common in the rivers [!], and a species of Clausilia to be very abundant in the 
province of Bio Janeiro [probably Hiilimus janeirensis, Sow., or some other 
species of the section Odontostomus is meant] ; Limax, several terrestrial 
species of which are said to live in Brazil, is placed with the bivalves near 
Pecten, being confounded with Lima.
