A very remarkable and distinct genus allied to the Linnean 

 Helices, from all of which it diflfers in the curious contraction of 

 the pedal disk, and the caudal tentaculum furnished with a 

 gland beneath. They creep slowly and awkwardly, not being 

 able to support the shell, on account of the narrowness of the 

 foot, without proceeding in a meandering line : it is confined to 

 the higher and damper parts of the noble mountain on which 

 I have already discovered two species, and soon perishes when 

 brought into a drier atmosphere.
