Icon. f. 5a,B; Kiister, Conch.-Cab'. p. 67, pi. 10. f. 1, 2 (copied from Sowerby) ; Frauenfeld, Verhandl. &c. pp. 192-196 ; Reeve, Conch. Syst. pi. 189. f. 1 (the same plate as in the ' Conchological Illustrations'). HaB. S. America (SowerBy). The series of specimens of C. gibbosa in the Museum appear almost to connect it with the present species. The latter, nevertheless, may be distinct, on account of the development of the upper fold, or that above the large columellar one. 8. CHILINA MAJOR, Sowerby. Chilina major, Sowerby, Conch. 111. f. 10 ; id. Coneh. Icon. f. 3 Kiister, Conch.-Cab. pi. 9. f. 1-2??; Frauenfeld, Verhandl. zool.- botan. Gesellsch. Wien, 1866, pp. 192-195. HaB. S. America (SowerBy); Valdivia {Mus. Cuming). This species is hardly distinguishable from C. domBeiana, and ought, perhaps, to be considered a large and rather broad variety of it. The figure in Kiister's work does not accord with that in the ' Conchological Illustrations ;' nor does his description apply to it. 9 CHILINA PUELCHA, d'Orbigny. Chilina puelcha, Voy.

Chilina parva, Martens, Malacozool. Blatter, 1868, vol. xv. p. 185. HaB. In the primeval forest at Rbdersberg, South Brazil, in small streamlets (Martens). 12. CHILINA FASCIATA, Gould. Dombeya fasciata, Gould, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. 1847, vol. ii. p. 211 id. Otia Conch, p. 41 ; id. Moll. Wilkes's Explor. Exped. p. 123, Atlas, pi. 9. figs. 145, 145 a.
