 has attained its full size that the reflected lip is added,

 former by its greater size, covered umbilicus, and want of 

 the tooth-like process on the pillar lip, and from H. zaUta 

 by the absence of the tooth, and its less ventricose form. 

 The differences between it and H. major are pointed out 

 m the remarks on that species.
