Bifidaria cochisensis PILSBRY and FERRISS, Proc. A. N. S. 

 Phila., 1910, p. 139, figs. 32, 33. 



This species differs from G. ashmuni in the following fea- 

 tures : All the teeth are smaller. The columellar lamella is 

 very much shorter, and does not continue forward upon the 

 parietal wall. The palatal plicae are less deeply immersed, all 

 being visible in a front view in the aperture. The parietal 

 and angular lamellae are much less curved. The last whorl 

 is less protracted, never free in front, with a lower crest or 

 wave on the neck, or none. 



It is far less widely distributed than G. ashmuni, and even 

 in its area is of less general occurrence, all of the known 

 localities being given above. 



11. GASTROCOPTA OLIGOBASODON (Pilsbry & Ferriss). PI. 7, 

 figs. 8, 9, 10, 11. 



The shell resembles G. cochisensis, from which it differs in 

 the following details : All of the teeth are smaller. The pari- 

 etal and angular lamellte are far less curved, and the angular 

 joins the parietal near the outer end of the latter. The colu- 

 mellar lamella is much shorter (pi. 7, fig. 8). The basal 

 plica is reduced to a minute tubercle, or in some individuals 

 it seems to be wanting. The parietal margin of the peristome 

 is adnate for a greater distance.
