The author proposes a new subgenus of Piliscus for this shell, 

 to which he gives the name of Allerya, and he describes a second 

 species of the subgenus — Piliscus (Allerya) Krebsi, Morch, from St.

An adult IL ncmoralis was found provided with a small fleshy 

 column, about i centimetre = 2/5ths of an inch long, capable of 

 contraction and extension, truncate at the extremity, and situated 

 towards the root of the tail and a little behind the shell. When 

 the animal was crawling, the appendage was almost vertical.
