There appears to be a W. Indian species, so closely allied to 

 this, that the figures quoted might apply to either. Dr. Gray 

 however ideutified the solitary Mazatlan shell with the above 

 name. The W. Indian shell (Bristol Mus.) is of a richer 

 colour, with the beaks less rostrate, and the dorsal sinus 

 deeper and broader. Long. '25, lat. '18, alt. "16.
