FAMILY HELICID^E 23

 to the Amur ; Madeira ; the Azores ; eastern North America from 

 Manitoba to Florida and Montana to Nova Scotia.

 (Richardson). Introduced? in California. 



Although Risso's figure of V. rosalia represents a perfectly smooth 

 shell, his diagnosis calls for one with elevated lamellae ; it is probable 

 therefore that he regarded the present species and V. costata as varie- 

 ties of a single species. 



Vallonia costata Muller.

This species has been so constantly confused with the other costate 

 species and with V. pulchella that it is hardly practicable to determine 

 its true range from the literature.
