 plannlate, the last rapidly increasing, t-qual at tiie aperture 

 to one-third the diameter of the shell, beneath flattened, and 

 little excavated in the umbilical region ; suture lightly im- 

 pressed ; aperture scarcely oblique, depressed, transverse, 

 lunate ; peristome simple, acute, sinuate, the columellar

Anantehely Mountains, North Carolina. 



In sculpture it is closely allied to Hyalina indenfata, of which 

 it might almost be termed a gigantic variety, but the impressed 

 striae are more numerous, and closer together. The form of the 

 aperture is very near that of Z. inornata.
