..1 section of that p'liiis. t'fririi/n.< is, however. a mere syno- 

 nym for AY///.*/, which Brown propu-rd as a snh-tihite for his 

 earlier name. 



The genUB diflen from l;,tn.<,< in pOMening a radula, intheab- 

 B6D06 of stomach plates, etc. The shell is more globose and fragile 

 than in l!<-tn.<ni or Oylichna, with a larirer nnil>iliciis, thin colium-lla 

 aiul without distinct sculpture. The lack of epipodial lobes and of 

 uncini also distinguishes this genus.

Slu-11 thin, fragile and somewhat transparent, light brownish 

 corneous, irregularly ovate, broadly globose below, narrow and sub- 

 angular above. Apex large, globose, obliquely and mamillarly pro- 

 jecting ; subsequent whorls 2], the inner very narrow; convex, 

 planorboid, separated by deep sutures, the latter part of the last 

 whorl somewhat descending. Body-whorl compressed above, swollen 

 below, very lightly sculptured with indistinct growth-lines. Aper- 

 ture nearly as long as the shell, narrow and biangular above, broadly 

 rounded below; outer lip thin and sinuous: columella long and 

 nearly straight, not thickened, the edge somewhat reflexed above, 

 partly closing the narrow umbilicus.

I have retained this species separate from D. hyalina because in 

 the specimens before me the apex projects as in D. se<j vhich 



docs not seem to be the case with Scandinavian specimens of 

 Kyalina.
