H. PROFUNDA. — Plate SY, %. 3. As in Journ. Acad. My 
description of this shell was published in the year 1821. Lamark’s 
description of H. Richardi did not appear until April, 1822, hut 
he quotes, by anticipation, Ferussac, Hist, des Mollusqu'es, No. 174, 
for the specific name, which was, however, not then published in 
that work, but appeared in the Tableau Systematique of the latter 
author in the earlier part of the same year. The name of ]}ro- 
funda has therefore the priority, and consequently must he 
adopted.

It seems probable that Helix irrorata is a variety of H.

Helix lucubrata. — Shell subglobose, depressed, reddish 
brown, polished, subtranshicent ; whorls over four, much wrin- 
kled ; spire much depressed, convex ; suture moderate ; beneath 
paler ; umbilicus open, rather large ; aperture nearly orbicular ; 
labrum simple. 
Greatest width one inch. Inhabits Mexico. Closely allied to 
H. inornata. Nob., but the umbilicus is much larger, and the 
aperture is more accurately rounded ; the color is nearly the same, 
excepting that in the present it is of a deeper shade.
