The very young specimen from Stat. 282 is of doubtful identification, the specimens from 

 the Stations 93, 225 and Amboina are conchologically intermediate between the type and var. 

 ovum Gmel., they have the large brown spot on the back, but not those near the anterior 

 canal, the shape of the aperture however is in accordance with that of the type.

The specimens agree with the elucidations in Dautzenberg's paper, they have neither 

 the large brown blotch, nor smaller brown spots near the front-end, but are provided with an 

 orange streak between the teeth.
