Well represented by the above-quoted figures in the Con.

I consider this form scarcely separable even as a variety. I 

 have seen equally cylindrical forms from India, &c.

Intermediate between the two larger figures in the Conch.- 

 Cab., with more of the ordinary " scahra " type.

 Eesembling pi. 28, fig. IB., 1. c.
