3. MONOGRAPHS OF ELLOBIUM AND MELAMPUS, TWO GENERA OF PULMONIFEROUS MOLLUSCA. BY H. AND A. ADAMS.

Genus ELLOBIUM, Bolten. Head ending in a snout ; tentacles subcylindrical ; eyes situated

at their inner bases. Living on the land.

Shell ohlong-oval, covered with a brown epidermis ; spire short, obtuse ; aperture narrow, elongated ; inner lip with 2-3 large ante- rior plaits ; outer lip thickened internally.

Otis, Humph., not Linn.-Auricula, Lamk., not K1ein.-Auricu- lus, Montf.-Marsyas, 0ken.-Geovula, Swains.

The animals of this genus resemble in their habits those ofPytkia, Bolten (Scarabus, Moutfort), living in salt marshes and mangrove- swamps.

Pulmoiiiferous ; respiring free air.
