120 WEST AMERICAN SHELLS 
mm. The little shell was collected under leaves, 
near Seattle, by Mr. P. B. Randolph. It is of a 
dark reddish brown color, with silky luster. 
Pristoloma lansingi, Bland, Lansing’s Zonite, 
is found in damp, moist places under leaves, in 
Oregon and Washington. The little shell is 
scarcely 3mm. in diameter, but it has five or six 
whorls, a rather elevated spire, but no umbilicus. 
The lower end of the narrow aperture is almost 
immediately beneath the apex. In appearance it is 
shining and dark horn-colored. 
Pristoloma stearnsi, Bland, Stearns’s Zonite, 
has a similar range, but reaches into Alaska. It 
resembles the last species, but is more elevated, 
more striate, and has seven whorls. Its diameter 
is 4mm.

cific Coast a stranger is apt to be startled by 
meeting a few and perhaps many specimens of a 
yellowish slug of remarkable size, but old resi-

though very few express any decided appreciation 
for the slippery things. In damp and shady places 
they are active all the year, though in the time of 
summer drought they are seldom seen in the fields. 
A picture of a half grown specimen is given in 
Figure 102. They frequently grow to a length of 
six inches, and look as if they were exceedingly
