The type lot of this species is preserved in the museum of Cor- 

 nell University, and consist of three specimens: the type drawn on 

 pi. I, figs. 7, 8, 8 ; a smaller specimen broken above, pi. I, fig. 3 ; 

 and a young shell. 



The larger shell is slightly abnormal in having the last whorl 

 deeply descending on its last half, owing to a slight fracture. There 

 are 6 whorls, the earlier two forming the nepionic nucleus, apex ob- 

 tuse ; those following are convex, with moderately deep sutures, 

 showing slight growth wrinkles and close minute spiral, wavy im- 

 pressed lines, which are well developed over the whole surface, and 

 not different from those of E. j^eliomphala in fineness and spacing. 

 Umbilicus moderate, about one-eleventh the diameter of the shell, 

 rather more open inside than in peliomphala, half covered by the 

 expanded columellar lip. Alt. 19, diam. 28 mm. 



The smaller specimen figured differs in the less descending last 

 whorl, less oblique aperture, less covered and larger umbilicus, 

 which is between one-eighth and one-ninth the diam. ; alt. — , diam. 

 26 mm. Both show a very slight, hardly noticeable angulation of 

 the periphery at the origin of the body whorl. The color is a uni- 

 form pale corneous-buff', lip white. 



The species is very nearly allied to Eulota peliomphala, but seems 

 to be specifically distinct. Kobelt misquotes the reference to Cal.
