This species may eventually })r()vc but a large and fine 

 variety of B. japonica, A. Adams ; but at present 1 distinguish 

 it with a separate name, since there are several differences 

 whicli may be regarded as specific. The whorls are only 

 slightly angulated in the middle by the keel which encircles 

 them at that part ; and this keel is nndulated, a cliaracter not 

 assigned to B.japonica] the red spotting on the keels is also 

 absent in that species ; and the colour of the epidermis is differ- 

 ent. At the base of tlie cauda in the present species there is 

 a largish excavation ; but I am inclined to attribute it to a 

 repaired injury.

The dimensions of this species are, length 18 mill., diam. 6. 

 I give these measurements, as they are omitted by AEr. A. 

 Adams, whose practice it nearly always is to pass them over 

 as of no importance.
