* f I have seen several author's examples of catenaria, and they uniformly represent shells not 

 adult. As I have not seen specimens of sublimta anl Floriden&is, I rely on the figures and des- 

 criptions only, in considering them to be the adults of the same species. 



J G. catenoides may prove to be a variety only of catenaria and I at first united them,but I have 

 recently come to the conclusion that they are distinct species, though nearly allied. 



\ I presume it was Mr. Lea's first intention to describe this species under the name of Etowah- 

 cnsis, as a specimen is before me which that gentlemen sent to Mr. Anthony under that name. 

 This ven specimen was sent to Mr. Reeve and published by him, prior to the publication of din- 

 byi by Mr. Lea. 



It is extremely difficult to distinguish this species from varieties of papillosa, Anth. 



| Dr. Brot considers this a synonym of Boykiniana., but it ib very different. 



TJ" Doubtfully distinct from papillosa, Anth.
