!!N<< III TON. 



The type of this species < Mi is. Sniiihs. In.-t., HVjo | , is a pale little 

 Chiton, tin- color spots bring very inconspicuous. The - -ruiim: " 

 of the central areas is rather shallow ; the pit- are mostly squarish. 

 The posterior denticles of the valves are unequal and irregularly 

 spaced. The girdle-scales have a stony appearance, and only reveal 

 the strirc under strong magnification, and some scales do not show it 

 at all.

Shell oval, wide, subdepressed, most minutely granulated, sub- 

 carinated : valves straight; lateral areas inconspicuous; margin 

 wide, minutely scaly. 



Length one-half, breadth three-eighths inch. (Sow6.) 



A very neat, small, dark colored species; granulated, but so 

 minutely as to appear smooth. It is distinctly keeled, yet depressed. 

 The lateral areas are not very distinctly separated* from the central. 

 The margin is broad and scaly ; the color dark olive, in some spec- 

 imens nearly black ; inside green. (Soivb.~)

This form seems to be nearest to /. punctulatisaimns Sowb. (vol. 

 xiv, p. 115). I have not seen specimens. 



I. INCA d'Orbigny. Vol. XIV, PI. 27, figs. 52, 53, 54. 



Shell oblong, whitish, depressed, subcarinated ; evenly and very 

 minutely granulated. Length 9 mill. This species is remarkable 

 for its uniform white tint, for its much depressed, subcarinated form, 

 the surface evenly marked with very small points throughout except 

 on the median line, the lateral areas slightly indicated. The margin 

 is very finely scaly. ( Orb.}
