Dr. Beck and some other authors have considered this as a 

 maiine species, but hardly on sufficient evidence. Many terres- 

 trial shells are washed dowTi by the rivers into the sea, and are 

 often found on the coast with zoophytes parasitic on them ; they 

 have, for this reason, formed it iuto a genus, under the names of 

 Halia and Priamus.
