7. Lymnea Wilsonii, Tryou.— t. 2. f. 17. 



Description. — Shell sinistral, sub-fusiform, tliia ; spire elon- 

 gated, acute, suture deeply impressed ; whorls 6, convex, oblique, 

 rapidly increasing in size, the last narrowly oval ; aperture sub- 

 ovate, half the total length, narrow, columella a little twisted 

 and reflected, leaving a narrow, deep umbilicus. Light amber- 

 color. 



Dimensions. — Length 22 mill., diam. 10 mill. 



Habitat. — New Zealand. 



My Cabinet. Cabinet of the Academy of Natural Sciences, 

 Philadelphia. 



Observations. — This is one of the finest of the few sinistral 

 species. It may be compared with L. Timorensis, but that is 

 a heavier species, more rugose, with the spire more obtuse, 

 and not so convex. 



Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Thomas B. 

 Wilson.
