 nia, vol. 1, p. 15. [Ety. omphalm, um-

 guished from Euomphalus by having a 

 more prominent spire, in having its 

 whorls flattened or broadly concave 

 around the outer side, and flattened, with 

 an outward slope ; it is a more ponderous 

 shell, with a more oblique outline to 

 its lip, in consequence of which it pro- 

 jects much farther forward on the 

 upper than on the lower side of the 

 aperture. Type O. whitneyi.
