FULTON : A NEW SPECIES OF STROPHOCHEILUS. 87 



finely granulated ; last whorl somewhat malleated, and with more 

 or less distinct in'egular spiral cords near the periphery ; lines of 

 growth somewhat decussated ; aperture a little more than half the 

 length of the shell, ovate, livid bluish within ; peristome moderately 

 thickened and expanded, polished, chocolate brown, fading to yellow 

 on its inner edge ; columella yellow, entering fold not very con- 

 spicuous, and only moderately strong. 



Tj'pe (in British Museum): alt. Ill, maj. diam. 57mm.; alt. of 

 aperture (including peristome), 63 mm. Another specimen in British 

 Museum: alt. 140, diam. 73mm. 



Mab. — Capas, Venezuela. 



In its general form this species is somewhat near large specimens of 

 S. Moritziamis^ Pfr., but its spire is more acuminate, its striping 

 bolder ; also its distinct granular sculpture and less malleated sui'face 

 distinguish it from that species. 



From S. pardalis, Fer., marmoratus, Dkr., and Veneziielensis, Nyst, 

 it can readily be separated by its less cj'lindrical form and its 

 proportionately larger aperture. It will be seen by the dimensions 

 given that this species, of which I have seen four specimens, attains 

 a very large size.
