PUPILLA, EUROPE. 



is:; 



The status of bigranata cannot be considered settled, but 

 for the purpose of this work Boettger's view is accepted. 



10. PUPILLA ALPICOLA (Charpentier). PL 21, figs. 16 to 18. 



A little larger than the preceding [P. marginata Drap., 

 muscorum auct.]. Very rare. Mont Gedroz, Vallee de Bagne 

 (Charp.).

 (typog. err.). 



Closely related to P. cupa. According to Clessiu, his Pupa 

 muscorum var. pratensis is equal to madida. 



Westerlund (NachrbL, 1875, p. 73; Fauna, 1887, p. 123) 

 considers alpicola to be a variety of P. sterri. Clessin admits 

 this for Kuester's figures, but thinks Charpentier 's shell is 

 madida Gredler. Piaget also takes this view, giving a new 

 figure of alpicola, our pi. 21, fig. 18. Charpentier 's original 

 figures are reproduced, a little enlarged by photography, in 

 pi. 21, figs. 16, 17. 



P. alpicola saxetana Piaget. PL 21, figs. 14, 15. Shell with 

 a quite long umbilical crevice, dilated at its margin, finely 

 and regularly striate, a little more than in the type, very 

 short and wide, very ventricose, oval-eylindric, with very little 

 gloss, brown ; summit very much rounded. Only 5 whorls, 

 very convex, increasing more rapidly than in the type, the 

 suture deep. Aperture quite large, normal in shape, rounded. 

 Peristome lightly margined with white within, quite thin; 

 columellar margin little oblique, narrow, better margined
