AND DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 121 



Hab. West Tennessee, John Lea. 



My Cabinet. 

 Uiam. -5, Length 1*5 inches. 



Remarks This fine Melania seems most to resemble the subidaris 



(Nobis). It differs from it in being wider, in being darker coloured, 

 and in having a less number of whirls. The bands in some specimens 

 are scarcely visible. 



1 cannot terminate this memoir without making my grateful ac- 

 knowledgements to numerous friends for specimens sent from time to 

 time for my examination or acceptance. To P. H. Nickliu, Esq. 

 and to W. Cooper, Esq. I am under particular obligations, for their 

 kind and prompt assistance on such difficult points as appeared to me 

 to require consultation.
