﻿12 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 59 



This belongs in the same group with Preston's Polita peruviana, 

 but is considerably larger, with a relatively much larger umbilicus, 

 and has a slight flattening of the body whorl which makes the section 

 of the whorl less rounded above than in Preston's species, of which 

 the National Museum possesses the type specimen. The species is 

 named in honor of Professor H. W. Foote of the expedition. 



A small slug was obtained at Cuzco in some numbers, but arrived 

 in such poor preservation that it could afford little or no information 

 on dissection.
