160 HELTX-CANDIDULA. 



ery are broader and somewhat more constant. Surface very regu- 

 larly and finely rib -striated, as in H. heripensi*. 



Spire very low, but slightly convex. Whorls 5 J, slightly convex > 

 slowly increasing until the last which is much wider and descends a 

 trifle in front ; it is strongly carinated in front, the earina situated 

 high on the whorl, and extending from its origin about one-half 

 around, where it gradually becomes obsolete ; the latter part of the 

 body-whorl being rounded at the periphery and regularly convex 

 beneath. Aperture round-lunate, basal, and outer lips regularly 

 curved, peristome strengthened within by a strong white rib. 



Alt. 5J, diam. 10J mill.

This species, which I have received from Arnould Locard, belongs 

 to the immediate group of JET. heripensis, agreeing in sculpture, 

 umbilicus and aperture with that species, but differing in the gener- 

 ally more pallid coloring and the strong carination of the first half 

 of the body-whorl. 



H. ANDALUSICA Kobelt. PL 40, figs. 43, 44. 



Shell depressed, openly umbilicated, the umbilicus about one-fifth 

 the diameter of the shell ; solid, opaque, white or a little tinged with 

 brown, showing some scattered translucent dots, and sometimes a nar- 

 row brown interrupted band above the periphery, margined below 

 by a white one. Surface very finely and regularly striated above 

 and below. 



Spire low-conic, the apex minute ; apical whorl dark. Whorls 

 51, rather convex, very slowly increasing, the last much wider, 

 rounded it periphery and beneath, a trifle descending in front. 



Aperture oblique, oval-lunate, peristome having a very strong 

 white rib within, the outer margin well curved, basal margin a little 

 straightened. 



Alt. 7-7 J, diam. 11J-12 mill. 



Algesiras, etc., southern Spain.

Belongs to the group of H. caperata ; well characterized by the 

 peculiar umbilicus. The specimens described above are from Pon- 

 sonby.
