these two specimens is not thickened, but it is of a dark-brown colour, and being also

indistinct bands. In outline it is allied to M. fusiformis, (Nobis,) but they differ entirely 
in the columella and in the length of the aperture. The aperture is rather more than 
one-half the length of the shell. 
I have had some doubts of the Scioto being the real habitat of this shell; but Mr. 
Wheatley says it was sent from thence to him. It seems to have a more southern aspect.
