  As 
  suggested 
  by 
  Carpenter, 
  and 
  finally 
  confirmed 
  by 
  J. 
  R. 
  Le 
  B. 
  Tomlin 
  through 
  ex- 
  

   amination 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  a 
  Japanese 
  form. 
  Tomlin 
  iden- 
  

   tified 
  it 
  as 
  Macrocallista 
  chishiniana 
  Pilsbry 
  (1905), 
  in 
  which 
  case 
  Pilsbry's 
  name 
  would 
  

   fall 
  in 
  synonymy. 
  Carpenter 
  seemed 
  certain 
  of 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  a 
  lunule 
  on 
  the 
  shell 
  he 
  des- 
  

   cribed. 
  Lack 
  of 
  such 
  a 
  character 
  would 
  exclude 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  Macrocallista 
  and 
  hence 
  

   would 
  eliminate 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  M. 
  chishimana. 
  However, 
  in 
  the 
  identification 
  of 
  Macro- 
  

   callista 
  by 
  Tomlin 
  one 
  would 
  assume 
  that 
  the 
  shell 
  had 
  a 
  lunule.
