Creek, at an elevation of about 6,000 feet. These small specimens 

 contrast with those from Stations 13, from shaded slopes, where the 

 mode is at 20 to 20.5 mm., and the range from 17.75 to 21 mm. Large 

 shells occur at Station 11, at the shaded and humid base of Ried's 

 Mountain, about 6,000 feet elevation, and at the head of Pine Canyon, 

 at about 8,000 feet, also in a comparatively humid and well-shaded 

 situation. The shells from other places, while too few to be worth 

 tabulating, or to give reliable curves, support the above conclusions 

 as far as they go.

The sole, in alcoholic examples, is yellowish in the central field, the 

 lateral areas grayish, grooves rather indistinct. The back is blackish, 

 sides pale. 



Specimens from numerous lots were dissected, genitalia of two 

 being figured (pi. V. fig. 6, No. 94,335 from Station 13, South Fork of 

 Cave Creek, and fig. 4, No. 94,332, from Station 11, Cave Creek). The 

 penis is longer than in the original type specimen, but in about the 

 same proportion to the length of the vagina, which varies considerably. 

 This difference in length is perhaps due to the different modes of 

 preservation. The basal sheath of the penis and its retractor are 

 both quite short. The arcuate shape of the penis is due to its position 

 near the periphery of the last whorl when the animal is retracted.
