Sowerby from the type in the Cumingian collection. In 

 regard to H. infecta, I cannot find specific characters in 

 the specimen kindly sent me by Dr. Pfeiffer. The original 

 descriptions of these two forms now follow : — 



Helix inffcta. T. umbilicata, conoideo-depressa, tenuiter costulato- 

 striata, coruco-albida, rufo obsolete fasciata et radiata; spira conoidca, 

 vertice subtili ; anfr. 6 convexiusculi, lente accrescentes, ultiraus antice 

 non descendens, peripberia obsoletissime angulatus ; umbilicus conicus, 

 2 diametri subajquans; apertura diagonalis, lunato rotundata; perist. 

 simplex, rectum, marginibus convergentibus, columcUari subpatulo. 

 Diam. maj. 17 ; inin. 15 ; alt. 9 mill. Hab. in Canada teste Parreyss.

Helix nwrdax Pfeiffer, Mon. Hel. Viv. iii. 635. 



I have already expressed my belief that this is a mere 

 variety of alternata. Pfeiifer (1. c.) merely repeats the 

 original description, not having seen the shell. 



HELIX CUMBERLANDIANA Lea vol. ii. p. 216, pi. xxxi. 



Carocolla Cumherlandkma Troschel, Ar. f. Nat. 1843, ii. 124.

HELIX STRIATELLA Anthony vol. ii. p. 217, pi. xxx. fig. 2. 



Helix striatella Chemnitz, ii. 115. 



Pfeiffer, iii. 100. 



Reeve, Con. Icon. No. 727, (1853). 

 Helix ruderata Adams in Sill. Journ. 40, p. 408. 



Pfeiffer refers to this species the figure of Ferussac (t. 79, 

 fig. 7) referred to perspectiva by Binney. 



The species has been found also in Kansas, Wisconsin, 

 and the District of Columbia.
