H. INTROFERENS, Bland. PI. 30, figs. 96-98. 



Thm, with rib-like strips, yellowish horn color, whorls 5-6, some- 

 what rounded, the last descending, constricted behind the lip, with 

 exterior pits marking the position of the teeth, periphery subangular; 

 parietal tooth oblique, lamelliform, basal lip tooth submarginal with 

 a strong white tubercle behind it, upper lip tooth transverse ; base 

 convex, grooved within the open umbilicus. Diam. 11-15 mill. 



North Carolina, Philadelphia, Pa. (small form). 



Distinguished by its narrow, grooved umbilicus and tubercular 

 basal tooth. 



H. VAN NOSTRANDI, Bland. PL 30, fig. 99. 



More decidedly costate, more convex at the base, with smaller 

 umbilicus and without the internal tubercle of H. introferens; but 

 may be only a variety of that species. Diam. 12'5 mill. 



Aiken, So. Carolina. 



H. LORICATA, Gould. PI. 30, figs. 5-8. 



Whorls 5, convex, thin, obliquely striate, fresh specimens hispid, 

 much contracted behind the lip, dark horn color; aperture trans- 

 versely trilobate, the very oblique parietal tooth quite small, the 

 two lip teeth scarcely distinct ; base very convex, umbilicus narrow 

 and deep, slightly contracted by the lip. Diam. 6-8 mill. 



California. 



H. Lecontei, Lea is a synonym. 



H. MULLAXI, Bland and Cooper. PL 30, figs. 9-12.

Oregon, Washington Terr. 



Mr. Binney formerly considered this indentical with H. devia, 

 Gould ; I agree with him that it is probably distinct, although they

H. SANBURNI, W. G. Binney. PL 38, figs. 100, 1. 



Narrowly umbilicated, thin, sparsely hirsute, scarcely striate,
