ORTHALICUS. 



Seems to differ chiefly in the obsolesence of part of the markings 

 of the typical form. The specimens figured by Pfeiffer in the Novi- 

 . tates Conchologicae (see my figure 14) is evidently referable to this 

 race, if such it proves to be. 



0. KELLETTI (Reeve). PI. 45, figs. 23, 24. 



Shell ovate, rather ventricose ; whorls 5, convex, roughly striated, 

 somewhat plicately crenulated at the sutures, last whorl much the 

 largest ; columella thickened, peculiarly twisted. Aperture rather 

 effused, lip thickened, reflected. Bluish-gray, encircled with four 

 bands of a darker color, and longitudinally lightning-marked with 

 narrow, waved and interrupted white streaks (five.) 



Alt. GO, diam. 34, mill, (from figure.) 



Ecuador: type locality unknown (Kellett) ; Southern Ecuador 

 (Dohrn); Ouenca, in the valley of Quito, (Paz and Martinez, Orton.)

If there be any division between typical keUetti and the variety or 

 form fungairinoi, the former will be restricted to shells with four 

 subequal bands and wide contour, as in the original figures, pi. 45, 

 figs. 23, 24; .and the varietal name proposed by Hidalgo will include 

 forms with the upper band narrow, the median wider, and the two 

 basal bands wide and to a greater or less extent coalescent, the whole 

 shell being of narrow contour (pi. 45, figs. 2528). 



In the variety fungairinoi, the folds below the suture are some- 

 times well-developed, as in fig. 27, sometimes entirely absent, as in
