 in guttata, its margins converging, but not joined 1,\ a callus ; pn-i-

Described as H. dschulfensii. H. dj-n/jcti*ix Mouss. i> tin- same. 

 There are in this species, as in H. guttata, fine impressed spiral lines 

 below the suture; these are, however, sometimes almost obsolete. 

 The figures on pi. 55, (copied from v. Martens), are broader and 

 more depressed than the specimens I have seen which are better rep- 

 resented by the figures on pi. 66.

Umbilicate, depressed, thin but strong, finely, reirularlv striate' 

 excessively minutely granulate, but not spirally striate; spire de-
