  Remarks. 
  — 
  The 
  fine 
  reddish-brown 
  ground 
  and 
  intensely 
  dark 
  band 
  

   distinguish 
  this 
  fine 
  Helix. 
  In 
  my 
  specimen, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  one 
  I 
  

   have 
  seen, 
  the 
  inferior 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  band 
  has, 
  adjoining 
  it, 
  an 
  obscure 
  

   band, 
  of 
  a 
  tint 
  somewhat 
  lighter 
  than 
  the 
  ground. 
  It 
  should 
  be 
  ob- 
  

   served, 
  that 
  when 
  other 
  specimens 
  may 
  be 
  examined, 
  the 
  bands 
  may 
  

   not 
  prove 
  so 
  regular 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  specimen. 
  Around 
  the 
  umbili- 
  

   cus 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  more 
  pale.

  Remarks. 
  — 
  Among 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  fine 
  shells 
  taken 
  by 
  Mr 
  Wood, 
  who 
  

   devoted 
  himself 
  much 
  to 
  natural 
  history 
  during 
  some 
  years' 
  residence 
  

   in 
  China, 
  was 
  this 
  species 
  and 
  the 
  globula 
  herein 
  described, 
  both 
  from 
  

   the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Canton. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  brown 
  

   band, 
  its 
  round 
  aperture 
  and 
  enlarged 
  umbilicus.
