This has been shown (Bland and Binney, Annals, X, 221) from the character of the lingual dentition, to belong to the Vitrinea, not to the Helicacea of v. Marten's arrangement. I am indebted to Mr. J. Matthew Jones for an opportunity of examining a remarkable sub-fossil form found in stalag- mitic conglomerate, in caverns at Tucker's Town, Bermuda. The living H. Bermudensis, as described by Pfeiffer (Zool. Proc, 1845), has seven whorls and in size is diam. maj. 23, min. 21 mill., alt. 12 mill. The extinct form differs from it in having nine whorls, the last more convex above, a less acute carina, umbilicus smaller, but especially in size. The measurements are diam. maj. 37, min. 34 mill., alt. 19 mill. I propose the name of Hyalina JSFelsoni for the sub-fossil species, in honor of Lieut. Nelson, the author of valuable geological memoirs on the Bermuda and Bahama Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Lyceum of Natural History (New York, N.
