NEW FRESH WATER AND LAND SHELLS. 5 
SuccinEA CANDEANA. 
Testa obliquo-ovatd, subnitidd, obsolete varicosd, diaphand, rosed; spird brevi; suturis subimpressis; anfractibus ter- 
nis, inflatis; aperturd lato-ovatd. 
Shell obliquely ovate, somewhat shining, obsoletely varicose, diaphanous, rose colour ; spire short; sutures impressed ; 
whorls three, inflated; aperture wide-ovate. 
Hab. Martinique. Lieut. Cande. My Cabinet and Cabinet of M. Candé, Paris, Diam. .58, Length 
85 of an inch. 
Remarks.—Lieut. Candé, of the French navy, was kind enough, a few years since, to 
give me, among many interesting shells, collected in the Island of Martinique, several 
specimens of this Swccinea, which I name after him. I am not aware that it has else- 
where been noticed. In form and size it resembles S. obliqua, (Say.) Itis, however, larger, 
has the sutures less impressed, of a redder colour, and in its varicose markings entirely 
differs. It has some resemblance to that species figured by Ferussac, pl. IT. A. fig.'7, but 
it is more inflated, and the spire is much more obtuse. 
SuccINEA FULGENS. 
Testa obliquo-ovatd, fulgens, diaphand, striatd, aured; spird subelevatd; suturis impressis; anfractibus ternis, con- 
veuis; aperturd lato-ovata. 
Shell obliquely ovate, brilliant, diaphanous, striate, golden colour; spire rather elevated; sutures impressed; whorls three, 
convex; aperture wide-ovate, 
Hab. Cuba, M, Poey. My Cabinet. Diam. -30, Length .45 of an inch, 
Remarks.—Among other land shells received some years since from Mr. Poey, who 
had under his charge the Botanic Garden of Havana, I received a single specimen of 
Succinea which does not appear to me to have been described. In form it somewhat re- 
sembles the ovalis, (Say,) but differs in size and colour. In its brilliant colour it is allied 
to S. aurea herein described. It is, however, less brilliant, more inflated, and quite double 
the size. The aperture is about two-thirds the length of the shell, and the apex takes a 
reddish hue. 
SuccineA OREGONENSIS. 
Testa obliqua, tenui, rugoso-striatd, rufa, subdiaphand; spird exsertd; suturis valde impressis; anfractibus ternis, 
inflatis; apertura magna, lato-ovatd. 
Shell oblique, thin, rugosely striate, reddish, subdiaphanous; spire exserted; sutures much impressed; whorls three, 
inflated ; aperture large, wide-ovate, 
Hab. Oregon. Prof, Nuttall. My Cabinet, and Cabinets of Prof. Nuttall, and Dr, Jay. Diam. .15, 
Length .30 of an inch. 
Remarks.—A single specimen only of this small species was given to me by Mr. Nut- 
tall. It nearly answers to Mr. Say’s description of S. avara, but differs in size, colour 
and form from that usually received as his species. The spire is elevated for a Succinea, 
and curls somewhat like a worm, The aperture is a good deal rounded, and is about two- 
thirds the length of the shell. 
SUCCINEA INFLATA. 
Testa subrotundd, inflata, tenui, lacted; spird brevi; suturis subimpressis; anfractibus ternis, rotundatis; aperturd 
lato-ovatd. 
Shell subrotund, inflated, thin, milk-white; spire short; sutures impressed; whorls three, rounded; aperture wide- 
ovate, 
Mab. South Carolina, Prof. Rayenel. My Cabinet, and Cabinet of Prof, Ravenel. Diam, .30
