simple, at its inferior extremity terminating at the centre of the 

 base of the shell ; umbilicus none, but the umbilical region deeply 

 indented. 



Breadth more than one tenth of an inch. 



This shell was found by Mr. John S. Phillips on the banks of the 

 Delaware River, about ten miles from Philadelphia. It is much 

 more elevated and not so broad as H. arborea Nobis ; the aper- 

 ture also is of a different shape. It is much broader than the 

 H. chersina Nob.

Remarks. I have not seen this shell. The fissure, which 

 is enlarged, is a fac-simile of that given by Reeve from 

 the Curningian Collection. The de.<cri})tion is Pfeiffor's. 

 He also remarks that the shell is hardly distinguished from 

 fulva Drap. by its more convex, subperl'orated base. It 

 is a Greenland species. 



Fabricius thus describes H. nitida, which is quoted as a 

 synonym : —
