408 TERRESTRIAL AIR-BREATHING MOLLUSKS. 



All the species of Orthalicus enumerated above whose dentition is known 

 have the same type of teeth as 0. undalus, excepting O. galltna-sultana. This 

 last (see Ann. Lye. N. H. of N. Y., XI. 38, PI. IV. Fig. A) is peculiar in hav- 

 ing a long, stout cutting point with subobsolete side points to its central tooth, 

 and three lateral teeth of same form but asymmetrical. Thus in both Lir/uus 

 and Orthalicus we find the usual type of dentition is not constant excepting as 

 to the marginal teeth. 



I have also examined the form figured in Vol. IV. PL LXXVIII. Fig. 

 12, and copied in L. and Fr.-W. Shells N. A., I. p. 216, Fig. 370 (not Fig. 

 371, which is referred by Fischer and Crosse to O. melanochilus, Val.). It 

 is probably a variety of undatus, not 0. zebra, as I at first believed. The jaw 

 has 7 1 7 separate pieces. The lingual membrane has 126 1 126 teeth. 

 The teeth are of same type as in 0. undatus, but the cutting edge of the cen- 

 trals and first laterals is shorter than the base of attachment. 



Orthalicus undatus, BRUG. 

 Vol. III. PL LIV. 



Shell iinperforate, subconical, rather thick, smooth ; incremental striae fine, 

 whitish, with longitudinal, irregular, undulating or somewhat zigzag, dark 

 brown bands and clouds, intersected by straight, revolving lines of the same 

 color ; the body-whorl often with one or more straight, brown lines, at irregu- 

 lar intervals, indicating the former margins of the aperture ; spire conic, apex 

 obtuse ; whorls 6 to 7, diminishing in diameter rapidly ; body-whorl capacious, 

 occupying two thirds of the whole length of the shell ; aperture ample, ovate, 

 showing the external colors within ; peristome simple, acute, bordered with 

 dark brown, or black, both internally and externally ; parietal wall with a thin, 

 shining, brownish, entering callus ; columella slightly thickened, not reflected, 

 nor truncate, making a continuous curve with the peristome. Common length 

 of axis about 50 mill.; diameter of large whorl rather more than 25 mill.
