Genus HPiLICINA Lamarrk.

Testa tenrstre, kelici/oiinis, conica, lenticularis, met

globosa ; apertur<r tnargine intemo rectiuscido,

manjine externa pkrumqite rejhxo vcl iiicrassato.

Operculum concent i-i cum, testaceum vel coi-neum, oblique

semilunari vel subquadralum, nucleo subceatrali. Slicll terrestrial, helieiforiii, conicul, lenticular or globose ; inner edge of aperture ratlier straight. outer margin generally reflected or thickened. Operculum concentric, shelly or horny, obli(iuely semi- lunar or subquadrate, with nearly central nucleus. It is difficult to accept as useful the numerous generic divisions into which the species of this genus have been .separated. The pas.siiges from the conical to the globose, the globose to the lenticular, the notched to the entire columella, the impercei)tible to the thick rounded callus, the rounded to the angular, and thence to the keeled body-wliorl, are made bv almost impercep- tible gradations. That being the case, it is impossible to define snch genera as Trochatella, Alcudin, Lucidella, <tc., so as to distinguish them from each other, and from llelirina ; while, on the other hand, they unitedly form a genus of varying forms, but fairly included in one genus as defined above.

The llelicina abound more on islands than on con- tinents, jireterring the tropics. Cuba, the West Indian Islands, especially Jamaica, the Philijjpines, and the Pacific Islands are among tlieir favourite habitats, although the tropical, and even the nortliern parts of the .American continent ]iroduce many species. The rapid increase in the nuniber of known species that has t.aken place in this genus is very remarkable. In 1842 Mr. Sowerby publi.shed 7;i species, a large proportion of which were then recent discoveries; and in 18GG his 2nd Monograph with 270 species. In the present work we describe 310.
