As neither the original figure of E. maria^ nor that 

 published with the description of "E. callista" is di-awn 

 in true proportion, or expi"esses clearly the characters of the 

 species, I take this opportunity of publishing a new figure. 

 For this purpose I have been fortunate enough to secure the 

 loan from Mr. Ponsonby of one of the original specimens 

 collected by Miss M. Bowker at Somerset East. I have also 

 examined one specimen, collected by the late Mr. Crawford, 

 in Mr. Ponsonby's collection, three specimens (co-types of 

 "E. callista") in Mr. Ponsonby^s collection, and three 

 specimens collected by Mr. Farquhar at the same time as 

 the type of "E. callista," two of which are in his collection 

 and one in mine. All these specimens were found at Somerset 

 East, the locality, " Dassy Krantz, Grahamstown," given 

 in the description of ^'E. callista," being an error arising 

 through the interchange of the contents of two boxes. Thus 

 Somerset East remains the only known locality for E . mari^. 

 The other shells affected by the interchange were those 

 described as "E. periploca"; so Somerset East cannot 

 be accepted as a locality for E. farquhari, of which 

 "periploca" is a synonym, on our present knowledge 

 of its distribution. 



The tooth on the columellar lip is not connected with the 

 internal columellar plait, as stated in the original description 

 of E. m aria?, but is quite distinct as defined in the description 

 of "E. callista." A narrow axial perforation rises from 

 the umbilical slit, a branch entering the columellar fold; 

 and the three peristomatal processes have corresponding 

 depressions behind the lips.
