I follow Newcomb and Sykes in placing Gulick 's species

 A specimen of tritacea from Gulick 's collection is figured, pi. 

 3, fig. 52. 



33er. L. o. subcylindracea n. var. PI. 3, figs. 60, 61. 



The shell is smaller than typical specimens of oryza, more 

 cylindrical ; the suture is broadly margined ; whorls 6% ; 

 aperture nearly vertical, slightly contracted. Length 6.6, 

 diam. 2.7, length of apert. 2.6 mm.
