ZONITES. 115 



Lingual membrane with 82 rows of 21 — 1 — 21 teeth (Morse). My specimen 

 (PI. III. Fig. F) has about 16 — 1 — 16, with 5 perfect laterals. There are dis- 

 tinct side cusps as well as cutting points to the central and lateral teeth. 



Animal : head, neck, and eye-peduncles blackish, or indigo blue ; upper parts 

 bluish ; posterior parts whitish, transparent, sometimes wholly white. Foot thin 

 and narrow. It has the longitudinal furrows, but on account of the transparent 

 tissue of the foot, I find it difficult to distinguish any caudal pore. 



Helix Breweri seems to me synonymous with arboreus, but the de- 

 scription and figure from "Land and Fresh-Water Shells" is here '^, 

 repeated. 7_T 



Shell umbilicated, depressed, smooth, shining ; surface unbroken 

 by the wrinkles of growth, very light horn-color; spire scarcely ele- 

 vated ; whorls 4, flattened, the last depressed, shelving towards its 

 base ; umbilicus moderate ; aperture transversely lunar ; peristome 

 simple, acute. Greater diameter 5 mill. ; height, 2^ mill. Hyaiina 



Near Lake Tahoe, California. 



Figure 32 is drawn from an authentic specimen. 



Z. arboreus is said by Gwynn Jeffreys to be nearly allied to the European 

 Z. ezcavatus (Ann. Mag. N. H. 1872, 245).

 Vol. III. PL XXIX. Fig. 1. 



Shell umbilicated, small, depressed, thin, fragile; epidermis pale, or brown- 

 ish horn-color, wrinkled, shining ; whorls 4, the last rapidly enlarging towards 

 the aperture ; aperture transversely rounded ; peristome simple, its edge rather 

 thickened, not acute ; umbilicus small, but well marked and constant. Greater 

 diameter 5, lesser 4| mill. ; height, 2 mill.
