44 LIMNEA BULIMOIDES. 



I inadvertently neglected to have the Caro- 

 lina shell (constituting the original humilis) 

 figured in full; which I regret, because the Sus-

 desidiosa in this character. This leads me to 

 doubt whether they may not eventually merge 

 into the last named species, as a short, ventri- 

 cose variety.
