Hati on the Ohio, and at Engineer Cantonment at Council Bluff, 
on the Missouri, 
Besides the above species, I have observed in the western 
regions the following known species, which I described in the 
American edition of Nicholson’s Encyclopaedia, and in the Journal 
of the Academy. 
H. ALBOLABRis. — Common as far as Council Bluff. 
H. THYROiDus. — On the banks of the Ohio, Mississippi and 
Missouri. The animal is of a pale whitish or yellowish color, 
immaculate. 
H. ALTERNATA. — Oil the banks of the Ohio, Mississippi and 
Missouri Rivers ; this species varies in being somewhat larger, and 
in having a rather more elevated spire. The animal is of a dirty 
yellowish orange color. The foot obtusely terminated behind, 
head and tentacula pale bluish, eyes blackish. Shell nine-tenths 
of an inch in breadth. 
H. HiRSUTA. — Common as far as Council Bluff. 
H. LABYRINTHICA. “ “ “ 
H. MINUTA. “ “ “ 
H. PERSPECTivA. — Occasionally occurs on the banks of the 
Missouri, and other western streams, and in some parts com- 
mon. 
PoLYGYRA PLicATA. — Shell convcx beneath, depressed above, 
spire slightly elevated ; whorls five, com|)ressed, crossed by nu- 
merous raised, equidistant lines, which form grooves between 
them ; aperture subreniform, labrum reflected, regularly arquated 
describing two-thirds of a circle ; within two-toothed, teeth not 
separated by a remarkable sinus ; labrum with a profound dupli- 
cature, which terminates in an acute angle at the centre of the 
aperture ; beneath exhibiting only two volutions, of which the 
external one is slightly grooved near the suture. 
Inhabits Alabama. Breadth one-fourth of an inch. Cabinet of 
Academy. 
This species is about the same size as P. avara, but, besides 
other characters, it is sufficiently distinguished by the acute fold
