The dorsal carina of the last whorl varies from a mere indi- 

 cation to a strongly projecting keel; and the peristome may 

 be either quite free or adherent at its upper margin. The fine 

 costulation is uniform, except on the latter half of the last 

 whorl, where it becomes sharper and lower. The species is 

 known only from Morelet's description and figures, which in- 

 dicate a larger and especially stouter form than any other 

 continental Brachypodella. It is far removed from the range 

 of other known species, and apparently has been found by 

 none of the numerous other naturalists who have collected 

 around Quito, so that confirmation of the habitat and exam- 

 ination of the interior of the shell are desirable.

Apparently an abundant species along the northern shores 

 of South America, eastward nearly to Trinidad, and thus far 

 known from points on the coast only. Pfeiffer 's description 

 is given above, and his figures copied, pi. 6, f. 21, 22. The
