legrandi Cox. Authors have compared it with II. juloidea Forbes, 

 but it more nearly approaches II. funerea Cox, from which it 

 differs by narrower umbilicus, greater height in proportion to 

 diameter and finer sculpture." With the excellent illustrations 

 provided by these authors, no difficulty should be experienced in 

 identifying the species.

 Town ; it may be distinguished from any other known species by 

 the bold projecting out of the ribs, by the interstices being of finer

 its widely separated bold striae and striated interstices. The stride 

 vary somewhat in prominence and compactness, so much so that 

 Mr. Beddome, at one time, thought it would be advisable to create 

 a new species for the specimens from The Blue Tier under the 

 name of II. JcamiaricB, but after careful examination with a large
