On a Land Shell new to Skandinavia. BY J. E. ZETTER- 



STEDT. 



This shell is the BuUmus montanns, Drap. The author 



slates that it is the same as Pupa placida, Say, a species which 



has never been identified by American conchologists. We 



think it not unlikelv that his surmise is a correct one.
