Granopupa rhodia taurica (Kessler). PI. 31, fig. 16. 



Vol. XXIV, p. 345. Retowski (Malak. Blatter n. F., vi, 25) 

 has discussed the Pupa taurica Kessler (Reise nach der Krim, 

 1860, p. 226) originally described from the rocks at Jolta. 

 The size was given as 5.8 x 2.1 mm., and as a further differ- 

 ence, the two palatal folds are of equal length in taurica, 

 while in rhodia the lower is always shorter. Near Sudak, 

 Retowski collected specimens of intermediate size, 5.2 x 1.7 

 mm., with the lower palatal fold sometimes almost equal to 

 the upper, although it always remains a little shorter. He 

 considers taurica to be specifically identical with rhodia. 



Dr. Boettger stated that this variety is distinguished by its 

 greater size, more convex whorls and deeper suture. He gives 

 the localities : Sarus River drift, Adana, Cilicia ; Guelek, near 

 Adana; Kovelutza near Smyrna; Beirut and Damascus in 

 Syria (Modicella rhodia Roth, var. taurica Kessl., Boettger, 

 Nachrbl. D. M. Ges., 1905, p. 108). 



Beirut specimens from Boettger are not larger than rhodia, 

 but the whorls are distinctly more convex.

 ceived from the Boettger collection, measures, length 5.8, 

 diam. 2.2 mm. 



Granopupa brondeli (Bourguignat). PI. 31, fig. 14. 



Vol. XXIV, p. 346. A topotype from Pescade Point is here 

 figured. There are small angular and parietal lamellae and a 

 strong columellar lamella, situated high. No palatal folds. 



Length 5.3, diam. to lip edge 2.2 mm. ; 6 whorls. 



Some examples in the same lot are decidedly more slender.
