deflected in front. Aperture oblique, broad, of a somewhat irregu- 

 larly broad-ovate form; peristome whitish, slightly thickened, 

 expanded throughout, somewhat reflected above ; upper and outer 

 margins well rounded ; basal margin rather straightened, reflected, 

 the margins approaching, connected by a thin callus ; columellar 

 margin oblique, much dilated, covering one-third of the umbilicus.

It is well distinguished from H. comephora Bgt. by the more 

 rapid increase of the whorls and especially the dilation of the last 

 whorl ; but as it is founded upon a single individual (the one figured), 

 and as Mr. Kriiper has since found the true comephora (which 

 name being etymologically incorrect has been changed to " comytho- 

 phora" by Boettger) in the same place, it is not unlikely that the 

 kruperi is merely an abnormal or pathologic phase of Bourguignat's 

 species. 



H. POUZOLZI Desh. (Vol. IV, p. 87). The group of which this 

 species is the type has been monographed by M. Bourguiguat, 

 (Bull. Soc. Mai. Fr. 1888, p. 203), who recognizes 18 species, most 

 of which are merely individual variations, but some are local races 

 or varieties. The following names are adopted : H. dinarica Bgt. 

 (=pouzolzi Dh. not Payr.), Kuzmici Bgt., paeiei Mlldff., pellanica 

 Bgt., montenegrina Ziegl., serbica Mlldflf., adriatica Bgt. bosnica Bgt. 

 (==bosniensis Kob.), varronis Bgt., teller nag or ica Bgt., diocletiana 

 Bgt., soccaliana Bgt., sabljari Bgt., horatii Bgt., biagioi Bgt., breno- 

 ica Bgt., daniloi Bgt., cantrainei Bgt. The three names, H. dalm- 

 atina Parr., gravosaensis Miihlf., ragusana Fer. are mentioned by 

 Bgt. as applied to species of this group, but not accompanied by 

 descriptions.
