196 APPENDIX. 



No figure has been published. Dr. von Martens' description is 

 translated above. During the same year (1888), Clessin published 

 a description of this species under the name B. Iheringi. As it is 

 on one of the last pages of the Malak. Blatter for the year, while 

 von Martens' description appeared in the part of the Sitzungs-Ber- 

 icht for April, the latter apparently has priority. Clessiu's descrip- 

 tion here follows: 



B. iheringi Clessin. Shell lengthened globose, irregularly striated, 

 of a brown color. The sculpture of the second and part of the third 

 whorl is regularly, strongly ribbed, while the apex itself is nearly 

 smooth. The ribs on the fourth whorl do not extend as far as the 

 suture below, and become gradually more irregular in the following 

 whorls, remaining more strongly marked at the suture, and then 

 passing into irregular striae. Whorls 6, little convex, separated by 

 a deep suture, rather rapidly increasing, the last whorl composing 

 nearly a half of the shell. Aperture narrow-ovate; peristome very 

 much thickened and widened, reflexed, rose-red, the ends connected 

 by a strong, broad, closely appressed callus. Columella twisted, 

 much receding toward the left at its entrance to the aperture. Im- 

 perforate. Alt. 90, diam. 43, length of aperture 44 mill. (Cless.)* 



Taguara del Monde Nuovo, Rio Grande do Sid, Brazil (H. v. 

 Ihering). 



Dr. von Martens, who had the kindness to compare the sending 

 with the original examples in the Berlin Museum collecte'd by Dr. 

 Hensel, writes regarding this species : " It is the same species which 

 I identified doubtfully as B. lacunosus in Mai. Bl., xv, p. 177, from 

 a specimen of Dr. Hensel's in very poor preservation. The illustra- 

 tion of d'Orbigny corresponds fairly well, only B. lacunosus has a 

 white peristome and is more tapering above. It appears to be a new 

 species allied to B. lacunosus. The apical sculpture is like that of 

 B. sanctce Qrucis " ( Cless.*).
