  South- 
  African 
  

  

  misquoted. 
  It 
  therefore 
  seems 
  desirable 
  to 
  substitute 
  the 
  

   following 
  description 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Shell 
  minute, 
  umbilicate, 
  shortly 
  cylindrical, 
  thin, 
  

   shining, 
  horn-coloured 
  ; 
  spire 
  cylindrical, 
  being 
  almost 
  equally 
  

   wide 
  at 
  the 
  third, 
  fourth, 
  and 
  fifth 
  whorls 
  ; 
  sutures 
  impressed, 
  

   apex 
  rounded 
  ; 
  whorls 
  about 
  5^, 
  convex, 
  deeply 
  closely 
  

   transversely 
  striate, 
  excepting 
  the 
  apical 
  whorls, 
  which 
  are 
  

   smooth, 
  the 
  last 
  rounded 
  below 
  and 
  compressed 
  about 
  the 
  

   umbilicus 
  ; 
  aperture 
  erect, 
  somewhat 
  quadrate, 
  rounded 
  above 
  

   and 
  below, 
  exceeding 
  ^ 
  the 
  height 
  of 
  the 
  shell. 
  Peristome 
  

   slightly 
  thickened 
  and 
  expanded, 
  widely 
  so 
  at 
  the 
  columellar 
  

   margin 
  (which 
  in 
  the 
  type 
  is 
  longitudinally 
  chipped), 
  paler 
  

   than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  shell, 
  with 
  labrum 
  slightly 
  bent 
  inwards 
  

   about 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  columella 
  nearly 
  straight. 
  There 
  are 
  

   no 
  apertural 
  processes. 
  

  

  Height 
  1-57, 
  width 
  0*9 
  mm. 
  (type 
  in 
  Coll. 
  E. 
  R. 
  Sykes).

  In 
  the 
  very 
  large 
  series 
  of 
  shells 
  from 
  divers 
  localities 
  in 
  

   South 
  Africa 
  that 
  I 
  was 
  privileged 
  to 
  examine 
  no 
  duplicate 
  

   of 
  this 
  unique 
  specimen, 
  with 
  its 
  very 
  distinctive 
  characters, 
  

   could 
  be 
  identified.

  Of 
  the 
  eight 
  forms 
  consigned 
  to 
  the 
  synonymy, 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  

   well-authenticated 
  specimens 
  of 
  four 
  only, 
  viz. 
  amphodon, 
  

   eh'zabethcnsis, 
  endoplax, 
  and 
  frustillum 
  ; 
  and 
  I 
  agree 
  with 
  the 
  

   authors 
  that 
  these 
  names 
  cannot 
  stand. 
  Of 
  the 
  remaining 
  

   four, 
  viz. 
  charyhdica, 
  custodita, 
  keroea, 
  and 
  omicronaria, 
  

   having 
  seen 
  no 
  representatives, 
  I 
  can 
  offer 
  no 
  opinion 
  \ 
  but 
  I 
  

   am 
  prepared 
  to 
  accept 
  their 
  views.

  of 
  the 
  Survey, 
  10th 
  line 
  from 
  the 
  bottom, 
  the 
  

   substitution 
  of 
  the 
  word 
  labium 
  for 
  labrum 
  destroys 
  the 
  

   meaning 
  of 
  the 
  sentence. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  localities 
  may 
  now 
  be 
  added 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Edendale, 
  near 
  Maritzburg, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  

   Tongaat 
  River 
  on 
  the 
  Natal 
  coast. 
  

  

  Boettger 
  (1910) 
  places 
  this 
  species, 
  with 
  P. 
  tetrodus, 
  Bttg., 
  

   in 
  Pupilla 
  (see 
  note
