 depressus, paulo supra medium angulatus, infra angulum convexior, medio subimpressus. 

 Apertura distincte obliqua, mediocris, lunata cxtus subangulata. Peristoma simplex, acutum

,,0n reconnaitra cette espece, dediee a M. E. Abeille de Perrin, directein- du JNIusee 

 de la ville d'Hyeres, et Entomologiste distingue, ä son test convexe-deprime, ä sa spire con- 

 vexe, conoide, assez elevee, ä ses cinq tours de spire ä croissance reguliere, ä l'angle du 

 dernier tour situe un peu au-dessus de sa partie mediane, ä son dernier tour mediocrement 

 developpe en hauteur, plus convexe en dessous qu'en dessus, ä l'eclat un peu huileux de 

 son test sur la partie superieure, enfin ä sa teinte cornee intense. Cette cocjuille est voisine 

 de l'Hartmanni, mais eile est moins brillante; sa teinte et son eclat ne sont pas identiciues; 

 ses tours s'accroissent avec plus de lentcur, etc."

Endodonta (Thaumatodon) ringens, Sykes, Proc. malac. Soc, 1. c. : ,,Testa parva, 

 late et perspective umbilicata, regulariter ruguloso-striata, corneo-flavescens, rufo maculata; 

 spira depressa, apice mediocri, laevi ; anfr. 5 — 510, tumidusculi, compressi, regulariter accres- 

 centes, ultimus ad peripheriam rotundatus, basi convexiusculus ; apertura rotundo-lunaris, 

 lamellis duabus conspicuis parietalibus, supera majore; dentibus quatuoribus in labio."

„This shell recalls in form E. hystrix, Mighels, but in lamellae and teeth strongly 

 resembles E. rugata, Pease. It may be separated from this last species by the more de- 

 pressed spire, the absence of keel on the last whorl, deeper suture, the absence of revol- 

 ving Striae, etc." 



Sykes, Fauna Moll. Hawaiiensis, 1. c: ,,In describing this species, J refcrred to it as 

 having four teeth within the outer lip; perhaps it would be more correct to say ,,one basal 

 tooth and three within the outer lip". The ribs appear to be at varying distances apart. 

 The Molokai specimens appear to bclong to a large variety."
