tira strigilata et reticulata; apice decumbente, longe marginem 

 posticum superante ; labio interno latiusculo, margine arcuato ; 

 operculo subelongato, dente elongate 



More elongated than N. depressa, and having the apex pro- 

 duced very much beyond the margin; the septum is rather 

 broader and arched at the edge ; the operculum is rather longer.

N. testa oblonga, valide convexa, iinmaculata; apice decum-

Oblong, and with a large apex as in N. macrocephala, but much 

 more convex and destitute of markings, and the septum nearly 

 straight at the edge.

N. testa ovali, depressa, sub epidermide nigro divaricatim stri-

Although the convex side of this species is much less elevated 

 than in N. porcellana, and the apex less prominent, I have much 

 hesitation in admitting the validity of the distinction.

Differing from N. porcellana in having the apex more distinct, 

 and decidedly curved upwards (holding the shell in a position ana- 

 logous to that of a Nerita with the spire uppermost) . The septum 

 is also broader than in N. porcellana, and slightly arched in the
