ZONITES.

crn Ponnsylvania, North Carolina (al least as far as Cioldsboro'), Georgia, Ala- 

 bama to the (iulf of Mexico, and Arkansas. 



Animal light slate or smoky whit(^, dark blue on head, eye-peduncles, and 

 tentacles; tuberosities on back few and large; a line of furrows runs along the 

 side of the foot, and rising on the tail nuH'ts that of the opposite side above a 

 ■well-marked mucus ])orc. The sides, labia-like, of the pore are prominent and 

 swollen. The j)ore opens and shuts, and freely exudes mucus. 



Jaw as usual in the genus. 



Z. demissus (PI. 11. Fig. O) has 45 — 1 — 45 teeth, with 15 laterals. My spe- 

 cimen was one of the large East Tennessee form, called Z. acerrus by Dr. 

 Lewis (Proc. Ac. N. Sc. Phila. 1872, 110). The typical 

 form from near Mobile has, however, a perfectly similar den- 

 tition. 



The genitalia are like those of Z. intertextus, Binney, fig- 

 ured by Dr. Leidy in Vol. I. The accessory glands of the 

 dart sac are rather shorter in demissus. 



The large form referred to as Z. acerrus above, is here 

 figured. Its greater diameter is 20 mill.; height, 8 mill. It has over 7 

 whorls. From Eastern Tennessee.
