Species 332. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Melania Hallenbeckii. Mel. testa ovato-turritd, ful- 

 vo-olivaced, viridi-nigricante trifasciatd, anfractibus 

 sex ad septem, snperne subacute declivibus, concentric^ 

 tenniplicatis, plicis ad angulum nodosis ; aperturd ova- 

 td, ad basin effuso-productd. 



Hallenbeck's Melania. Shell ovately turreted, ful- 

 vous-olive, encircled with three greenish-black bands, 

 whorls six to seven, rather sharply sloping round the 

 upper part, concentrically finely plicated, plaits no- 

 duled on the angle ; aperture ovate, effusely produced 

 at the base. 



Lea, MS. in Mus. Cuming. 



Hab. United States. 



A rather striking species, with the whorls sloping round 

 the upper part, and plaited on the slope, the plaits being 

 noduled upon the angle at the end. 



Species 333. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Melania carino-costata. Mel. testa ovatd, abbrevialo- 

 turritd, olivaced, anfractibus paucis, declivi-convexis, 

 in/erne carinatis, supra carinam longitudinaliter con- 

 ceutrice carino-coslatis ; aperturd ovatd, ad basin ap- 

 presse effusd. 

 The keel-ribbed Melania. Shell ovate, shortly tur- 

 reted, olive, whorls few, slopingly convex, keeled 

 round the lower part, longitudinally concentrically 

 keel-ribbed above the keel ; aperture ovate, appressly 

 effused at the base. 



Lea, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. vol. x. p. 62. pi. 9. f. 40. 

 Hab. Alabama, United States. 



The peculiarity of this species consists in the whorls be- 

 ing longitudinally finely ribbed in concentric order, the 

 ribs not extending to the suture, but terminating suddenly 

 upon a transverse keel. 



Species 334. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Melania Floridensis. Mel. testa subpyramidali-tur- 

 ritd, nigricante-olivaced, anfractibus septem ad novem, 

 late declivibus, deinde subangidatis, longitudinaliter 

 indistincte plicatis, I iris tenuibus nodulat'is undiquefu- 

 niculatis ; aperturd ovatd, parviusculd, ad basin sub- 

 effusd. 



The Florida Melania. Shell somewhat pyramidally 

 turreted, blackish-olive, whorls seven to nine, broadly 

 sloping, then slightly angled, longitudinally indis- 

 tinctly plaited, corded throughout with fine noduled 

 ridges ; aperture ovate, a little effused at the base. 



Hab. Florida. 



Sculptured throughout with fine corded ridges, which 

 are noduled on crossing the rather obscure longitudinal 

 plaits. 



Species 335. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Melania Ocoeensis. Mel. testa cylindraceo-subulatd, 

 plerumque decollatd, solidiuscidd, olivaced, anfractibus 

 convexis, lavibus, superne rude marginatis ; aperturd 

 ovatd, parviusculd. 



The Ocoee Melania. Shell cylindrically subulate, ge- 

 nerally decollated, rather solid, olive, whorls convex, 

 smooth, rudely margined round the upper part ; aper- 

 ture ovate, rather small.
