pygmaea. Pfeiffer? 



Inhab. marshy places, at the roots of grass, and 

 under stones; Suffolk, north of England, Preston, 

 Newcastle. 



Animal blackish grey. 



Shell somewhat smaller than V. pygmaa, and of a 

 more conical shape, with the volutions (four or five) 

 more rounded and better defined ; and may be 

 readily known by the two distinct teeth on the sur- 

 face between the two lips on the upper part of the 

 aperture, the right tooth much the larger. The tip 

 is mostly shining; mouth slightly margined exter- 

 nally ; peristome thin, reflexed ; perforation small. 



The figure (84.) of the first edition, did not well 

 represent this species, which is the smallest of the 

 tribe ; it has neither the striae nor the more rounded 

 whorls which distinguish it. 



Dr. Turton refers Montagu's T. Q-dentatus to this 

 species, Mr. Jeffreys refers it to V. palustris.
