CHLORITIS. AMPHIDBOMUS. 177 



half a whorl more ; the hair-scars, moreover, are much finer and 

 more crowded, while the presence of a supra-peripheral band, 

 although only a faint one, still further differentiates it from 

 C. anserina. 



Fig. 81. Chloritis theobaldi. (From Proc. Malac. Soc. London.) 



A specimen in the Hungerford collection of the British Museum 

 I also refer to C. theobaldi. It is a trifle smaller than the type, 

 measuring 24 : 20 : 15 mm., and exhibits a very faint trace only of 

 the supra-peripheral band near the peristome. 



The two species approach (?. franciscanorum, Gredler, a Chinese 

 form. C. theobaldi especially bears a striking resemblance, but 

 has the umbilicus a little more contracted, the spire is relatively 

 higher, and the aperture is less dilated laterally, while the 

 columellar margin ascends less obliquely ; the hair-scars are also 

 finer.
