Obs. — We have correctly identified specimens of N. marochi- 

 ensis, Lamarck, before us, with which the above species has been 

 confused, apart from diflferences of form and colour marking, the 

 umbilical characters are quite distinct.

 Obs. — Reeve's species, N. baconi, is founded on a large 

 specimen with a predominating bluish-grey tint, and his N, 

 fibula is merely a young shell. Tryon unites with this species, 

 N. clavata, Sowerby, which has especial and striking characters, 

 the specimens before us from Mauritius have the body whorl 

 covered with a light brown epidermis.

 fossil species named by him N. polita. but such is not the case.
