which are not only rather longer than in the generality of the 

 species, but have also their striae both rougher and subgranu- 

 lated, and by its aperture being relatively rather small and 

 narrow. The margins of its peristome are wide apart, and their 

 connective lamina is a little incrassated (though hardly raised 

 into a tubercle) at the upper insertion. I have retained for the 

 species the name which Mr. Lowe proposed at the time that he 

 found it.

Habitat Canariam Grandem juxta Las Palmas (sec. Mous- 

 son) a cl. Fritsch parce, in statu emortuo, lectus. 



Described by Mousson from three dead examples which 

 were found by Fritsch near Las Palmas in Grand Canary ; and, 

 judging from the diagnosis, it would appear, in its rather 

 cylindrical outline and more decidedly sculptured subgranulose 

 intermediate whorls (the ultimate one being comparatively 

 finely striate and shining), to have something in common with 

 the B. chrysaloides of that same island. Nevertheless it seems 

 to be considerably larger (measuring about 7^ lines in length, 

 instead of only 6) and less decidedly cylindric. ' Les trois 

 individus,' observes Mousson, ' que j'ai vu de cette espece ont 

 ete trouve a I'etat mort, mais comme I'un presente d'un cote 

 son epiderme et son brillant, je les crois faire partie de la faune 

 actuelle. La forme de cette espece, un cylindre amoindri des 

 deux cotes, n'a jusqu'ici pas d'analogue dans les Canaries, mais 

 rappelle d'une maniere frappante celle du B. niveus, Fer., du 

 midi de la Eussie ; celui-ci toutefois compte 9 tours, est un 

 peu plus grele, et n'offre pas la sculpture superficielle de la 

 presente. Cette sculpture consiste en fines stries subcostulees, 

 souvent un peu granuleuses, qui couvrent les tours moyens, et 

 disparaissent entierement au dernier tour, lequel est presque 

 lisse et luisant, excepte a la base, qui reste un peu granuleuse.'

Habitat Canariam Grandem; in statu (an omnino?) semi-

Apparently a rather small species (measuring only about 

 6 lines in length), and one which was found by Fritsch, in a
