 like C. catenata, Sow., in colour ; but that species is larger, 

 stouter, and more coarsely ribbed. It is even liker C. Bro- 

 deripii, Sow. ; but the Madeiran species is so variable as to 

 suggest much caution. It is the C. albuginosa, Peeve, Conch. 

 Icon. XI. no. 223 ; and probably G. pediculus, Monterosato, 

 and some other Mediterranean forms which he indi- 

 vidualizes.

 Sab. Mediterranean. — This as a species is painfully sug- 

 gestive of some depauperated forms of G. scripta, L., from 

 wMch, however, since some are willingly responsible for 

 separating it, it may be observed to differ in a slightly finer 

 apex and more delicate spiral threads round the snout ; but, 

 as distinctive features, neither colour nor size count for 

 much.
