Var. nodosaria Boettger. PI. 1, fig. 16. May be near var. 

 anglica, but differs by its far .smaller size. With 5 volutions 

 the Caucasus form has relatively wider and distinctly more 

 convex whorls, so that the aperture appears more widely ob- 

 long. Length 3.5, diam. 1.12 mm. (Bttg., Jahrb. D. M. Ges. 

 vi, 1879, p. 398, pi. 10, f. 10). 



Caucasus: flotsam of the Kura at Borshom. 



Var. merimeana Bourguignat. Shell lengthened oblong with 

 obtuse apex. Whorls 6, somewhat convex, irregularly increas-

 very large, the last almost half the total length, descending at 

 the aperture, rounded at base; suture impressed; outer margin 

 arching forward. Columella short, curved, strongly retracted 

 below, nearly reaching the base. Length 5, diam. 1.5 mm.
