E. longstaffl also bears traces of affinity to eremita, Eeeve, and E. domina, Benson, but may readily be distinguished from either by its less conoid, more attenuated spire. From E. can- delaris, Pfeiffer, another alHed form, it differs in the greater relative length of the last whorl, the conoid spire, the widened aperture, and the more developed peristome. Dr. Longstaff, who collected the shell in 1906, presented five specimens, which range in size from 31 x 12 ram. (type) to 26x11-75 mm. The illustrations represent the type in the
