We consider this sufficiently to differ from H. namaquensis, the 

 shell being of decidedly less delicate substance, more compact, and 

 of a chalky whiteness; the mouth less effuse and distinctly ovate- 

 depressed at the base. It is also considerably smaller ; nor is the 

 slight malleation, so noticeable in the last whorl of that species, to be 

 found in H. gypsina. (M. & P.) 



Unfigured species.

This form differs from depressed specimens of sloaneana only in 

 the somewhat more acute carina and the much darker color. My 

 figures are from one of the original lot, several of which were kindly 

 sent me by Mr. Cockerell.
