The specimen described above and figured on pi. 49, figs. 27-29, 

 is much smaller than that figured by Reeve. The species is inter- 

 mediate between H. parva and H. tricostalis, having the general 

 appearance and color of the first, but agreeing with the last-named 

 in having radiating lameike or folds. 



H. TRICOSTALIS Lamarck. PI. 16, figs. 84, 85. 



Shell rounded-oval, depressed, having a strong spiral rib on each 

 side of the row of perforations, and prominent elevated radiating 

 lamellae around the spire ; 5 to 6 open perforations. 



The shell is moderately large but thin, of the depressed, irregularly 

 oval shape common to all Padollus. Color " reddish or variegated 

 olive and green." Surface having a strong rounded ridge inside of 

 the row of elevated tubular holes, and a smaller, nodose ridge outside 

 of it ; above finely striated spirally, and with coarse raised lamellae 

 between the spire and the inner spiral rib. Inside it is silvery and 

 very iridescent, with excavations corresponding to the elevations of 

 the outer surface. The columellar plate is narrow, obliquely trun- 

 cated below. Perforations tubular, 5 or 6 open. 



Length 74, width 53 mill.
