NATURAL SCIENCES OP PHILADELPHIA. 59 



Of Orphnus we have examined one species, B. Hanleyi, Pfr. 

 (Ara, Jouvn. Conch., YI. 208). The jaw is ribless, with a median 

 projection. The lingual dentition is given on plate VI., fig. 5. 



Dryptus we have examined in two species, B. pardalis, Fdr. 

 (Am. Journ. Conch., VII. 181) and B. marmoratus, Dunk. (1. c). 

 The jaw of the latter is unknown. In the former it is ribbed. 

 The lingual dentition of i?. marmoratus is given on plate VI., fig. 2. 

 In B. pardalis it has not been examined. 



Eurytus we know from only one species, B. aiilacosfylus, Pfr. 

 (Ann. Lye. N. H. N". Y., x. 282). The jaw has delicate ribs as in 

 Bulimulus, Cylindrella, etc. The lingual dentition is given on 

 plate VI., fig. 3. 



A comparison of the figures I have given of the lingual denti- 

 tion of the subgenera of Bulimus shows a greater constancy in 

 that genus than in Helix, especially as regards the marginal 

 teeth. 



I add a figure of the dentition of Gochlostyla fulgetrum, Brod. 

 (plate v., figs. 14-16). See Am. Journ. Conch., VII. 180.
