essentially by the much more elevated spire, and by the superior 
half of the dilated lip being abruptly narrowed so as to form a 
prominent angle near the middle. It is also a much thicker shell. 
H. INTERNA. — Shell yellowish red ; volutions six or eight ; 
whorls with regular, equidistant, elevated, obtuse lines across 
them, separated by regular grooves ; lines obsolete beneath j spire 
convex, little elevated ; aperture very straight, transverse, less 
than one half of the longitudinal diameter j labrum not reflected ; 
within, upon the side of the labrum, two prominent, lamelliform 
teeth, of which the superior one is largest, and neither of them 
attain the edge of the lip ; region of the base of the columella 
much indented ; umbilicus obsolete or wanting. 
Transverse diameter more than three-tenths. Height of the 
columella about three-twentieths of an inch. Inhabits Lower Mis- 
souri. 
Of two specimens which I obtained, the larger one had six 
volutions, and the smaller one had eight ; the superior tooth in the 
larger one was concave towards tj^e base of the shell. It is a 
remarkable and very distinct species. 
H. CHERSINA — Shell subglobose-conic, pale yellowish white, 
pellucid, convex beneath ; volutions about six, wrinkles not dis- 
tinct ; spire convex-elevated ; suture moderate ; body whorl 
slightly carinated on the middle mouth nearly transverse, un- 
armed, the two extremities nearly equal ; labrum simple umbilicus 
none. 
Inhabits the Sea Islands of Georgia. Breadth one-tenth of an 
inch. Cabinet of the Academy. 
A very small species. But one specimen occurred in a cotton 
field. It is rather larger than H. labyrinthica. 
II. GULARis. — Shell subglobose, pale yellowish horn color ;

volutions six or seven, with prominent, somewhat regular wrinkles; 
spire convex, a little elevated ; suture moderate ; labrum not re- 
flected ; throat far within upon the side of the labrum, bidentate ; 
teeth lamelliform, of which one is oblique and placed near the 
middle, and the other less elongated, placed near the base ; um- 
bilicus none. 
Breadth more than one-fourth of an inch. Inhabits Ohio and 
Pennsylvania.
