KiENER (1. c), that from Stat, i is young and resembles the upper whorls of Kiener's fig. i ; 

 the specimens from Stat. 71 belong perhaps to var. hirritus Lam. but are too young to be 

 quite certain about them; by comparing fig. O of Rumph, with the figure of Chemnitz, quoted 

 by Lamarck for his var. turrihts^ I think v. Martens was wrong in identifying that fig. O 

 with the var. turrihis. In the type the back view of the last whorl occupies at least half the 

 length of the shell, in the variety it is shorter, in Chemnitz's figure it scarcely surpasses a third 

 part of the length. Tryon's fig. 43 may still belong to the type of the species.

Both specimens are empty shells, they are very small, being only 29 and 32Y3 Mill, in 

 length. They differ from the descriptions by the columella; which is wrinkled in its whole length 

 instead of being only wrinkled above and below, but as these wrinkles are less conspicuous in 

 the specimen from unknown locality, I suppose this character may have but little value. By 

 these wrinkles the shells are allied to 5. deformis (Gray in Griffith's Animal Kingdom, 

 Vol. XII, pi. 25, fig. 5), but the shape of the apertural wing agrees with that of 5. labiosus \ 

 the Siboga-specimens are in some degree intermediate between the two species.

The specimen from Stat. 133 agrees very well with Reeve's figure but it is smaller and less 

 intensely coloured, that from Stat. 279 is still smaller and has a basal row of obtuse tubercles, 

 the third from Stat. 313 is young, this latter specimen has some resemblance with the species 

 of the dentahis-grou-p, but I cannot conceive how Tryon considers this species to be a variety of 

 5. dentahis, as it is very conspicuously winged; the observation of Reeve, that many specimens 

 of 5. labiosus are nearly allied, fully agrees with the specimen from Stat. 133. Unfortunately 

 none of the specimens contained the soft parts.
