Locality. Claiborne, Alabama. Not uncommon. 
The labrum of this shell is generally broken, but when entire, it shows two 
very small teeth in addition to the one situated at the (termination of tle re- 
volving groove.

The labrum of the only specimen found is broken, but the shell so nearly 
resembles C. minaz, that it is confidently arranged in the same genus. 
On motion of Dr. Elwyn, it was fesolved, that the Secretary be
