SYNONYMS AND REFERENCES. 



Helix bulbina DESHAYES, in Fer. i. p. 108, pi. Ixxxv. figs. 14-18. 

 PFEIFFER, Mon. Hel. Viv. iii. 201. 



Remarks. This is Deshayes's description of a shell found 

 by him in Ferussac's collection labelled profunda. It may 

 be, perhaps, the young of that species. I have given a fac- 

 simile of one of his outline figures. Pfeiffer repeats his 

 description, not having seen the shell. 



The banks of the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri are 

 given as the habitat.

HELIX LUCIDA DRAPARNAUD vol. ii. p. 233, pi. xxii. a, fig. 2. 



Found in Ohio. 



Having sent some of Dr. Ingalls' shells to Pfeiffer, he 

 declares there is no perceptible difference between them 

 and the lucida of Europe.

Mighels (Shells of Maine) declares he can see no differ- 

 ence between this and lucida. 



Pfeiffer, 1. c., unites Ottonis to this species. He quotes 

 arborea from Cuba, but Poey doubts its existence there.
