This species is introduced to show that a form very closely 

 allied to our own shells, inhabits a far-distant locality. Probably 

 the intermediate country of Mexico contains undiscovered species 

 exhibiting the same characteristics. The spire is represented 

 vtoo much elevated in the figure.

Plate 9, figure 15. 



Shell globosely depressed, irregularly striate, shining, with a 

 'thin epidermis, covered with minute spiral lines and tubercles, 

 (the latter probably the scars of hairs) ; whorls 6, convex, much

 aperture trilobate, parietal tooth small, linguiform, lower lip 

 tooth lamelliform, upper one small, and sometimes obsolete; um-
