* 1 1 have seen several author's examples of catenaria, and they uniformly represent shells not 

 adult. As I have not seen specimens of sublirata an I Floride.nsis, I rely on the figures and des- 

 criptions only, in considering them tn be the adults of the same species. 



J G. catenoides may prove to be a variety only of cataiaria and I at first un'ted them,but I have 

 recently come to the conclusion that they are distinct species, though nearly allied. 



§ I presume it was Mr. Lea's first intention to describe this species under tlie name of Etowah- 

 ensis, as a specimen is before me which that gentlemen sent to Mr. Anthony under that name. 

 This verj specimen was sent to Mr. Reeve and published by him, prior to the publication of Can- 

 byi by Mr. Lea. 



It is extremely difficult to distinguish this species from varieties of papillosa, Anth. 



I Dr. Brot considers this a synonym of Boykiniana, but it is Very different. 



If Doubtfully distinct from^ajpiHoio, Antb.
