 38 teeth, with 11 perfect laterals. 



S. subula, Pfr. (pi. XV., fig. 8, b is an extreme marginal). There

Genus PUPA, Drap. 



I have personally examined the jaw and lingual membrane in 

 only two species, P.fallax (pi. XV., fig 12) and P. rupicola (pi. 

 XV., fig. 2). For information about the other species I am in- 

 debted to Mr. Morse, whose figures are copied below. 



The jaw is low (in F. 7-itpicoIa, pi. XVI., fig. 7, strongly arched), 

 wide, arcuate ; ends but little attenuated in muscorum^ pentodon, 

 fallax, rupicola ; acutely pointed in corticaria ; a more or less 

 developed, broad, blunt median projection to the cutting edge ; 

 anterior surface without ribs, but generally with vertical stride. 



Figure 29 gives a general 

 view of the arrangement of 

 the teeth on the lingual mem- 

 brane. PI. XV., fig. 2, shows 

 more correctly the charac- 

 ters of the individual teeth

of the genus. The mem- 

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

 described below ; excepting that in Papa the central tooth is quite 

 small in proportion to the laterals. The marginal teeth are ir- 

 regularly denticulated, the inner denticle the largest.

P. muscorum (see fig. 29 above), has 90 rows of 14 — 1 — 14 teeth, 

 with six perfect laterals. The figure and description of Lehmann 

 of the European P. muscorum, confirm my belief in the identity 

 of the two forms.
