Operculum nullum. 



Shell terrestrial. Cj'lindrical, ci-eascd, generally 



chrysalis-shaped, with many whorls and obtuse 



apex. Aperture frequently plaited an<l toothed, 



margin reflected, continuous. Operculum none. 



In the following monogi'aph, which cannot he 



made absolutely complete in this work, the genera 



Guuii's, ExxEA, and Vertigo are included with the 



undisputed Pnpa. The species are found on most 



European continents and islands, particularly the 



more southern parts, and are also abundant in the 



East and West Indies, South Sea Islands, and other 



localities too nmnerous to mention. They are only 



wanting or rare in the colder climates. The riiiia in 



this ami other genera of pupa-shaped land shells is 



a crease formed by an abnormal doubling as it were of 



the last whorl, bi-inging the mouth by a somewhat 



sudden turn to the front.

Brva.nt's Pupa. Shell shortly cylindrical, shortly 

 creased, whitish, mottled with chestnut ; whorls 

 eight, strengthened with solid, rather distant, 

 rather straight ribs ; aperture ovate, maro-in 

 rounded, reflected; columella with two plaits. 



Pfeifper. Mon. Hel. VI. p. 92. 



Uab. South Magna, Bahamas. 



From its form and mottled colouring, this species 



would seem to re.semble Pupa Chrysalis with its 



whorls vertically depressed, but with the addition of 



two plaits on the co umella.

The Acorn pupa. Shell obese, chrysalis-shaped, 

 solid, bluish, sometimes varied with chestnut, 

 acuminated towards the apex; whorls ten, 

 strengthened with strong ribs ; aperture chest-

 sti-ougly biplieate.
