LAUE1A, AZORES ISLANDS. 1 2 i 



suture, the last compressed basally, obscurely banded, slightly 

 ascending in front. Aperture vertical, semioval, 4-plieate: 

 2 lamella? in the parietal wall, the right one [angular lamella] 

 strong, prominent, obliquely entering, joined to the peristome 

 by a callus; the left one [parietal lamella] very small, some- 

 times punctiform. 1 columellar lamella, and 1 rather strong 

 palatal fold. Peristome a little expanding, calloused, the 

 right margin slightly thickened above the middle. Length 

 2%, diam. iy 2 mm. (Morelet). 



Azores: San Miguel, at the foot of the wooded mountains 

 bordering the southern end of the lake in the valley of Las 

 Furnas ( Morelet ) .

This rare species is figured from a specimen received from 

 Morelet. The sculpture is coarser than in other species of 

 the Azores, the ribs somewhat irregular, entirely wanting on 

 the first V/2 whorls, small on the next whorl, and on the last, 

 they do not extend upon the smooth, glossy base. The color 

 is uniform light ochraceous buff in this example, which does 

 not show the "une ou deux fascies pen distinctes a la base" 

 mentioned by Morelet. 



The very strongly developed angular lamella is remote 

 from the posterior angle, about in the middle of the parietal 

 margin. It emerges to the edge of the moderate parietal 

 callus. The parietal lamella is very small and low, easily 

 overlooked. Columellar lamella strong; above it a low r , blunt 

 indication of a supracolumellar. Within the lip there is a 

 strong lower-palatal fold only. Length 2.2. diam. 1.35 mm.; 

 4"' , whorls.

Leiostyliform Lauria' with numerous (8 or 9) Hat whorls. 

 The angular and columellar lamella? penetrate very deeply. 

 Parietal and supracolumellar lamella? and two palatal folds 

 are present in the type and only species known. L. tesselata.
