This species is remarkable for the compression of the upper part 

 of the whorl, more marked than in any other species. 



H. PERUVIANA d'Orbigny. PI. 43 figs. 3, 4, 5. 



Shell oval, ventricose, ver}' thin, transparent, greenish-yellow 

 very finely spirally striated, visibly unibilieated. Aperture wide in 

 front, narrow behind ; columella with a prominent cord, which 

 above, where it turns inward, is not applied to the epidermis but 

 stands out in the form of a sharp lamina. Alt. 20 mill. Animal 

 greenish-yellow, peppered with close black dots, less numerous be- 

 low.

Bulla peruviana Orb., Voy. dans I'Amer. Merid., p. 211, pi. 

 19, f. 4-6 (under the name B. hydatis, on plate). — Haminea natal- 

 ■ensis Sowerby, Conch. Icon. f. 7, not of Krauss; Cf. E. A. Smith, 

 Ann. Mag. N. H. (4), ix, p. 347, 1872. 



The color and striation is the same as in H. navicula, but H. per- 

 uviana is more swollen, less oblong, and the columella is elevated in 

 -a sharp plate above, not appressed as in the European species. The 

 three stomach-plates are smooth. PI. 41, fig. 27 represents the 

 synonymous JT. natalensis Sowb., the assigned locality of which is 

 evidently incorrect. Orbigny's figures (copied on my plate) are 

 double natural size. 



Species of Japan and China. 



H. ANGUSTA Gould'. PI. 40, fig. 93.

 rounded ; yellow-green, engraved with transverse striae ; vertex 

 obliquely truncate, subperforate. Aperture enlarged in front ; col- 

 umella hardly excavated, folded and surrounded with a callus.
