This form, collected by Dr. Krause, was identified by Dr. Rein- 

 hardt with Nevill's species and is included here solely on his authority, 

 as I have not seen specimens.

There are several varieties of this widespread and familiar species. 

 First, the type, subconic rather elevated and small, with narrow re- 

 flexed lip. Lea's specimen was decorticated and showed no signs of the 

 hairs with which the shell is usually covered, but this was accidental ; 

 some specimens normally show hardly a trace of the hairs which are 

 usually so conspicuous. The second variety, P. labiosa Gould, is 

 larger, more depressed relatively, with a broader, somewhat flexuous 

 reflected lip. This form is more prevalent in the interior of Washing- 

 ton, Idaho, etc., and more often has a parietal tooth or trace of a tooth. 

 The variety santacruzensis is in form more like the type but much 

 smaller, thin, lighter colored, with a sparser pelage, and about half 

 the specimens have a trace of a parietal tooth, while in a lot of about 

 seven hundred columbiana, from Sitka, I found only one specimen
