HELIX. 217 



GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. It has hitherto been 

 noticed only in Western Tennessee. 



REMARKS. The only species with -which this can be 

 compared is H. alternata, with which it nearly agrees in 

 form, color, and sculpture. The carinated variety of the 

 latter, especially, has a very close resemblance ; and, 

 although it has the marginal constriction under the 

 carina, it does not appear above, as in H. Cumberland- 

 iana. The shell before us is much more depressed, 

 smoother beneath, much more broadly umbilicated, and, 

 on account of the very decided peripheral carination, has 

 a much more decidedly lozenge-shaped aperture. [G.]
