Pfeiffek's Helix. Shell slightly umbilicatcd, orhicularly 

 couvcx, solid, smooth, shining, slightly margined and 

 very finely plicated at the suture, livid chestnut, ful- 

 vous at the apex ; spire rather raised ; whorls six to 

 seven, convex, narrow, the last rather depressed be- 

 neath ; aperture rotundately lunar, lip simple, cal- 

 lously reflected at the columella.

Gkateloup's Helix. Shell narrowly unihilicated, semi- 

 globose, regularly and closely striated at the upper 

 part, irregularly decussated with spiral lines, pale livid 

 chestnut, obscurely white-bandt'<l, smooth beneath ; 

 whorls six, rather convex, the last rather flattened ut 

 the base ; suture slightly margined ; aperture lunar, 

 lip simple, sharp, reflected at the columella.

I'cculiorly tinged with livid chestnut-red about the upper 

 surface of the whorls. 



Fig. 1281. (Mus. Coming.) 



The shell here figured comes from Dr. Pfeiflfer as tin- 

 type of //. Ilirotii, and he proposes to name the shell al- 

 ready figured in Plate LX.WIII. Fig. 413, under that 

 title, Jl. erroiifa. The specifie difl'erence between them i» 

 slight, and, it may be, unimportant. In the present speci- 

 men the aperture is more hori/.ontal, and the lip more con- 

 spicuously reflected, and there i* a slight variation in the 

 general contour of the shell.

 solid, covered with a shining olivc-honty epidermis ; 

 spire concavcly flattened; whorls six, narrow, rounded; 

 aperture nearly circular, hori/.ontal, lip callous white, 

 very broadly reflected, margins apjiroximating.

Of the same peculiar type as II. liicolii, rounder and 



more regular in convolution, without any laminar ridge in 



the aperture.

Tue field Helix. Shell umbilicated, subglobosely de- 

 pressed, obliquely striated, decussated with spiral 

 stria?, greyish-white, interruptedly bandedand blotched 

 with light brown ; spire short, obtuse ; whorls four 

 to five, slightly eonvex, the last inflated, obliquely 

 produced, suddenly deflected in front ; aperture lunar 

 circular, broadly cxpandedly reflected, margins op- 

 proaehing by a callosity.
