specimen which Heynemann (Mai. Blatt. 1862, pi. III., fig. 12) 

 describes with a ribbed jaw. Bergh (Zool. Bot. Gesell. in Wien,

The lingual membrane is arranged, as usual in the Helicinae, as 

 shown in fig. 25. It must be borne in mind that I offer this

figure simply to show the general arrangement of the teeth the 

 form of the individual teeth being much more accurately given in 

 pi. VI., fig 1. Morse counted 115 rows of 56 1 56 teeth, another 

 membrane gave-49 1 49 teeth, with 22 perfect laterals; I have 

 myself counted 56156 teeth, with 11 perfect laterals. The 

 central teeth a have a very Ion? narrow base of attachment 

 widening towards the lower margin, which is excavated. There is 

 a line of reinforcement running parallel to the lower edge, and for 

 a short distance along the sides. The reflected portion equals 

 only one-fourth of the length of the base of attachment. It is stout
