Remarks. — Nearly a dozen of this species was mixed up with the UcheSnsis, herein 

 described. It is closely allied, but may be distinguished by the form of the aperture, 

 which is much more rhombic. It is also of a lighter color, and the outer lip is more 

 sinuous. The aperture is more than the length of the shell.

Testa earinata, sublusifomii, subtenui, virido-coraca vel rufb-cornea, obsolete vittata vcl evittata ; spira ob- 

 tuso-conoiclca ; suturis valde inipressis ; anfractibus septenis, convoxiusculis, ad apicern plicatis ; 

 apertura submagna, subrhomboidea, intus albidavel obsolete vittata; labro acuto, vix sinuoso ; colu-

Shell carinate, subfusiform, rather thin, greenish or reddish horn-color, obscurely 

 banded, or without bands; spire obtusely conical; sutures very much impressed; 

 whorls seven, slightly convex, folded at the apex ; aperture rather large, subrhomboi- 

 dal, whitish or obscurely banded within ; outer lip acute, scarcely sinuous ; columella

Remarlcs. — A number of specimens were sent to me by Dr. Barratt many years 

 since. In outline all the specimens are very much the same, but they differ in some 

 having the apicial whorls obscurely plicate, while others are only carinate. All the 

 specimens are carinate down to the last whorl. In very few specimens can the bands 

 be seen on the outside, but usually two bands are visible on the inside near the mid- 

 dle. In some specimens four bands are observable. Usually the four apicial whorls 

 are obscurely plicate. The aperture is more than one third the length of the shell. 

 It is nearly allied to Melania (Goniobasis) tenebrosa (nobis), but it is more slender, has 

 higher carina?, and is plicate. I dedicate this to the late Dr. Barratt, from whom I 

 have formerly received many interesting specimens of the mollusca of South Carolina 

 and Georgia.
