BITLTMUS.— Plate LIT. 



be observed that the shell grows to a more acuminated 

 point than in the specimen here represented, which has 

 the first whorls broken off. 



This shell, distinjjuished by Lamarck as having a re- 

 flected lip, has been confounded with the Helix calcarea of 

 Born, an examination of whose figure will show that it 

 represents a worn specimen of Sp. S-tS, deprived of its 

 epidenuis.
