Shell rather large, broadly ovate. Tip flesh colored, the succeed- 

 ing turns yellow, slowly grading to pale brownish-yellow on the last 

 part of the last whorl. Umbilical area brown, the brown may be 

 obscured by the umbilical callus; peripheral, median, and band at 

 the summit present, usually grading in shade in the order mentioned 

 from dark to lighter. Aperture produced, peristome expanded, thick- 

 ened and reflected, white. Interior of aperture bluish-white, except- 

 ing where the dark bands show through the substance of the shell. 



The specimen figured, Cat. No. 312953, U.S.N.M., corresponds well 

 with FeiTUssac's illustration. It has 5.1 whorls and measures — 'height, 

 44.2 mm. ; greater diameter, 38.9 mm. ; lesser diameter, 32.5 mm. This 

 is the largest of the races before me. Our material lacks a specific 

 locality. The determination of its exact habitat will therefore have 

 to be left to the future. 



Its large size and ovate form readily distinguish it from the other 

 known races.

Shell rather small, broadly ovate, early whorls white, succeeding

 last turn. In all our specimens the umbilical area is not dark. In
