110 HELIX-LUCERNA. 



Var. SUBSLOANEANA Pilsbry. PL 27, fig. 69. 



The form is as in typical H. tridentina ; spiral bands obscure or 

 absent ; the entire surface yellowish-brown, more or less obscurely 

 streaked with lighter. General appearance much like H. sloaneana, 

 but more carinate, perforate, and the basal lip tridentate. 



Alt. 14, diam. 28 mill.

Imperforate, depressed ; periphery rounded or obtusely keeled ; 

 solid, opaque, brownish above, paler beneath, all over very densely 

 minutely granulate, the granules arranged in rows like incremental 

 striaB ; spire low, convex, rounded, apex plane, suture impressed at 

 apical whorl, then becoming linear ; whorls 4? to 5, the apical 

 slightly convex, the following flat, the last convex above and 

 beneath, deeply deflexed anteriorly, deeply 3-grooved or scrobiculate 

 behind the peristome, the outer groove the smallest. Aperture 

 sub-horizontal, transverse-oval ; peristome broadly expanded all 

 around, adnate over the umbilicus, terminations joined by a 

 parietal callus rather heavy at its edge ; basal margin bearing four 

 teeth within, the outer one quite small, joined to the third tooth by 

 a common elevation. Alt. 15, diam. 34 ; alt. 17, diam. 37 mill.

Quite a distinct form. Body-whorl convex, depressed orbicular, 

 often slightly keeled. Whorls of the spire (except the apical two) 

 flattened, as in the preceding species of this group ; not convex, as 

 they are in all of the following species. Outer tooth of basal mar- 

 gin, and the corresponding scrobiculation behind the peristome 

 much smaller than the adjacent tooth, sometimes even obsolete, 

 (c/. H. atavus, in which the outer tooth is as large as the adjacent 

 one.)

Imperforate, depressed semi-globose, solid, slightly shining, upper 

 surface brown, spire darker, periphery narrowly white banded, base 

 paler ; surface densely, minutely granulate all over, the granules in 

 rows in the direction of incremental strife ; spire low, dome-shaped, 

 obtuse; apex planulate ; sutures not impressed except at tip and
