140 HELIX-ISOMERIA. 



peristome white, moderately thick ; basal margin with two incon- 

 spicuous tubercles ; columellar margin very short, thicker, partly 

 covering the umbilicus.

Umbilicate, rather thin, depressed, lens-shaped carinated at the 

 circumference, convex above and beneath, chestnut colored. The 

 surface is shining, closely obliquely striate, the strise stronger above, 

 granulate (under a lens), the granulation more or less obsolete, 

 especially on the w r horls of the spire. The spire is low-conoidal, its 

 lateral outlines a trifle convex ; apex obtuse, corneous, first two 

 whorls minutely granulate, not striate ; sutures linear or a trifle im- 

 pressed. Whorls 5 or 5}, slowly, regularly widening, nearly plane 

 or a little convex ; the last whorl is not oblong nor transversely 

 dilated, but is a trifle narrower toward its latter fourth (seen from 

 above) ; it is depressed, acutely keeled, somewhat convex beneath ; 

 the carina is subobsolete on the last fourth of the whorl. At the 

 aperture the whorl is abruptly deflexed, descending only a short 

 distance (1 to 2 mill.) ; behind the peristome it is constricted. The 

 aperture is subtrigonal, livid inside. The peristome is expanded, 

 subreflexed, rather narrow and thin, white ; the outer portion is 

 labiate with chestnut color inside ; outer and upper portions arcuate, 

 basal lip straight, rather abruptly curving at the columellar insertion, 

 where it is a trifle dilated, and connected with the upper margin of 

 peristome by a cord-like white ridge of callous, which is either 

 straight or curves outward a little. There are no Hp-teeth ; the 

 parietal wall of aperture bears a minute oblique denticle. The 

 umbilicus is large (4 to 5 mill, diam.) and deep ; it expands behind 

 the peristome, and has an obsolete spiral furrow there, and stronger 

 radiating stride. 



Alt. 15, diam. maj. 34, min. 30 mill.
