* Among the varied forms usually referred to this species, three are 

 promiuent: -Ist, one which may be regarded as the type, and which an- 

 swers well lo Swainson's somewhat magnified figure ; this is sometimes 

 flecked a little with white, after the manner of M. guttata, Dillw. '2(\, 

 the shell which I have formerly discriminated as M. amahilis, represented 

 by figs. 102 and 114 of Sowerby's Thesaurus, and mistaken by him for 

 M- carnea. 3d, a form more attenuated anteriorly, figured by Sowerby 

 (Thes. f. 106, 107) as the type. Reeve's figure approaches the first of these 

 forms. I much incline to regard the three as distinct species. If so con- 

 sidered, the third might take the name of 31. rostrata. M. carnea (Thes. 

 f. 103) is certainly distinct from either of tl>e above. 



t Preoccupied by Edwards ia 1852 for a fossil species.
