Shell in every way similar to Katayama nosophora nosophora, 

 differing from it in being in every v^^ay a little larger and in having 

 a different denticulation count in the inner marginal teeth. Katayama 

 nosophora yoshidai has 8 denticles, and Katayartm nosophora noso- 

 phora has 9. 



The type and the 100 paratypes here measured were received from 

 Dr. Yoshida and were collected at Kurume, Kyushu Island, Japan. 

 The 100 paratypes whose measurements are subjoined here were not 

 selected but taken at random. 



Only the specimens marked with a superior b have the shell 

 complete.
