Long. 1 ; lat. -^ poll. Hab. Buried under leaves or in earth, 

 during the dry season, near the sea, Fishtown, Liberia. 



Closely approaches A. Hugeli, Pfeif., but is more slender, more 

 obtuse at apex, more coarsely and regularly striate, and -with fewer 

 whorls. In numerous specimens of the animal preserved in spirits, 

 the young are plainly seen in the oviduct, already escaped from the 



egg- 

 Mr. Sowerby has also described a viviparous Bulimus (Malac. 

 Mag.) which Dr. Perkins also collected at Cape Palmas. 



Amnicola ciliata. T. parva, elongata, imperforate, fusco- 

 viridi ; spira acuto-conica, anfr. 6 subangulatis ad angulum serie 

 aculearum recurvarum armatis, ultimo ad peripheriam acute cari- 

 nato ; apertura circulari, labro nigro. 



Long. 1 ; lat. 1 poll. Hab. Deea River, Liberia, on the muddy 

 margins. Dr. Perkins. 



A beautiful little species, grouping with a somewhat larger one 

 from New Zealand, described by me as Melanin corolla, and a smaller 

 one from Jamaica, found by Professor Adams, and named by him 

 M. spinifera. A further examination of the apertura and operculum, 

 and also the animal of the New Zealand species, satisfies me that 

 they ought all to come under the genus Amnicola.

 bosa, decollate, fusco-olivacea, fasciis numerosis saturatioribus cincta, 

 lineolis undulatis granulosis confertis insculpta ; spira elevata, anfr.

 tincta, fauce castaneo et albido fasciata ; operculo tenui.
