polished, almost smooth, growth-lines showing more distinctly

 ovate, a little less than half the length of the shell ; lip simple,

A handsome dark purple-brown shell, much shorter than E. 

 aurantiaca. The narrow sutural border is defined by an im- 

 pressed line, and at the suture itself a very narrow whitish 

 line runs. Under a strong lens very weak traces of spiral 

 lines are visible. The columella is more concave in a front 

 than in an oblique view, and the outer lip is strongly arcuate. 

 One of the type lot measures, length 20.5, diam. 10, aperture 

 9.5 mm. 



69. E. CHIRIQUIENSIS (Da Costa). PL 27, fig. 45. 



Shell subfusiform-oblong, pellucid- corneous or whitish;

 Whorls 5, rounded, polished, longitudinally strongly striate, 

 under a lens transversely striate. Columella twisted, ab- 

 ruptly truncate, whitish; aperture moderate, the lip white- 

 edged. Length 19.5, diam. 9, aperture 9x4.5 mm. (Da C.).

This species bears a strong resemblance to G. underwoodi 

 Fulton, but differs from it in having a more attenuated spire. 

 The color is generally much paler, in fact occasionally it is 

 nearly white, while the columella and peristome are always 

 white (Da C.).
