Anantehely Mountains, North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, Bridgeport, Ala. It may be considered a species of the Cumberland Subregion. In sculpture it is closely allied to Z. indentatus, of which it might almost be termed a gigantic variety, but the impressed striae are more numerous, and closer together. The form of the aperture is very near that of Z. inornatus. The general aspect of this sherl reminds one of the Asiatic group, to which Helix resplendens, Phil, and //. vitrinoides, Desh. belong. Animal long, slender, dirty-white, bluish on head and eye-peduncles: a dis- tinct locomotive disk, and furrows alongside of foot, meeting over a mucus pore; tail often recurved at tip, and bearing generally a drop of mucus on it; eye-peduncles long, slender. Jaw as usual in the genus. Z. sculptilis (PI. II. Fig. P) has 40—1—40 teeth on its lingual membrane, with 4 perfect laterals. Genitalia unobserved. Fig. 29. Zonites Elliotti, Shell with rather a narrow umbilicus, depressed-orbiculate, with fine trans- verse stria?, greenish horn-colored, hardly translucent, shining beneath; spire convex but not much raised ; whorls 5, rather convex, last one sometimes very slightly depressed at the aperture; suture deeply impressed; aperture very obli
