Figures 14, 15 are copied from Issel. He explains that the 

 second columellar tooth is small and was inadvertently omitted 

 by the draughtsman. 



I have provisionally identified this shell with specimens 

 from Manila and Masbate, which are the Staurodon moreleU 

 of Boettger and von Moellendorff, reported from Cebu, Busu- 

 anga and Luzon, and in Moellendorff 's Verzeichnis from the 

 entire Philippine Archipelago. But in material seen there is 

 no basal or second columellar tooth (there being but 5 teeth), 

 and the angular lamella is less erect than figured by Tappa- 

 rone Canefri. These specimens are, in fact, not specifically 

 distinct from A T . barrackporensis (Gude). They differ from 

 N. minutalis (Morel.) by being more rugose. A Manila ex- 

 ample (pi. 32, fig. 16) is here described. 



The shell is cylindric-oblong, hazel or somewhat darker in 

 color, somewhat glossy, rather coarsely striate, and under the 

 microscope densely pitted or vermiculate-granose. The whorls 

 are moderately convex. The aperture has five teeth. The 

 angular lamella is low, diverging forward from the parietal, 

 joining the outer margin. Parietal high and long, slightly 

 curved. The columellar lamella is strong, nearly horizontal, 

 but ascending a little inwardly. There is no trace of a sub- 

 col umellar or basal. The two rather short palatal folds are 

 rather deeply placed. The peristome expands rather broadly 

 but is hardly thickened within. There is no perceptible 

 parietal callus. 



Length 2, diam. 1.1 mm. ; 5 whorls.
