H. CUMBERLANDIANA, Lea. PI. 10, figs. 49-51.

 Interior United States ; valleys of the Mississippi 



Eiver and its northern tributaries. 



The variations include light-colored specimens, without bands, 

 and dark specimens caused by the widening and diffusion of the 

 bands over the entire surface. H. Kochi, Pfr. (fig. 55), may be 

 considered a synonym.

 liquely striate, lightl}- decussated by close spiral striae, opaque,
