Very narrow, sub- cylindrical, thin, rugosely striate; spire 

 very short, apex mamillary; whorls 2|, suture not impressed; 

 body very long and narrow, the sides flattened, sub-parallel ;

 Covered with a rather opaque dark yellow or orange epider

Washington Territory, British Columbia. 



No other American species has the peculiar narrow form, 

 fragile substance and opaque epidermis of the above. 



81. Succinea Salleana, Pfeiflfer. 



Plate 2, figure 32. 



Depressed ovate, somewhat wedge-shaped, very thin, striate, 

 with impressed irregular revolving stria3 ; spire very short, not 

 elevated above the general outline of the shell, apex papillary ; 

 whorls 2 J, very much obliquely flattened above, broadly 

 rounded below ; aperture seven-eighths the entire length of 

 the shell, pear-shaped, sharply angled above, columella with-

The narrow wedge-shaped form of this species, together with 

 the spire almost minute and the very long aperture, will amply 

 serve to distinguish it from the others.
