GUDE : HELIC0ID LAXD SHELLS FROM JAPAN, ETC. 13 



B. Form connecting the type "with var. congener. The shell is 

 smaller, and has a brown streak behind the peristome ; lip tinged 

 with brown. All possess the dark-brown supra-peripheral band 

 and a narrow or wide umbilical patch ; one specimen has an 

 additional broad band (fourth) ; the others show near the lip, 

 next to the umbilical patch, a short broad zone of pale brown, 

 which I take to be the fourth band diffused. One other specimen 

 has a very narrow band under the suture. 



Ushirogawa, Tosa Island. Six specimens. 



Diam. maj. 32, ruin. 27 mm. ; alt. 20 mm.

C. Form connecting tbe type with var. nimhosa. Band formula 

 00345 ; bands slightly interrupted by transverse creamy streaks. 



Gomei, province Kai. Four specimens. 



Diam. maj. 28, min. 23 - 5mm. ; alt. 18 mm. 

 Fukura, Awaji Island. One specimen. 



Diam. maj. 28, min. 24 mm. ; alt. 19 mm. 



D. Form E. U/cJconin, Kohelt (Fauna Japon., pi. iv, figs. 6-9). 

 Differs from the type, which it approaches in shape and contour, 

 by the last whorl descending more deeply, the aperture con- 

 sequently being more oblique ; the umbilicus is much narrower, 

 perspective. 



Kioto. One specimen. 



Diam. maj. 36, min. 30"5 mm. ; alt. 26 mm. 

 Unicolorous pale creamy-yellow, the earlier three or four 

 whorls darker ; lips tinged with pale rosy-violet. 

 Nushima, Awaji Island. One specimen. 



Diam. maj. 34, min. 29 mm. ; alt. 24 mm. 



E. Var. congener, Smith (Proc. Zool. Soc, 1878, pp. 105, 106). 

 This variety is distinguishable by its pale creamy-white colour, 

 tinged with pink, especially behind the peristome ; lip rose, bands 

 when present blackish brown, continuous, varying in breadth. 



Kioto. Ten specimens. 



Diam. maj. 35, min. 29 - 5 mm. ; alt. 23 mm. 

 ISTushima, Awaji Island. One specimen. 



Diam. maj. 28*5, min. 23 - 5 mm. ; alt. 20 mm. 



F. Var. Amalice, Kobclt (Fauna Japon., pi. iv, figs. 17, 18). 

 Resembling var. congener, but more conoidal, aperture less 

 compressed laterally ; banded with brown, but not tinged with 

 pink, lip white. Xot collected by Mr. Hirase, but I possess three 

 specimens, without precise locality. I have thought it useful 

 to refer to this variety here, because it has been confused with 

 E. callizona. 



Diam. maj. 25, min. 22 mm.; alt. 19 mm.
