A species of the Cumberland Subregion, having been received from the mountainous region of Tennessee (Jalapa, «&c.); from Whitley County, Kentucky ; from Lexington, Ya. I have also received it from the Hot Springs of Arkansas, proving that it has the southwestern range beyond this subregion noticed in many of its species. It is also quoted, but incorrectly, from Colorado by Ingersoll. Animal with distinct locomotive disk, longitudinal furrows, and cau-' dal mucus pore. This species has been confounded with Z. capsella, but differs greatly in many particulars, especially in its general outline, number of whorls, width of umbilicus. There are sometimes 8 full whorls. The jaw and lingual membrane described as those of this species in Terr. Moll., V, are no doubt those of Z. LawL Zonites Wlieatleyi, Bland.
