last whorl, and again near the aperture, these differences are probably 

 the result of the new-building. I think the species is too much different, 

 to be a variety of P. brazierae, like Pilsbry suggests in Yol. IX, p. 142, 

 of Tryon's Manual.

Seko, Aug. 2, 1911; Oinaké, May 31, 1910. 



Both specimens, though very young, seem to belong to this species. 



forma major Strubcll mscr. 



Near S.-Coast of the Humboldtbay, May 18, 1910; Hollandia, March 

 29, 1911. 



These specimens have a diam. maj. of 33 mill. The aperture is very 

 strongly beaked, resembling in this respect the next variety, but much 

 larger, their keel is very acute, especially in the first-mentioned speci- 

 men; one specimen is yellowish with small dark markings, the other 

 more purplish, yellow near aperture, with somewhat spiral rows of blackish 

 streaks above, and a few blackish zones at the base.

Oinaké, May 31, 1910. 



This specimen is slightly larger than the type of Möllendorff, being 

 23 mill, in its largest diameter, against 21 in Mollendorff' s specimen.

Mouth of Sermorvai-river, March 20, 1911. 



The specimens differ slightly from the type in colour, the full-grown 

 and larger young specimens having the dark markings more developed 

 and mostly arranged in spiral bands, one specimen is purplish on the 

 upped whorls and the base, this specimen has a dark apex, while it is 

 whitish in nearly all the other specimens (one young specimen with 

 a very small black speck), in other characters they fully agree with the 

 type, but the base is light purplish in adult specimens. Young specimens 

 are conspicuously keeled, but in half-grown ones, the keel disappears.
