appears that this species is not a Zonites, as orignally described, but rather a 

 Microphysa, like M. Lansingi and M. Ingersolli. With the former it shares 

 the peculiarity of having a ribbed jaw and aculeate marginal teeth to its lingual 

 membrane. 



The jaw has over 19 ribs of the same type as those of M. Lansingi (see PI. II. 

 Fig. 0). A portion only of the jaw is figured. 



The lingual membrane (PI. II. Fig. N) has four laterals on each side of the 

 central tooth.

Body oblong, extremities bluntly rounded : upper surface regularly arched ; 

 below, quite near the edge, the border of the mantle is readily 

 distinguished ; most of the under surface is occupied by the 

 broad, distinct locomotive disk : the body is uniformly snioke- 

 colored ; the four specimens received vary from* 5 to 3 mm. in 

 length.

Unfortunately omitted from Vol. V. The locality, Cape San Lucas, is doubt- 

 ful. It is so referred, probably by mistake, in the volume of Land and Fresh- 

 water Shells of North America, quoted above. There is no jaw, which renders 

 still more peculiar the presence of one in 0. borcalis ; on this account, I place 

 the genus in Agnatha in the catalogue offered with this. The dentition is as 

 in 0. borcalis (see Vol. V.). The upper margin of the base of attachment is still 

 more prolonged in this species. 



Helicodiscus fimbriatus, WETHEKBY. (p. 186.) 



Plate I. Fig. . 



Shell light green color, discoidal or planiform, widely umbilicate, consisting 

 of about five whorls, very gradually increasing in size. Aperture lunate, and 

 oblique to the axis of the shell. Peristome subacute, slightly thickened, and 

 darker than the rest of the shell, the outline somewhat sinuous when viewed 

 from the side of the whorl. Suture deeply and regularly impressed. Um- 

 bilicus exhibiting all the volutions. W T horls ornamented with from 6 to 8 

 revolving ridges, terminating in a fringe-like projection of the epidermis, fol- 

 lowing this arrangement. Two or three of these ridges on the upper side of 

 the body whorl are often of such prominence as to give that portion of the
