"The straightened, rather cylindric-oblong outline of this 

 comparatively small, very highly polished, pellucid, and pale 

 greenish-yellow, or olivaceo-corneous Lovea (which measures 

 from about 3 to 3y 2 lines in length) , added to the thinness of 

 its substance, the excessive obliquity of its suture, its enlarged 

 and slightly tumid penultimate volution, its acute, unthick- 

 ened peristome, and its somewhat short and posteriorly 

 rounded (or unangulate) aperture, will sufficiently distin- 

 guish it" ( Wollaston) . 



"The specimens of this Lovea from Lanzarote, which must 

 be looked upon as the normal ones, are a trifle smaller and 

 narrower, and perhaps -a little more cylindrical (or less ovate) 

 than those from Fuerteventura ; and their columella is, on the 

 average, somewhat less truncated behind, or more gradually 

 and imperceptibly rounded off into the hinder margin of the 

 peristome; but the latter character is so unmistakably vari- 

 able in both forms that I would merely register the Fuerte- 

 venturan individuals as representing a 'var. B. submajor,' dis- 

 tinctive of that particular island." (Wollast.) 



The description and figs. 45, 46 are drawn from a specimen 

 from the "Wollaston collection, taken at Fuerteventura.
