HELIX. 889 



Inhabits New Zealand ; and is a land shell. Chemnitz. 



Shell an inch and three-quarters long, and three inches broad, 

 of a pale reddish yellow colour with a narrow white band 

 round the keel, and covered with a brown epidermis ; the 

 outer lip is white, and has a reflected margin. It appears from 

 the figures to possess some affinity with //. Ocu/ us- Capri, 

 but I am otherwise unacquainted with this shell. 



ocuLus-CAPRi. 7. Shell umbilicated, slightly keel- 

 ed, with the summit mucronated, and the 

 whirls convex and variegated ; aperture round- 

 ish and marginated.

 Shell about an inch and a quarter long, and an inch and a half 

 broad ; the spire is depressed, except at the summit, which 

 is somewhat mucronated, and the whirls are convex ; the 

 aperture is oblique, nearly circular, and slightly pointed at 

 its upper extremity ; the colour is chestnut variegated with 

 brownish yellow, and the base, as well as the aperture, is ge- 

 nerally brownish white ; the umbilicus is large and pervious. 

 The Variety is only about half as large, and has the summit 

 of its spire less produced. MuUer has retained the name of 

 Oculus-Capri for L'CEil de Bouc of Argenville, t. 6. f. E, 

 which is different, and appears to be H. Algira. H. Tur- 

 bo of Gmelin (which is Trochus Turbo of Chemnitz,) is not 

 sufficiently well defined; but appears from the figure to belong
