H. Testa minutd, orbiculato-depressd, umhllicatd ; aufractibus 4, convexis, suturis 

 depressis ; labri margine crasso, albo, reflexo ; mnbilico magno. 



Shell small, orbiculato -depressed, with about four volutions, finely marked with 

 lines of growth ; suture deep ; aperture subcircular ; peritreme thickened and 

 reflected ; a large and open umbilicus, showing the volutions within. 



Diameter, yo °f an mcn '•> elevation, half the diameter. 



Locality. Red Crag, Bawdsey. Recent, Britain 



The only specimen of this species in my cabinet was found in loose and dis- 

 turbed Crag ; it is, however, deeply tinged with the hydrous oxide of iron, having 

 all the appearance of a genuine Crag shell ; and as it is very abundant in the fluvia- 

 tile deposits of Stutton and Clacton, it was in all probability a living species during 

 the Red Crag period.

H. Testa subglobosd, perforata, laevigata {?) ; spird obtusd ; anfractibus quinque, 

 subcarinatis ; aperturd oblique semiltmari, labri margine reflexo ; mnbilico oblecto. 



Shell subglobose and perforated ; smooth (?), with a short conoidal spire; volu- 

 tions five, slightly convex above, and rather compressed beneath, very obtusely 

 carinate ; margin reflected, covering the umbilicus.

Locality. Mam. Crag, Southwold. Recent, Britain. 



The specimen figured is from the cabinet of Mr. Lyell, and is the only one I have 

 seen. I have assigned it to the well-known recent species, although it is considerably 

 altered in appearance, and differs from the general form of that shell in being more 

 depressed, and in the obtusely or rounded carinated form of the volutions. I have, 

 however, some recent specimens as much depressed, and some which, in the young 

 state, show a carinated form of volution. It somewhat resembles H. Turonensis, but 

 that species is generally much larger, and the peristome of our shell is never so much
