 Cantiana. H. with a fub-pellucid fliell, with much tl^.e habit of 



the preceding: it has the fame number of volutions, is 

 equally compreffed, but of a much fuperior fize, and 

 has not the fub-carinated edge, though a faint white 

 band is frequently to be traced on that part : tlie colour 

 too is lighter, with a blueifh, or lead-coloured tinge, on 

 the fuperior volutions, produced by the dark colour of 

 the animal; the bafe and round the mouth rufous. The 

 aperture is like that fliell, but the umbilicus is lefs in 

 proportion. Diameter at the bafe above three-quarters 

 of an inch; height half an inch. 



This is probably the fhell Doftor Lister mentions as 

 a variety of the //. rufefcens, which he fpeaks of as being 

 found in Kent, and fays it is larger, lighter coloured, 

 and with a fmaller umbilicus. There is no doubt, how- 

 ever, of its being a dilHnft fpecies, and very local, hav- 

 ing never obtained it from any part but Kent, where it 

 is found chiefly upon the chalky foil. 



We have received it from our much efteemed friend 

 Mr. Boys of Sandzoich, by the name rufefcens cantiana, 

 by which, we have been informed, it was known in the 

 Portland cabinet.
