The Area umbo7iata and the preceding oecidentalis area com- 

 mon as recent shells along the entire northern coast of Panama 

 and Costa Rica. The A. m)ibo?iata is recognized by its more 

 convex and angular shell and finer sculpture of the middle of 

 the shell disk. As a Gatun fossil we have but a single small 

 shell from the East Grape Point Creek. Dr. Maury records 

 the species from the Miocene of Santo Domingo and from 

 Porto Rico.
