dish-chestnut hand at the carina. Spire conoid, apex rather obtuse, 

 suture impressed'; whorls 6, a little convex, the last slightly descend-

 vex beneath compressed around the umbilicus ; aperture oblique, 

 ^ibquadrate-lunate; peristome a little expanded, the columellar 

 margin a little reflexed.

H. BAXTAMENSIS Smith. PI. 18, fig. 51. 



Shell elevated conic, obtuse at the apex, narrowly perforated, 

 somewhat thin, grayish-white, scarcely shining; whorls 7, slowly 

 increasing, the three upper ones convex, the remainder nearly flat, 

 all over minutely granulate, sculptured with very oblique delicate 

 growth-stride, at the scarcely oblique sutures margined with a slender 

 cariua ; last whorl acutely cariuated at the periphery, nearly flat 

 beneath, slightly descending in front. Aperture oblique, small, 

 equaling 3 the entire length ; peristome whitish, upper margin 

 oblique, thin, sinuous, slightly reflexed. the basal margin broadly 

 expanded, half-covering the umbilicus above.

H. RUFOFILOSA Bock. PL 3, fig. 55. 



Shell shortly conical, narrowly umbilicated, thin, semitrausparent, 

 of a greyish or horn-color, sometimes with a thread-like red line 

 bordering the sutures and encircling the last whorl at the periphery. 

 Spire with rectilinear outlines, converging at an angle of about 30, 

 rather obtuse at the apex. Whorls 7, very obliquely striated, slowly 

 increasing, keeled beneath immediately above the suture; three or 

 four uppermost rather more convex than those beneath, which are
