H. SARDINIENSIS Villa. PL 45, figs. 18, 19, 20, 21. 



This has been considered a synonym or variety of H. conspurcata, 

 but it is smaller, has fewer whorls, which increase more rapidly and 

 less regularly ; the umbilicus is not so narrow, the aperture is larger, 

 less rounded, more quadrate. The sculpture consists of elevated 

 riHets, very' different from that of conspurcata.
