| Proposed by Mr. Brot, because Ixvigata is preoccupied in Melania; but that name rnut-t 

 Stand, as it is not preoccupied in Goniolasia. 



JThe shells included in the above extensive synonymy present gome variation in form and co- 

 loration, but in an e>aminatii>n of several thousand specimens I was unnble to separate the co- 

 called species Batisfartrrily. G. semicarinata, Say, is the young shell, which, when old, varies in 

 form, being narrow in avgvstirpira and escilis, and broader in the other synonyms. The specie* 

 inhabits an extensive range of country.
