ABIDA. 325 



Pupa plagiostoma Bgt., Loc. Conic-ventricose, slowly taper- 

 ing above ; 7-8 quite convex whorls, the suture impressed. 

 Aperture large, ovate, oblique in one direction ; 2 superior 

 folds, the one nearest the suture veiy small, the other larger, 

 arcuate, immersed; 1 columellar fold, immersed and rudi- 

 mentary ; 2 subequal palatals, the second nearly attaining the 

 peristome. Peristome well expanded, a little thin. Shell cor- 

 neous-red, but little striate. Alt. 10, diam. S 1 /? mm. Rare ; 

 Meaille near Annot (Basses-Alpes), Saint-Raphael (Var), etc. 

 Pupa plagiostoma, Brgt. in coll., Locard, t. c., 1896, p. 191. 



Var. sabaudina Bourguignat (pi. 45, fig. 13, after Bgt.; fig. 

 15, Lausanne, Switzerland). "Differs from the type by the 

 smaller shell, larger aperture, and the much immersed four 

 palatal plica? except the third, which alone extends to the 

 peristome." Found in dry, elevated places, under stones, 

 Aix-les-Bains. Has a rather distinct appearance. 



Var. angularis Westerlund, 1887. Shell cylindric, only 

 conic above, the suture dark-margined. Aperture drawn out 

 below, the peristome reflected, strongly convex, white-lipped. 

 Angular lamella strongly arched above and united with the 

 outer lip. Palatal plicas 4 (first short, fourth punctiform, 

 second and third marginal, but the second weaker. Length 

 S-ll 1 /?, diam. 2 1 / 2 -3 1 /o mm. Poisat, in Dauphine (Wester- 

 lund). 



A. variabilis obliqua (Nevill). PI. 45, fig. 14. 



Shell related to P. multidentata [A. variabilis] but of 

 smaller, more compressed form, more cylindric and turrited. 

 "Whorls 11, nearly equal, parted by a much impressed suture. 

 Aperture very much contracted, quadrangular, the margins 

 somewhat straight, parallel, and joined by a very strong cal- 

 losity. Columellar margin distinctly angulate below ( in P. 

 multidentata rather rounded) ; parietal lamella less oblique 

 and prominent; columellar lamella? deeper within; principal 

 [lower] palatal plica conspicuous and noticeable, straightly 

 ascending, hardly curved. 



Length 10, diam. 3 mm. Type from deposit F. 



Length 9%, diam. 3.1 mm. Specimen from deposit B (Ne-
