42 PUPISOMA. 



face with faint growth-lines and microscopically granulated ; 

 apex obtuse, large, more densely granulated than the body of 

 the shell ; widely umbilicate, with the umbilicus extending to 

 the apex and contained about 5 times in the diameter of the 

 shell. Aperture well rounded, slightly oblique; lip thin, 

 partly reflected around the umbilicus. The type measures, 

 alt. 1.5, diam. 1.38, umbilicus 0.29 mm. (Clapp). 



Length 1.3, diarn. 1.25 mm.; 3% whorls (cotype). 



Alabama: Magazine Point, 8 miles north of Mobile. Also 

 found at Spring Hill and along the Fowl River, about 3 miles 

 from the coast in the southern part of Mobile Co. (L. H. 

 McNeill).

 p. 74, pi. 8, f. 1. 



In the cotype figured the umbilicus is contained 5% times 

 in the diameter. Dr. Clapp 's figure shows 3y 2 whorls, and 

 this is the number counted in the cotype figured. The um- 

 bilicus is larger than in P. minus and the aperture is less 

 oblique, this being particularly noticeable in a basal or a 

 profile view.

The shell is perforate, globose-conic, thin, olive-buff, some- 

 what glossy. Sculpture of widely, unevenly spaced low rib- 

 lets, the intervals somewhat roughened by shallow pitting, 

 without spiral striation, the first two whorls very minutely 

 granulose. The whorls are strongly convex. Aperture trun- 

 cate-rounded. Peristome thin, slightly expanded below, the 

 columellar margin rather broadly dilated over the rather 

 large perforation. 



Length 1.7, diam. 1.44, length aperture 0.7 rnm. ; 4i/> whorls. 



Length 1.7, diam. 1.46, length aperture 0.7 mm.; 41/0 whorls.
