Locality. Sconce (Hdwards). 
This is another fossil from that rich locality in the Isle of Wight in Mr. Edwards’s 
Collection. I have adopted the specific name which he has given toit. As to the genus 
it does not from its shape strictly deserve the name of Budimus, and I have therefore 
referred it only provisionally to that genus ; indeed, so close do some of the so-called 
Cyclostome approach other shells called Bu/imi that it is difficult to draw a satisfactory 
line between them. ‘The nearest resemblance to this shell known to me is Bulimus 
turgidulus, Desh., ‘ An. sans Vert. du Bas. de Par.,’ t. xi, p. 833, pl. liv, figs. 25—27 ; 
but judging from the figure and description of that species, it is, I think, quite distinct. 
Genus 11th.—Svuccinza. Draparnaud, 1801.

A very perfect specimen of a species of Succinea is in Mr. Edwards's Cabinet, of 
which the figure as above referred to is a representation. It has somewhat the appear- 
ance of a recent specimen from its perfection, but seems to want the amber-coloured 
tinge of the common living shell. So little difference is shown among the so-called 
species of this genus that it becomes a matter of extreme difficulty to distinguish them ; 
I give it, however, as a fossil from its being in Mr. Edwards’s Collection and marked from 
Headon Hill, but I cannot warrant its genuineness. The specific name of gracilis is 
attached to Mr. Edwards’s specimen, and I would have adopted it, but this name has been
