Jaw of Pupa badia (Morse). 



formation about the other species I am indebted to Mr. Morse, whose figures 

 are copied below. 



The jaw is low, wide, arcuate (in P. rupicola, 

 strongly arched) ; ends but little attenuated in mus- 

 corum, pentodou, fallax, rupicola, acutely pointed 

 in corticaria ; a more or less developed, broad, 

 blunt median projection to the cutting edge ; an- 

 terior surface without ribs, but generally with vertical stria?. 



PI. IV. Figs. S and T show more correctly the characters of the individual 

 teeth of the genus, the general arrangement being as in Patula. The mem- 

 brane is long and narrow, the teeth are as in the genus Vertigo described be- 

 low; excepting that in Pupa the central tooth is quite small in proportion to 

 the laterals. The marginal teeth are irregularly denticulated, the inner den- 

 ticle the largest. 



Subgenus PUPILLA, Leach. 



Animal, as in the genus, small, short; tail short, pointed ; eye-peduncles long; 

 tentacles stout, xvvx short. 



Shell deeply rimate or perforate, cylindrically shortened, apex extended 

 into an obtuse cone : horn-colored, smooth ; whorls 5 - 9 ; aperture rounded 

 with few or no folds; peristome somewhat expanded. 



Pupa muscorum, LlN. 

 Vol. III. PL LXX. Fig. 3. 

 Shell perforate, cylindrical, subfusiform, obtuse at both extremities; epider- 

 mis dark chestnut-color or bay; whorls 6 to 7, rounded, the anterior 4 of 

 about equal diameter ; suture deep; aperture lateral, nearly circular, small, its 

 diameter equal to two thirds of the diameter of the last whorl, a thin, testa- 

 ceous deposit forming a thickened margin internally, sometimes bearing an ob- 

 tuse tubercle; upon the parietal wall is a single tubercle; transverse margin 

 subreflected ; peristome slightly reflected. Length, 4 mill.; breadth, lh mill.
