On a Land Shell new to Skandinavia. BY J. E. zetter- 



STEDT. 



This shell is the Bulimns montamis, Drap. The author 



states that it is the same as Pvpa. placida. Say, a species which 



has never been identified by American conchologists. We 



think it not unlike! v that his surmise is a correct one.
