9. Henix ceiiaria, Mill. 
In the north only. 
10. Hexix sesusitica, Roth. : 
Near Jerusalem, Sarepta, and Nazareth. Easily distinguishable 
from H. sancta by its less regular and less delicate striation, and by 
its much larger umbilicus—and from the following species by its 
rounded umbilicus and the less rapid increase of its whorls. 
11. Hevrx #aquata, Mouss. 
Only in the north, near the coast. 
12. Hexiix cAMELINA, Bourg. 
Near Nazareth, Jericho, and Jerusalem. 
13. HeLrx HIEROSOLYMITANA, Bourg. 
Not uncommon close to Jerusalem; not met with elsewhere. 
14. Hexrx putcueuia, Mill. 
We found a single specimen of this worldwide species under a 
stone in the plain of Acre. 
15. Hexrx conspurcata, Drap. 
On the coast near Sidon. 
16. Hexrx ERDELI, Roth. (=H. flavida, Rossm. ’) 
Near Jerusalem. 
17. Hewix syriaca, Ehrenb. 
One of the most abundant shells in every part of the country. 
18. Hexrx oLiviert, Fér. 
Very common everywhere. 
19. HEeLIx CARMELITA, Nn. sp. 
T. imperforata, depressa, flavida, vix pellucida, nitida, regula- 
riter et pulcherrime striata; anfract. 6, convexi, lente accres- 
centes, sutura profunda, ultimus ad aperturam deflecus ; aper- 
tura compressa, obliqua, lunaris ; perist. reflexo, flavido, intus 
albescente, densato ; basi rotundata. 
Diam. maj. 8, min. 7, alt. 4 mill. 
Two adult and several young specimens of this very distinct and 
pretty little shell were collected by us on Mount Carmel. It seems 
to bear no affinity to any other species in the country ; but is some- 
what like H. partita, Pfr., from Ceylon, which, however, is umbi- 
licated. 
20. HELiIx BERYTENSIS, Fér. 
Generally distributed in small numbers through the country.
