Long. 18, diam. 11 J mil. Philippi also says of his L. glabrata 

 that it only differs by the coloration from L. obesa and L,

Profs, v. Martens and Hutton do not appear to have noticed 

 this form, so admirably represented by Philippi. In colora- 

 tion it much resembles L. diemenensis and has been confounded 

 with it by some authors ? The shape is quite different, the 

 spire being more elongately produced, &c. In some respects 

 it also resembles Reeve's figure of L. Icevis. It is smoother and 

 more regularly pyramidical, &c., than the preceding.

The subangulation of two or three of these specimens is almost 

 obsolete and may connect the form with L. columna, Philippi,
