I cannot find in the Museum Collection (including those received 

 from Mr. Cuming) any shell that agrees with Mr. Sowerby's figure 

 of Cahjptraa dilatata (Chenu, Mam. f. 2349). Some specimens 

 of Trochella maculata are oblong or elongate, but they always 

 have a deep impression on the right side of the hinder part of the 

 cavity. 



Mr. Swainson formed a genus for C. dilatata under the name of 

 Haliotoideus, which has been adopted as a subgenus by Adams and 

 Chenu. 



Tribe II. Shell oblonff ; apex jjosterior or subposterior, with a 

 transverse plate on the hinder side of the cavity dividing it 

 into two parts. Cryptaina.

 semicircular, separated from the columellar edge by a broad trian- 

 gular slit.
