A very abundant species, much more numerous than the pre- 

 ceding in this region. It has certainly a general resemblance to 

 the albolnbris, but it is smaller, always umbilicated ; the labrum, 

 near its junction with the penultimate whorl is not so flatly 

 reflected, and the tooth of the labrum is very conspicuous. It 

 belongs to Montfort's genus Cepolis, plate 13.

When in the Sea Islands of Georgia and Florida with Mr. 

 Maclure, we found this species in great abundance in marshy dis- 

 tricts immediately behind the sand hills of the coast. In Florida 

 they also occurred on elevated mounds of oyster shells, called 

 hammocks, and generally in such situations as are tenanted by 

 Succinea cnmpestris, JVob. On these elevations they were gene- 

 rally small, translucent, and of a fragile consistence, and we 

 observed that they obtained their greatest development only in
