  found 
  by 
  tlie 
  former, 
  but 
  the 
  siiells 
  were 
  worn 
  and 
  upon 
  re-examination 
  

   they 
  seem 
  nearer

  The

  referred 
  

   to 
  is 
  not 
  well 
  drawn, 
  and 
  the 
  type 
  being 
  in 
  the 
  Indian 
  Museum, 
  

   Calcutta, 
  adds 
  to 
  the 
  difficulty.

  E.

  discussing

   We 
  figure 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  which 
  has 
  not 
  occurred 
  in 
  the 
  

   Townsend 
  collections. 
  It 
  is 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  seven 
  prominent 
  

   ribs, 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  continuous 
  up 
  the 
  spire, 
  but 
  are 
  irregularly 
  

   disposed,

  diagnosis.

   a 
  smoky-black

  have 
  yet 
  been 
  found.

  the 
  

   Pauraben
