E. mariee of d'Orbigny appears to be a variety of the present 

 species, which is certainly R. beanii of Hanley and R. textilis of 

 Philippi. Not Alvania reticulata of Philip Carpenter, which is a 

 Pacific species.

Some specimens are smaller than others from different localities, 

 and have a shorter spire with coarser or finer sculpture. R. sculpta 

 of Philippi corresponds with the former, and R. intermedia of Aradas 

 with the latter ; so that both may be the same species, as well as 

 that of Forbes. The names given by Forbes and Philippi were 

 published in 1844, that of Aradas in 1847.

The late Mr. McAndrew showed me specimens of this and the last 

 species which he had received from a correspondent in the United 

 States as North-American ; but this locality requires confirmation, 

 as neither species has been recorded from it. The present species
