Shell small, orbicular, depressed, concave beneath, thin, pellucid, 

 smooth, and glistening ; whorls five, slightly convex, with minute, 

 almost imperceptiltle lines of growth, otherwise highly-pol- 

 ished : color light greenish, horn colored above, drab colored '"' 

 beneath, or milky-white. Aperture rounded, but broader 

 than high ; lip simple, very thin and sharp : base elegantly 

 rounding into a rather large and deep umbilicus. Diam- 

 eter rather less than half an inch. 



Animal has its upper surface light indigo-blue, darkest 

 on the head, neck, and eye-peduncles, collar greenish, eyes 

 black ; foot narrow and slender, not much exceeding in length the 

 diameter of the shell, and terminating acutely. 



Found in gardens, damp cellars, about cisterns, and similar moist 

 and fertile localities. 



This species is common in damp cellars in Boston, and was no- 

 ticed during 1862 in Providence, Salem, Lynn, Marblehead, Port- 

 land, and Halifax. Linsley includes it in his list of Connecticut 

 shells. In 186-1 it was fomid at Astoria, Long Island, New York.
