Bemarks. — In form and size this resembles the B. lactea, herein 

 described, but may be distinguished at once by its colour, its umbilicus, 

 and the absence of a band. Owing, apparently, to the roughness of 

 the epidermis, its surface is scarcely shining. I owe this shell to the 

 kindness of Mr Peale.

Remarks. — While I had several specimens of this species from my 

 brother, T. G. Lea, holding them somewhat in doubt as to their being 

 distinct from H. ligera (Say), I received several fine specimens from 

 Dr Ward, w^ho informed me that "the inhabitant is differently marked 

 from /tgem." He says, "the base of the foot is white, posteriorly 

 acute. Body white, with blackish brown spots over it, and one large 

 and two smaller black longitudinal bands extending from the neck to 

 the end of the body."
