168 POTAMIDES, CERITHIOPSIS. 



L. septemstriata, Say, usually applied to specimens with white 

 sutural band, L. nigrescens, Menke, for the uniformly dark colored 

 specimens, L. nigrinum, Phil., being identical, L. clathrata, Menke, 

 L. heteroclytes, Lam., L. striatella, Dillw., L. albovittata, C. B. Ad., 

 L. Peloritana, Cantraine, L. laevigata, Phil. (= desolata, Bayle), 

 probably a worn specimen. Ceritliium Brongniarti, Marav. (C. 

 Piraini, Benoit, and C. Hymerensis, Calcara, are said to be syno- 

 nyms), has been referred here by some European authors ; others 

 have considered it a distinct species allied to C. vulgatum; its iden- 

 tification remains doubtful. 



L. CORNEUM, Kiener. PI. 35, fig. 19. 



Thin, translucent, with rounded whorls and narrow longitudinal 

 plications, spirally striate ; reddish brown. Length, 10 mill. 



Hab. unknown. 



I know nothing about this species ; it seems to have escaped sub- 

 sequent monographers. It is scarcely a member of the present 

 group.
