j| The shells included in the above extensive synonymy present some variation in form and co- 

 loration, but in an examination of several thousand specimens I was unable to separate the so- 

 called species satisfactorily. G. semicarinata. Say, is the young shell, which, when old, varies in 

 form, being narrow in angustispira and exilis, and broader in the other synonyms. The species 

 inhabits an extensive range of country.
