The largest American Chlorostoma. Some specimens are much 

 depressed. The dimensions are frequently smaller than above 

 given. Fisher gives alt. 50, diam. 54 mill, as the measurements of 

 a specimen in the Paris collection. 



Var. MCESTUM Jonas. PI. 28, figs. 50, 51. 



This form differs from the preceding in being smaller, narrower 

 and more elevated. Alt. 28, diam. 26-28 mill.

Allied to the following species, but narrower, more elevated, and 

 much less distinctly carinated. It bears about the same relation to 

 C. luctuosum that C. mcestum does to C. atrum, and should per- 

 haps rank as a variety of that species.
