1. VERTIGO RUGOSULA Sterki. PI. 8, figs. 1, 2, 3. 



"Related to V. ovata and go'iddii, in shape more elongated 

 than the latter, more cylindrical and somewhat larger. Aper- 

 tural parts and lamellae much like those of ovata, but the 

 columella is decidedly longer and straighter, and the inferior 

 columellar lamella is distinctly placed on it. Of a peculiar 

 formation is the surface : of the 5 well rounded whorls, about 

 one and a half of the upper are nearly smooth ; the following 

 with exception of the last are distinctively and regularly 

 striated, the last very finely but distinctly rugose in the sense 

 of the lines of growth; near the aperture again striated. 

 Color, dark chestnut. Length 1.8 to 2, diam. 1.1 mm."
