 of Alb. , ed. 2.

Bulimus vermetus, Anthony, is unknown to me, nor during my intimate acquaintance 

 with him, lasting for many years, could he ever give me any information about 

 it. He thus describes it (cover of Haldemau's Monograph, No. 3, July, 1841): 

 Shell turriculated, livid brown ; whorls 5, striated longitudinally ; suture 

 deeply indented ; apex entire ; body-whorl a little more than equal to the 

 spire ; spire two and a half times the length of the aperture ; length 3, width 

 1^ lines ; aperture obliquely ovate ; length of the aperture equal to the width 

 of the body-whorl. Ohio, near Cincinnati. 



Distinguished by its peculiar mouth, which is curved in a regular curve 

 from right to left, contracted at the upper angle and spreading below; the 

 whorls are also very deeply indented, and twisted as they are in Succinea 

 vermtfa. 



Bulimus Mexicnnus, Lamarck, and 



Bulimus Humboldti, Reeve, have been doubtfully referred to Mazatlan and are ex- 

 tralimital to our work. 



Bulimus Laureniii, Sowerby', Sitka, is, I presume, from Sitcha, San Salvador, not from 

 the northwest coast (see Terr. Moll. U. S., iv, 25).
