This, like the succeeding species, has a thin columella 

 with two small, oblique folds, but the form is so 

 different that it would be a groat anomaly to associate 

 the two sheila under one specitic name.

The shell figured in the Conchological Illustrations 

 hardly seems to correspond with the shells in the 

 British Museum to which Mr. Gray's name is attached.
