and finely, obliquely rib-striate. Whorls 8y 2 to IQi/o, some- 

 what convex, the last not free in front, with a distinct basal 

 earina, stronger on the latter half. Aperture slightly oblique. 

 subcircular, pale within ; peristome white or light, broadly 

 expanded and reflexed, adnate above. Internal pillar slender 

 and straight within each whorl. Young shell very long, slen- 

 der and gradually tapering, many-whorled, so that if retained 

 to the adult stage the shell would consist of over 20 whorls. 



Length 31, diam. 9 mm. ; whorls 91/3. 



Length 34, diam. 9 mm. ; whorls lO 1 /?.

A strongly marked species, always pale colored, and differ- 

 ing from other species with the peristome adnate, by its 

 straight and slender internal column. 



Cylindrella transaperta Sowerby (Conch. Icon., xx, pi. 9, 

 f. 77, 1875) seems to differ from U. nobilior chiefly in the 

 broader, less rounded aperture. It is thus described: "Shell 

 broad, subcylindrical, brownish, very finely striated; perma- 

 nent whorls 9 or 10, straight-sided, upper narrow ; last rather 

 square, with a long notch [rima] ; aperture transversely ob- 

 long, inner lip touching, thick, white. The inner margin of 

 the mouth touches the middle of the last whorl, across which 

 it is extended." Habitat unknown. Type in coll. Sowerby. 

 PI. 3, fig. 25, is a copy of the original figure.
