EASTERN PROVINCE INTERIOR REGION SPECIES. 219 



Anaiitehely Mountains, North Carolina; Eastern Tennessee; Bridge- 

 port, Ala. Formerly considered a species of the Cumberland Subre- 

 gion, but recently collected by Mr. Hemphill in Texas, it may be rather 

 considered one of the Southern Province species. 



In sculpture it is closely allied to Z. indentatws, of which it might 

 almost be termed a gigantic variety, but tlie impressed striiie are more 

 numerous and closer together. The form of the aperture is very near 

 that of Z. inornatus. 



The general aspect of this shell reminds one of the Asiatic group, to 

 which Selix resple^idens, Phil., and H. vitrmoides, Desh., belong. 



Animal long, slender, dirty-white, bluish on head and eye-peduncles; 

 a distinct locomotive disk, and furrows alongside of foot, meeting over 

 a mucus pore ; tail often recurved at tip, and bearing generally a drop 

 of mucus on it; eye-peduncles, long, slender. 



Jaw as usual in the genus. 



Z. sculptilis (Terr. Moll., V, Plate II, Fig. P) has 40-1-40 teeth on its 

 lingual membrane, with 4 perfect laterals. 



Genitalia unobserved. 



Zonites EUiotti. Redfielix 



Shell with rather a narrow umbilicus, depressed-orbiculate, with fine 

 transverse strife, greenish horn-colored, hardly translucent, ^10^232.

 the ajierture ; suture deeply impressed; aperture very oblique,

Mountains of Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, and Wayne 

 County, West Virginia. It is a species of the Cumberland Subregion. 



Animal with a distinct caudal mucus pore, locomotive disk, and lon- 

 gitudinal furrows above the margin of the foot. It is therefore a true 

 Zonites.
