Martens, 1. o. j the prolongation of the mantle, as well as the truncated ap- 
pearance of the hinder extremity of the foot, shows difterent degrees in differ- 
ent species. Figures of the living animals of JV. citrina, amphidrotua, java/na^

subgenera established or admitted by Albers are better removed from this 
genus; the subgenus Ari(yphanta contains true NanincBy but ought to be 
dissolved, as its distinctive character, the sinistrorsity of the shell, occurs in 
some species which in all other respects are very near to dextral ones. Jaws
