Whorls of the spire convex, the body whorl is rather cylindrical 

 and much bent to the right and forward, giving the penultimate 

 whorl a swollen appearance. Aperture irregularly oval, outer lip 

 sharp, thickened, bow shaped in profile, columella and parietal 

 walls forming a concave arch, parietal callus nearly straight, thin. 



Alt. 5.9, diam. 2.16, length of aperture 1.9, breadth of apert. 

 1.2 mm. 



Monterey, California, " on a starfish." 



Type in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences, No. 

 65,881. 



This species differs from E. thersites Cpr.,^ of which I have not 

 seen a specimen, in being narrower, having more whorls, a longer 

 body whorl, and in having varices. It differs from E. loivei n. 

 sp, in having three instead of four varices, and in being bent 

 forward and also to the right and in having a more cylindrical 

 body whorl. 

 Eulima compacta Cpr. PI. XI, figs. 11, 12. 



Shell small, stout, smooth, shining, pinkish white, opaque, the 

 outline of the spire straight, conical. Apex decollated, of mod- 

 erate diameter. Sutures linear, not ascending toward the aperture. 

 About six and one-half whorls remaining, whorls of the spire flat, 

 the body whorl oval. No varices. Aperture ovate, outer lij) 

 sharp, not thickened, in profile it is nearly straight to the periph- 

 ery, then bent backward. Columella rounded, slightly concave, 

 parietal wall a Httle convex, forming a slight obtuse angle with the 

 columella, parietal callus moderate,

Pt, Abreogos, Lower California (H, Hemphill!). 



The specimen figured is in the collection of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences, No. 57,263. 



This species may be easily distinguished by its stout, straight, 



^ Carpenter's diagnosis of this species is (translated) as follows: ''Shell 

 small, very short, whitish, arcuate, very much distorted, right margin of 

 the spire nearly straight, left strongly excurved ; nuclear whorls decollated, 

 whorls remaining 6, smooth, nearly flat, the suture distinct, base strongly 

 arched, aperture suboval, produced toward the right, peritreme continu- 

 ous, heavily calloused, lip sinuous.
