Length of the shell upwards of half an inch, brownish, spiral striae dis- 

 tinct ; a minute pillar cavity ; lid diverging, striated. The animal is brown- ^ 

 ish, with a long emarginate snout. Some details of anatomical structure are 

 given by Lister, Tab. Anat. iv. f. 1, 2, 3. 



53. C. suhcylindricum. — Whorls 4 to 5, cylindrical, sum- 

 mit obtuse, with numerous rounded transverse ridges.

 40 — On marsh plants. 

 Length of the shell a quarter of an inch ; colour brown, mouth ovate, pe- 

 ristome thick, pillar cavity indistinct : summit as if truncated, ending sud- 

 denly in a small smooth button-like whorl. The animal, according to Dra- 

 parnaud, lis white, transparent, with a long contractile snout : ten taenia 

 short, little acuminated ; eyes above the retral base of the tentacula ; foot 

 short ; lid thin, semioval, with bent striae. Dr Pultney found his on " water 

 plants in rivers and ponds." Draparnaud states, that it is found on the shores 

 of the Mediterranean, on the borders of marshes, on the earth among plants, 

 and even bunied in sand ; and expresses a suspicion that it may prove a ma- 

 rine shell. In 1 806 I found a specimen in the cavity of a dead Spatangus 

 purpureus from the Frith of Forth. This species is probably the " Bucci- 

 num exiguum rufum quinque orbium" of List. Conch. 22. f. 19. — Donovan, in 

 his Brit. Shells, t. Ixxx, figures this species, by mistake, for Pupa muscorum.
