from each other. 
Aperture round, entire. 
Specific Character , (Sc. 
Yellowish-brown CORNUCOPIA, with longi¬ 
tudinal brown bands. 
Snail CORNUCOPIA. 
The very rare shell exhibited in its natural size 
on the present plate is described and figured by Ba¬ 
ron Born in his work on the Testacea of the Impe¬ 
rial Museum at Vienna. In its general appearance 
it makes an extremely near approach to the genera 
of Helix and Turbo; agreeing most in habit with 
the former, and in the shape of its mouth or open¬ 
ing with the latter; but differs from both in the 
produced and unconnected disposition of its spires. 
Its native country is unknown.
