JAPANESE MOLLUSKS, CORALLIOPHILID^E. 45 



cited above belong to one species. The numerous specimens col- 

 lected by Mr. Stearns show both of Lischkes' forms and many inter- 

 mediate between them, as well as other mutations. When com- 

 pletely adult there are a few widely spaced denticles within the lip, 

 as in P. luteostoma, from which this form differs mainly in the black- 

 ish substance of the shell, which is conspicuously shown upon the 

 eroded tubercles and within the aperture. Connecting specimens 

 between this form and luteostoma probably occur.
