DALL: MOLLUSCA AND BRACHIOPODA. 343 
U. 8. S. “Albatross,” station 3358, Gulf of Panama, in 555 fathoms, sand, 
bottom temperature 40°.2 F. U. S. N. Mus. 123,055. 
This species is closest to Z. carinata Cantraine, var. tricingulata Locard, of 
the Atlantic, from which it is most easily distinguished by its thinner shell and 
three sharp and elevated instead of blunt and low spiral keels. 
These shells appear to be somewhat confused, and a little discussion of their 
characters may throw some light on the subject. A sketch of the synonymy may 
be prefixed to the other data.

In the Jeffreys collection we have a fine series of this species both recent and 
fossil, as well as a large series of the Leptothyra albida Dall, from various 
localities in the vicinity of the West Indies, dredged by the “ Albatross,” 
“Blake,” and others.
