 a parallel lamella present. Pyrenean center, but extending 

 across southern France. 



1. ABIDA POLYODON (Drap.). PI. 44, figs. 1, 2, 3. 



The shell is cylindric below, the upper half or less conic, 

 apex obtuse ; cinnamon or somewhat darker, thin, very finely, 

 distinctly striate ; upper whorls convex, the later much less so, 

 the last whorl somewhat compressed near the base, whitish or 

 buff near the lip, the suture ascending slightly at its end. 

 The aperture is shortly oval. Angular lamella straight in 

 front, entering deeply, and weakly continuous with the spiral 

 lamella, which is curved, and attains a dorsal position, deeper 

 than the parietal lamella. A short twin accessory lamella 

 stands between the angular and the outer lip, and far within 

 there is a small "parallel lamella" between the spiral lamella
