HEL1X-CANDIDULA. 161 



H. ORDUNENSIS Kobelt. PI. 40, figs. 77, 78. 



Shell small, narrowly but deeply umbilicated, globose, slightly 

 depressed, strongly striated, white or yellowish-white with two 

 sharply defined chestnut-brown bands on either side of the middle 

 line, the upper band ascending the spire ; prettily marked with a 

 narrow pale line on the base. The spire is convex with small, 

 smooth, blackish, apex. There are five rather convex whorls 

 separated by a simple linear suture ; they increase regularly and are 

 closely and regularly striated ; the last is somewhat angulate, regu- 

 larly rounded, hardly noticeably descending in front ; the aperture 

 is but little oblique, nearly circular, peristome simple, sharp, having 

 a distinct white rib within ; the margins converging ; columellar 

 margin scarcely dilated at the inseition. (Kob.) 



Alt. 5, greater diam. 7, lesser 7 mill. 



Near Orduna, on the rocky crown of the Concha d' Orduna.

Differs from other species in the small size. 



H. VATONNIANA Bgt. (H. FLORENTINE Ponsonby). PI. 40, figs. 47, 48. 



Shell small, narrowly perforated, globose-trochoidal, rather strong, 

 not shining, dirty white with a few indistinct clear-brown bands of 

 spots and a series of more intensely colored, larger, radially disposed 

 spots under the suture. Spire high conical, with minute, hardly 

 obtuse apex. There are more than five well rounded whorls ; the 

 upper ones are smooth, horn colored ; the following irregularly and in 

 places rather coarsely striated ; they increase slowly and are 

 separated by a linear suture ; the last is nearly cylindrical, only a 

 trifle flattened on the base, not descending in front. Aperture 

 nearly circular, very little lunate, and but slightly oblique ; the per- 

 istome is thin, simple, not noticeably lipped ; the margins scarcely 

 approach each other, and the basal margin is hardly dilated at the 

 insertion. (Kob.*) 



Alt. 61, greater diam. 7, lesser 62 mill. 



Dunes east of Tangier.

Seems to stand in the group of H. apicina, but differ widely from 

 other species in the high spire. Mr. Ponsonby now regards the species 

 as a synonym of H. vatonniana Bgt.
