There is a strong resemblance between tliis species and 

 //. Pan of the Philippine Islands, but little or no affi- 

 nity, as they present characters illustrative of two difTerent 

 typical provinces of the genus. Among the characters 

 cliiefly noticeable in II. Fraseri, is the peculiar livid hue of 

 the enamel which lines the shell and is deposited on the 

 place of the umbilicus.
