Shell perforate, cylindric or tapering, 4 to 7 whorls re- 

 maining in adults in which the summit is truncate and closed 

 by a spiral convex septum ; about 8 to 10 whorls having been 

 lost by successive breakages. Aperture subvertical, ovate, the 

 outer lip simple, obtuse; columella vertical, slightly concave, 

 continuous with the basal lip; columellar margin reflexed. 

 Apex globular, smooth, fine striae appearing on the third 

 whorl; young shells with concave lateral outlines. 



Genitalia (pi. 65, fig. 46, x 3). The penis is a rather slen- 

 der sack, with terminal retractor and vas deferens, the latter 

 imbedded in its integument. The vagina is longer than the 

 penis; duct of the spermatheca short. 



The pallia! organs (pi. 65, fig. 44, x 3) resemble those of 

 Limicolaria and Achatina in the type of venation of the lung, 

 but differ in the much shorter kidney (k), less than double 

 the length of the pericardium. The secondary or gut ureter 

 (s. u.) is closed. 



The right ocular and tentacular muscles are united prox- 

 imally with the columellar muscle. The pharyngeal retractor 

 unites with the left ocular band (pi. 65, fig. 45). The re- 

 tractor of the penis is a branch of the right ocular band. The 

 salivary glands are united around the esophagus (pi. 65, figs. 

 43, 44, s. gl.). 



The jaw is arcuate, with rather weak vertical striae. 



The radula (page ix, fig. 5) has a narrow tricuspid central
