Shell rather small, rather depressed, thin, transparent, 

 glossy, of an uniform brownish fulvous hue, not exhibiting 

 any trace of opacity on the lower disk, longitudinally 

 striolate, spire a little raised, rather obtuse at the apex. 

 Whorls four and a half or five, gradually and not abruptly 

 enlarging, moderately convex, well defined ; the last broadly 

 rounded and not contracted at the circumference. Aper- 

 ture roundish crescent-shaped, rather broader than high, 

 not quite equal to half the total diameter. Peristome 

 thin, simple, not reflected, basal edge arcuated, base some- 

 what rounded, a little produced anteriorly, umbilicus 

 decidedly large, displaying the second volution, diameter 

 rather above a quarter of an inch. 



The animal is dark. This snail is not uncommon under 

 stones in shady places. 



Z. excavatus, Bean. 



Small, transparent and fulvous above and below, much shin- 

 ing, regularly striated ; whorls very slowly enlarging, so that 

 the body is scarcely broader than the preceding turn ; umbi- 

 licus peculiarly capacious.
