The specific name zebra has no doubt priority, but, as no fij^ure of the shell was 

 given, I select Pfeifl^er's pJilogophora, as being the next in chronological order, and 

 which was figured by Reeve. Moreover. I have not seen Le Gnillous species from 

 the Auckland Islands, wliich is narrowlv umbilicated, and may be distinct from 

 F. phlogophora.

Two specimens, slightly larger than the type, were found by Professor Benham,
