form an oblique line ])arallel with the peristome, the first one 

 being nearest the aperture, whereas in C. trronea^u^ C. frijcBihex 

 form a semi-circle, the second fold being nearest the aperture. 

 The shell of C. odontophora is more regularly and less coarsely 

 ribbed than that of C. erronea, and is larger, although composed 

 of only from 4 to 4^ whorls, while the other two species possess 

 5 whorls. It further differs from C. erronea in that the last whorl 

 is moi'e deflected in front, more tumid, aud then suddenly con- 

 tracted behind the jieristome, more resembling C. frj/ce in these 

 respects, as also in the presence of a quadrate tooth on the basal 

 margin of the peristome. This specimen, moreover, although 

 adult, exhibits the immature form of palatal folds (see fig. 18 «) 

 immediately behind the callus of tiie mouth ; the folds themselves, 

 however, have already been absorbed.

CorUla fryoi differs from C. erronea in being more rounded in 

 outhne, larger, darker in colour and more shining beneath, the 

 ribs are more regular and less coarse ; the whorls are less convex, 

 almost flattened and distinctly angulated, almost keeled, midway 

 between the suture and the periphery, while the suture is less
