It is difficult to distinguish immature specimens of this species from 

 P. cronkhitei Newc. , but vv^hen full grown perfect specimens are com- 

 pared it is seen that striatella is a smaller shell with a proportionately 

 larger umbilicus, it is of a richer brown color, more regularly and 

 elegantly ribbed and more polished or glistening on the surface. The 

 animal of striatella shows no red maculations through the translucent 

 shell when living, such as are seen in P, ruderata.

Mr. Binney observes that this species is larger, of a lighter color, is 

 more coarsely (and I may add more irregularly) striated than P. 

 striatella. It also has when full grown a larger shell and relatively 

 smaller and deeper umbilicus. I am obliged to confess that I am not 

 able to distinguish shells long dead from those of P. ruderata^ which
