NEW FRESH WATER AND LAND SHELLS. 29 
Remarks.—Four individuals of this species are before me, and all of them have, though 
in a less degree, the remarkable pleurotomose character, described in the remarks on 
Melania excisa, page 25. 
The observations there made in regard to the genus, may in part be referred to for this 
shell. It might be supposed, that this cut could be caused by a fracture in the shell, or 
injury to the animal. But this is by no means the case. On the contrary, in one of the 
individuals where a fracture took place by the breaking off of the middle of the lip, this 
was subsequently replaced, and the curved edge reinstated as before. This species re- 
sembles in form Anculosa Foremant, herein described; but the spire is more exserted. All 
the four specimens have three brown bands more or less distinct, and the callus on the su- 
perior part of the columella is slightly maculate with brown. 'The aperture is about two- 
thirds the length of the shell. 
AwncuLosa ForEMANI. 
Testd levi, ovato-gibbosd, crassa, luted, transverse lineata; spird brevissimd; suturis impressis; anfractibus subpla- 
nulatis; columelld percrassd, aperturd submagnd, elliplicd, albidd. 
Shell smooth, ovately gibbous, thick, yellow, transversely lined; spire very short; sutures impressed; whorls somewhat 
flattened; columella very thick; aperture rather large, elliptical, whitish.

Remarks.—Two of the three specimens under examination have very distinct, capil- 
lary, revolving, deep brown lines between the top of the aperture and the base. Above 
that the space is nearly filled up with two indistinct, interrupted lines which give a cloud- 
ed appearance to that portion of the shell. ‘The third specimen is of a brighter yellow with 
all the lines nearly obliterated. In form this species very closely resembles An. flamma- 
ta herein described, but the capillary lines distinguish it at once, and the columella is 
thicker at the base. In all the three specimens a slight tinge of brown may be distin- 
guished on the middle of the columella. I dedicate the species to Dr. Foreman, who 
kindly placed a specimen in my cabinet. 
ANCULOSA SOLIDA. 
Testd levi, ellipticd, subcrassd, luteo-fuscd; spird exsertd; suturis impressis; anfractibus planulatis; columella in-

curvatd, superne et inferne incrassatd; aperturd elongata, ellipticd, albd. 
Shell smooth, elliptical, rather thick, yellowish brown; spire somewhat drawn out; sutures impressed; whorls flattened; 
columella incurved, thickened above and below; aperture elongated, elliptical, white.

Remarks.—Three specimens only were sent tome by Dr. Foreman. They differ very 
little from each other, except that one exhibits a few indistinct elevated revolving stria. 
Other specimens may present this character more strongly. Neither of the specimens 
have a perfect spire, the apices being eroded. The number of whorls I should think, 
Owever, were five. ‘I'he aperture seems to be rather more than half the length of the 
ech The columella is remarkable for its callus near the base as well as having another
