 Shell: — Length 2,95 — 3,1 mm.; length : height about 1,75 : 1: length : breadth about 

 2 : 1. Seen from the side (fig. 1) it is rather elongated, with its greatest height somewhat behind 

 the middle and the posterior jjart somewhat, though only slightly, larger than the anterior part. 

 The dorsal and ventral margins are moderately and almost uniformly curved, with almost 

 the same shape, but the dorsal margin is somewhat more flattened anteriorly than the ventral 

 ( )ne ; they pass evenly into the anterior and pt)sterior margins without any corners. The anterior and 

 posterior margins are uniformly and boldly, almost semi-circularly, rounded. The rostral incisur 

 is situated rather considerably ventrally of half the height of the shell. Seen from beneath 

 (fig. 2) the shell is rather narrow and egg-shaped, with its greatest breadth somewhat behind 

 the middle; the posterior end is somewhat more broadly rovmded than the anterior one, the side 

 contours are evenly curved. Seen from i n s i d e: Medial bristles: ( )n tlie rostrum there is a fairly 

 distinct, moderately close, row of moderately long, stiff bristles, running somewliat witliin and 

 about parallel with the anterior margin of the shell. Within this row there are usually only 

 I'ather few scattered bristles on the rostrum; some of these bristles are moderately long, most of 

 tlu'in. liowever, are very short- they vaiy somewhat in number. In the incisur there are rathej' 

 numerous nuxlerately long, stiff bristles, all quite without any definite arrangement. On the part
