Inhab. on moss and Jungermannice, in damp 

 places, springs, &c. 



Shell the tenth of an inch long, of a cylindrical 

 form, and hardly decreasing in diameter for its whole 

 length, highly polished and marked with rather re- 

 mote regular longitudinal strife, which are hardly 

 distinguishable without a good glass; spire composed 

 of six very slightly raised but well-defined volutions, 

 the two terminal ones of which are smaller and paler ; 

 aperture roundish-oval, with the margin thin, and a 

 little reflected at the pillar, where it forms a slight 

 perforation. 



The animal and shell are sometimes dark brown 

 and at others pale yellowish white. They are some- 

 times found reversed.
