The very few specimens found at Mazatlan, and referred to 

 this species by Mr. Gaskoin, differ not a little from the type 

 and among themselves. Some are slender, acuminate, with 

 the tubercles changed into costae, except the last few. In 

 these the ribs are very numerous and fine. Two others have 

 more the typical shape of A. varia, with the ribs further apart, 

 and in front slightly tubercular. The.r are known from the 

 previous species by the smoothness of the upper whirls. The 

 inside of the outer lip is more finely toothed, (the denticles 

 running into grooves,) and is often richly stained. The paint- 

 ing is very fine ; brownish purple penciUngs on a light ground. 

 Epidermis very thin, smooth and greenish. An elongated 

 specimen measures long. "52, loyig.spir. *27, lat. "2, alt. 37".
