surface of the shell, but are more distinct on the superior part. The thickening of the 
line within the edge of the lip gives a white band on the outside. 
CarocoLLa E:DGARIANA. 
Testa supra subpland, subtus convexd, rufo-fuscd, enormiter striatd, imperforatd; spird brevi; suturis vix im- 
pressis; anfractibus quinis, planulatis; aperturd angustissimd; columella dentem unicum longum et laminatum ha- 
bente; labro incrassato, in medio incisso. 
Shell nearly flat above, beneath convex, reddish brown, irregularly striate, imperforate ; spire short; sutures scarcely 
impressed; whorls five, flattened; aperture very narrow; columella furnished with a long lamellar tooth; lip thickened, in 
the middle notched. 
Hab. Cumberland Mountains, Tennessee. S, M. Edgar. My Cabinet and Cabinets of Mr. Edgar 
and Dr. Troost. Diam. .40, Length .20 of an inch. 
Remarks.—Among a number of Helices taken by Mr. Edgar were three specimens of 
this species, which do not seem to have been before observed. The carinaissharp. The 
form of the aperture that of H. hirsuta, (Say,) except that the superior and thick part of the 
lip joins the tooth of the columella. On the surface of the shell there is no hirsute cha- 
racter. Several specimens of the Airsuta accompanied them, all of which presented their 
usual subglobose character. It differs from C. spinosa, (nobis,) in being smaller, less flat- 
tened, and being without the cilia. : 
Butimus JAYANUS. 
Testd ovato-conicd, crassd, supra albidd, subtus castaned, perforata; anfractibus senis, subconvexis; apertura ellip- 
ticd; labro reflexo, albo, margine lineato; columellé alba, levi: 
Shell ovately conical, thick, whitish above, chestnut colour below, perforate; whorls six, somewhat convex; aperture 
elliptical; lip reflected, white, margin lineate; columella white, smooth, 
Hab. Java? My Cabinet and Cabinet of Dr. Jay. Diam. .1, Length, 1.9 of an inch. 
Remarks.—This species was purchased of a dealer who informed me that it came from 
Java. It is remarkable for the distinct division of the colour on the middle of the lower 
whorl, the superior part being whitish with distinct longitudinal brown strie and spots 
below the sutures, which are very small. The perforation is very small, and around it the 
colour is lighter. The chestnut colour of the lower part is visible in the interior, and on the 
white lip forms a rather sharp angle. The brown line on the margin of the lip is very 
distinct. The apex is black, the aperture is nearly one-half the length of the shell. 
ACHATINA TURBINATA. 
Testa turbinatd, fuscd, supra obliquo- fasciata et maculata, striis minutis decussantibus; suluris impressis; anfrac- 
tibus octonis, convenis, infra suturas impressis; aperturd parva, ovata; columella incurvd. 
Shell turbinate, brownish, above obliquely banded and spotted, with minute decussate striw; sutures impressed; whorls 
eight, convex, impressed below the sutures; aperture small, ovate; columella incurved. 
Hab. Liberia. Dr. Blanding. My Cabinet and Cabinet of Dr. Blanding. Diam. 1 .4, Length 2.7 
inches. 
Remarks.—Among many shells procured from Liberia by Dr. Blanding were a few spe- 
cimens of this Achatina which I believe has not been described. It has some resem- 
blance to A. flammata, Cailliaud, but is a larger species. 'Those sent to me by that tra- 
veller, from Sennar, being very much exserted. The flammata from the south of Africa is
