Mollusks
_H. Neritella._ The Nerite-shaped Helicina. Pl. 19, fig. 4.
Species yellowish white, finely striated, the edge reflected in a roll.
_H. striata._ The striated Helicina.
Globular, striated, the right edge sharp, but reflected; the umbilical
callosity rather thick, the operculum calcareous and solidified by a
marginal roll and a vertical crosspiece.
5. Pupa. Twenty-seven species.
These shells are generally very small, some not more than an eighth of
an inch in length; chiefly terrestrial.
Shell cylindrical, elongated, or sub-globular, ordinarily ventricose:
summit obtuse; the turns of the spire numerous, almost equal; aperture
round or oval, with margins almost equal, expanded, reflected; one or
two plaits on the columellar edge, and several teeth, varying in number
on the right margin.

P. umbilicata.
P. muscorum.
_P. Lyonetiana._ Lyonet’s Pupa. Pl. 18, fig. 5.
Species cylindrical, obtuse, aperture compressed and distorted by the
last whorl in its adult state making suddenly a gibbous inflection to
the left.
_P. muscorum._ The moss Pupa.
Species very small, oval or more or less spherical, obtuse, light
brownish colour; aperture large, with one tooth; volutions convex; outer
lip white and reflected.
_P. mumia._ The double-toothed Pupa. Pl. 19, fig. 2.
Species cylindrical, obtuse at both ends, aperture semi-ovate, with two
teeth.
6. Clausilia. Twelve species.
Remarkable for having the termination of the lower whorl quite detached
from the base of the shell.
Shell cylindrical, elongated, a little ventricose in the middle,
generally fusiform, summit obtuse, the last turn smaller than the
preceding; aperture small, irregular, oval; at least one plait,
posterior to the columella, increasing with age so as to be separated,
and forming at the posterior angle of the aperture a rounded sinus.
