HELIX-EUHADRA. 223 



Despite the Chloritis-like aspect of this novelty, its nearest rela- 

 tive is not a Chloritis, but the H. cryptopila Mouss., from the island 

 Rakata, in Sunda Sts., and of Java (Pfr. Novit. Conch, iv, p. 40, t. 

 117, f. 10-12) ; but this is much lighter (grayish horn-colored), nmre- 

 acutely keeled, the keel continued to the aperture, causing the 

 latter to be angular; the peristome is much less widely expanded, 

 hardly reflexed. and not so strongly thickened as in our species, in 

 which it is moreover of a rose-red color. The granulation (punc- 

 tation) is much finer in telitecta,, the pilosity visible only under 

 strong magnification. The sudden contraction of the whorl behind 

 the aperture is also a peculiar feature of this new form. (Mlldff.)
