Extremes of form may be found to differ so far in certain 

 details as almost to appear separate species, but careful com- 

 parison of larger series renders it impossible to regard them 

 as other than varieties of the same. It is probable that all 

 reported occurrences of E. linearis, Krs., in the south-eastern 

 corner of the subcontinent are referable to the present species 

 or to Hypolysia flor entice, M. & P.

Bab. NATAL (Wahlberg,M. Krauss). Widely distributed 

 over the Eastern Province, Cape Colony; Natal; and Zulu- 

 land. Craven's loc, Lydenburg, Transvaal, is very doubtful. 



Krauss's description runs : — " B. testa subrimata, elongato- 

 turrita, tenui, nitida, cornea, sublaevi ; spira elongata, acuti- 

 uscula ; anfractibus 9 convexiusculis, ultimo J longitudinis 

 sequante ; columella stricta ; apertura oblongo-ovali ; peri- 

 stomate simplice, acuto, recto, margine columellari breviter 

 reflexo, basi adnato. Long. 7,5, diam. 2,2 lin." (i. e. long. 

 15*87, lat. 4*65 mm.). "In terra natalense ; legit J. A. 

 Wahlberg." 



The specimen kindly lent me by Dr. Theel is elongate, 

 turriform, rimate, olivaceous, thin, only moderately glossy, 

 semitransparent. Spire produced, acute, evenly tapering. 

 Apex rounded. Whorls 9, gradually increasing ; but little 

 convex; the first two smooth, remainder faintly sculptured 

 with fine, regular, close, curved strise, hardly visible to the 

 naked eye before the sixth whorl. Suture well defined, but 

 not deep. Aperture almost elliptical, rounded at base. Peri-
