GLANDINA. 299 



Geographical Distribution. Obtained by the Rev. 

 E. R. Beadle in Louisiana, in tbe region of New Orleans. 



Remarks. This species differs from G. truncata in 

 its extreme tenuity and transparency, which is not in 

 consequence of immaturity, Jig is shown by the callus on 

 the pillar lip ; it is much more inflated, the spire propor- 

 tionally shorter, slightly modified by the suture, and 

 with two whorls less ; the pillar is much less arched than 

 in (?. truncata, where it actually curves to the right and 

 forms an extensive sinus on the pillar margin : the stria- 

 tion, also, is twice as fine, and the coloration is much 

 paler. Quite a large number of specimens, obtained at 

 different times, have been examined, all of which agree 

 in their characters. — [g.]
