AZECA. 295 



Moquin-Tandon's description and figures of A. tridens are 

 said to be from specimens of this variety. According to Saint- 

 Simon the appendix is long with club-like end, similar to that 

 figured for Chondrus quadridens on pi. 22, f. 3, of Moquin- 

 Tandon's Mollusques de France. The jaw is composed of about 

 20 wide plaits. Its ends are pointed, as in Zonites lucidus. 

 Radula with 80 rows of 14, 8, 1, 8, 14 teeth, the marginals with 

 4, laterals with 2 cusps. Central teeth very small. 



Var. GOODALLI (Ferussac). PI. 46, figs. 3, 4, 5. 



The obesely fusiform shell is comparatively shorter than in 

 menkeana, composed of 6^ to 7 whorls, the last swollen and 

 whitish behind the outer and basal lip margin?, the outer lip 

 being excised and rather thin in the upper third, blunt and 

 narrowly expanded below. Parietal lamella, supraparietal 

 denticle and cord along the edge of the parietal callus about as 

 in A. menkeana. Columella strongly dentate at base, and with 

 a broad white vertical lamella above, scarcely visible except in 

 oblique view. Outer lip having a stout marginal tooth opposite 

 the parietal lamella, but usually no lower palatal fold, and 

 there are no deep seated internal teeth within the outer wall. 



Length 5.5 to 6, diam. 2.5 mm. 



England, type loc. " by the river Stour." Southern France.
