 alogue. [Some of the species — Zonites Dutaillyanits, Mabille, and 

 Hydrobia Charpyi, Mab. — are probably only varieties or synonyms.]

 of a cornucopia-shaped Helix cispersa) pp. 242 — 246. 



A cornucopia-shaped H. aspersa had been picked up in a 

 vineyard, but had lost the top of its spire though careless carriage, 

 the animal having formed a partition at the top to exclude the air. 

 Gradually more and more of the spire was broken off, and new 

 partitions were formed. One day in taking up the mollusk it fell 

 out of its shell, was replaced in it, and is now as well as ever. A 

 portion of the liver had been removed when the shell was first 

 broken, and this was never renewed.
