

  Even 
  allowing 
  for 
  variation, 
  the 
  specimens 
  illustrated 
  by 
  Oldroyd 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  several 
  

   points 
  of 
  difference 
  with 
  the 
  types. 
  In 
  review 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  the 
  Oldroyd 
  shell 
  would 
  bear 
  

   critical 
  examination. 
  

  

  Willett 
  (1944, 
  p. 
  Ill) 
  diagnosed 
  a 
  change 
  in 
  the 
  shell 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  southern 
  California.
