This is the finest Northern species we liave. Say, 

 describes the lip as being white. This is the case with 

 specimens from other states. The rosy lip is a pecul- 

 iarity of our species. I invariably find them living- 

 alone, slightl}^ burrowed in the ground— and seeming 

 to prefer a greensward opening to a shelter beneath 

 logs, etc. My best specimens are from the vicinity of 

 Indian Creek, near Fox river. 



HELIX l-K.A.-VSVI.VAi^ICA, Gukkn. 



Shell elevated, whirls six, white crowded and oblique 

 stria), umbilicus closed, aperture triangular, somewhat 

 cpntracted, lip white, reflected, a little tliickened near 

 the base, color chestnut, greatest dia.17 mill. Abundant. 



A beautiful species and large. One peculiarity 

 attracted my attention ; namely, I have always found 

 them solitary, each in its own little burrow which is 

 very nicely excavated to the depth of from two to three 

 inches, and on j> high blue-grass plateau near the Fox 

 river, where there are very few trees or debris. In fact 

 they seem to avoid the usual retreat of other species- 

 fallen trees, etc. The size and rich coloring of the shell 

 is also noticeable.
