only is the umbilicus reduced or closed, but the slope of the whorl around 
it is different. The early whorls show no trace of the angulation present in 
early stages of C. bulimoides when unworn. The length is 12 to 15mm. ~ 
Cleopatra hargeri E. A. Smith, 1908, Proc. Malacol. Soc. London, 
VIII, 1, p. 18, fig., from the Kalungwesi River, an eastern affluent of 
Lake Noceo: appears from the description and figure to be very closely 
related to C. nsendweensis.

Specimens from the Luvua River, between Kiambi and Ankoro, 
recorded by Dautzenberg and Germain as C. bulimoides, are a form 
or race of nsendweensis which may be defined thus: 
The margin of the very narrow umbilicus or perforation is noticeably angular. 
Narrow bands accompany those near the suture and the periphery, below the principal 
bands. Color as in nsendweensis, buffy olive with chestnut-brown bands. 
Length, 11.0 mm. (apex eroded); diameter, 6.5 mm. 
The true C. bulimozdes (Olivier) has not yet been found in the Bel- 
gian Congo. Specimens from Dungo in the Pungo Andongo District, 
Angola, referred by«Morelet to C. bulimoides (1868, ‘Voy. Welwitsch, 
Moll. Terr. et Fluv.,’ p. 96) are before us. They have been rightly 
named by v. Martens (1897, ‘Deutsch Ost Afr., IV, Beschalte Weichth.,’ 
p. 185) as a distinct variety welwitschi. They may even prove specifically 
distinct for the reasons given by v. Martens, to which we may add that 
they lack any trace of the spiral keel on the early whorls.
