face under a lens showing very minute and close, finely beaded spiral 

 stria throughout. Whorls 5, the first planorboid with sunken tip, 

 forming an obtuse apex ; last whorl obliquely descending.

 within ; peristome reflexed, recurved, deep rose colored, broad and 

 spreading below ; columella expanded above, its inner edge straight 

 and oblique; parietal callus bluish. Alt. 57, diam. 31 ; alt. of aper-

The granulose striae and satin zones of the surface distinguish this 

 from S. planidens, aside from the tooth and differently formed col- 

 umella of the latter. 



S. UNIDEXTATUS Sowerby. PI. 22, fig. 56. 



Shell imperforate or nearly so, ovate, swollen, solid and strong; 

 part roseate, part white, under a yellowish-brown cuticle. Surface 

 having inconspicuous growth-lines, a shallow malleation, and dense 

 microscopic spiral striation. Whorls nearly 5, the first planorboid, 

 the last obliquely descending, large and oval. 



Aperture somewhat oblique, small, somewhat over half the total 

 length, w T hite inside ; peristome reflexed and recurved, dark broivn 

 throughout, the outer lip bearing a whitish tooth-like nodule in the 

 middle. Columella narrow, hardly wider above, foldless; and 

 together with the rather heavy parietal callus, dark brown through- 

 out. Alt. 53, diam. 32 mill. ; aperture measured outside peristome, 

 alt, 29, width 20 mill.

A rare species. The sculpture is like S. erythrosoma, differing 

 from planidens in being malleated. The tooth of outer lip, brown 

 peristome and obese form readily distinguish the species.
