THE LAND SNAILS OF NEW ENGLAND. 151 
Western, South-western, and Atlantic States, with the ex- 
ception of New England, as far south as South Carolina. 
Herx monopon Rackett. (Figs. 12, 13.) Shell light 
russet in color; whorls five or six, closely revolv- Fiss. 12,13. 
ing; aperture flattened, contracted by a deep Æ 75 
groove behind the lip. The lip is narrow, and 
turned back, partially or wholly covering the um- 
bilicus. On the inner lip there is a long white 
tooth at the aperture, and within the aperture, projecting 
from the umbilicus, a shelly partition called the fulcrum. 
The shell is covered with numerous minute hairy projec- 
tions, which give the surface a velvety appearance. The 
diameter of the shell is usually three-eighths of an inch. 
Animal yellowish-brown, darker on the head and back. 
In some parts of New England this species is quite com- 
mon. Found in forests sad also on hill-sides in pastures, 
under bits of bark and stones, a situation in which it is 
unusual for other snails to occur. Two or three individ- 
uals are generally found together. 
HIRSUTA Say. (igs 14,15.) Shell nearly glob- 
ular, brownish in color, covered by numerous — 
rigid hairs. Aperture contracted, and nearly E 
closed by a long narrow tooth on the body whorl; Ya 
lip narrow, turned against the outer whorl. On g 
the inner margin of the outer lip, at the base of “W 
the aperture, is a deep notch. Ordinary diameter one- 
quarter of an inch; umbilicus closed. Animal whitish, 
head and tentacles slate colored. In the New England 
States this species has been found west of the Connecticut 
River, though not common. It is common in the Middle 
and Western States. — To be continued.
