' ' Differs from newconibi by its smaller size, the number of 

 whorls, width of the umbilicus, strong parietal lamella, and 

 the slightly projecting, obsolete, columellar den ti dilations" 

 (Ancey}. 



Ancey 's type material consists of three specimens. A single 

 adult and two immature, one of which is nearly adult. There 

 is a second lot of six specimens from Lahaiua collected by Bald- 

 win and named by Ancey. One of these is almost the dupli- 

 cate of the type and is in far better condition. This specimen 

 (pi. 50, figs. 1, 2) has 6^2 whorls and measures: length 3, 

 diani. 1.5, axis of apert. 1.05, par. lam. 0.16, umb. 0.36 mm. 

 Ancey 's type measures 1.5 mm. in diameter, not one-half 

 mm., as stated in his description. 



T. euryomphala and T. macroptych'ia are very closely re- 

 lated. The former is slightly larger, with more convex whorls, 

 the base is natter and the umbilicus is larger. In adult speci- 

 mens the upper columella fold is stronger than the lower. 

 The surface is minutely striate. 



An immature specimen, from the same lot as the figured 

 specimen, is much lighter in color. It has 5y whorls, the 

 lower columellar fold is much stronger than the upper, the 

 former being 0.12, the latter 0.05 mm. in height. The parietal 

 lamella is 0.2 mm. in height. It is eccentrically ribbed with 

 3-4 raised lines, one of which forms the inner margin of the 

 lamella. The embryonic whorls are not spirally striate (fig. 

 3)-
