H. Testa minutci, orbiculato-depressd, nmhUicafd ; anfractihus 4, convexis, suturis 

 depressis ; labri margine crasso, albo, roflexo ; umbUico magna. 



Shell small, orbiculato-depressed, Mdth about four volutions, finely marked with 

 lines of growth ; suture deep ; aperture subcircular ; peritreme thickened and reflected; 

 a large and open umbilicus, showing the volutions within. 



Diameter, ^ of an inch ; elevation, half the diameter. 



Locality. Red Crag, Bawdsey. Recent, Britain. 



The only specimen of this species in my cabinet was found in loose and disturbed 

 Crag ; it is, however, deeply tinged w4th the hydrous oxide of iron, ha\ing all the 

 appearance of a genuine Crag shell ; and as it is very abundant in the fluviatile deposits 

 of Stutton and Clacton, it was in all probability a living species during the Red Crag 

 period.

The specimen figured is from the cabinet of Mr. Lyell, and is the only one I have 

 seen. I have assigned it to the well-known recent species, although it is considerablv 

 altered m appearance, and difi"ers from the general form of that shell in being more 

 depressed, and in the obtusely or roundedly carinated form of the volutions. I have, 

 however, some recent specimens as much depressed, and some which, in the youno- 

 state, show a carinated form of volution. It somewhat resembles H. Turonensis, but 

 that species is generally much larger, and the peristome of our shell is sever so much
