Species 61. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Virrina Asyssinica. Vitr. testd depresso-ovatd, pellucido- 
corned, spird parvd, subemersd, anfractibus declivi- 
converis, subventricosis, subelongato-productis ; aper- 
turd lunari-ovatd.

Hab. Abyssinia. 
A rather oblong, but still compressly ventricose species. 
Species 62. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Virrina Limpipa. Mitr. testa depressé semiglobosd, vi- 
rescente-vitred, spurd pared, vix emersd, suturd lineari- | 
impresst, anfractibus declivi-convexis ; apertura ob-

THE CLEAR Vrrrina. Shell depressly semiglobose, green- | 
ish glassy, spire small, but little emerged, suture | 
linearly impressed, whorls slopingly convex ; aperture 
obliquely linar-ovate. 
Goutp, Binney, Terr. Moll. U. 8. vol. ii. p. 58. 
Vitrina pellucida, var., Binney. 
Vitrina Americana, Pfeitter. 
Hab. United States. 
The shell, which we figure as a typical specimen of 
this United States species, is rather more obliquely convo- 
luted than /. pellucida, as stated by Pfeiffer when de- 
But Dr. Gould 
scribing it under the name /”, dmericana. 
argues that it is more globose in form. 
Species 63. (Mus. Cuming.) 
VITRINA PELLUCIDA. 
virescente-vitred, spirad parva, anfractibus declivi-ro- 
Vitr. testa depressée subglobosd, 
tundatis ; apertura oblique lunari-rotundatd. 
THE TRANSPARENT VirRINna. Shell depressly subglobose, 
vreenish glassy, spire small, whorls slopingly rounded; 
aperture obliquely lunar-rounded.

Hab. 
The only species known in this country, and the small- 
est of the genus. 
Species 64. (Mus. Cuming). 
Virrina inruara. Vitr. testd ovato-auriformi, lutescente- 
corned, parum nitidd, spird pared, vie emersd, an- 
fractibus convexis, inflatis, tenue arcuatim striatis ; 
apertura subampliter patente ovata. 
THE INFLATED Vrrrina. Shell ovately ear-shaped, yel- 
but little shining, spire small, scarcely 
emerged, whorls convex, inflated, thinly arcuately 
striated ; aperture rather largely openly ovate. 
Hab. Sydney. 
Notwithstanding the close affinity of many species of 
this form of Vitrina, Iam unable to refer the present to 
any previously described. It has a peculiarly inflated open- 
lowish horny, 
mouthed character. 
Species 65. (Mus. Cuming.) 
VITRINA PLANOSPIRA. Vitr. testd oblongo-ovali, postice 
lateraliter compressa, 
spird pared, planatd, anfractibus subventricosis, per- 
virescente-corned, pellucida, 
obliquis, arcuatim striatis, spiraliter obscure impresso- 
lineatis ; apertura oblique ovata. 
THE FLAT-sPIRE VirrtNa. Shell oblong-oval, posteriorly 
laterally compressed, greenish horny, transparent, 
spire small, flattened, whorls rather ventricose, very 
oblique, arcuately striated, spirally obscurely impressly 
lineated ; aperture obliquely ovate.
