 name changed on account of Bulimus gossei Pfr., a Microcer- 

 amus; cf. PFR. Malak. BL, xxiii, 1876, p. 215, no. 9) . 



A. gossei is narrower and more cylindric than A. tricolor, 

 more coarsely and strongly sculptured, and not tessellated. 

 The two species are otherwise nearly related. A. gossei is a 

 rare species, and its exact locality is unknown.
