Is of heavier texture and different color from S. Totteniana. 

 Mr. W. G. Binney considers this species doubtfully distinct 

 from S. Campestris. I think it is well distinguished.

 Oval, inflated, very thin, translucent, finely striate; spire

This shell, mentioned by Pfeiffer as a variety, appears to 

 me to be specifically distinct. Specimens exist in the magni- 

 ficent collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- 

 delphia, and for others I am indebted to Mr. Thomas Bland, 

 of New York.
