3. U. VOLUBILIS (Morelet). 



''Shell cylindric-subulate, slightly truncate, smooth, pel- 

 lucid whitish. Whorls 19, a little convex, the last disjoined, 

 cylindric, forming an obrotund, oblique aperture; peristome 

 free throughout, a little thickened, narrowly reflexed. 

 Length 15, diam. 3 mm." (Morel.).

The internal structure of the true Mt. Guajaybon volubilis 

 is apparently unknown. Pfeiffer placed saxosa Poey as a 

 synonym of volubilis, but in Monographia, vi, p. 372, he says 

 that the axis of the latter has a weak spiral thread. 



114. U. CRASSILABRIS (Arango). 



Shell rimate, subcylindric, rather solid, obliquely remotely 

 lirate, brownish ; spire shortly truncate, the suture subcrenu- 

 late. Whorls remaining 11, rather flat, the last obsoletely 

 carinate, shortly solute; peristome white, reflexed, especially 

 the right margin. Internal column having one weak lamina 

 below. Length 12.5, diam. 3 mm.

This group as originally defined must be abandoned, as it 

 is now known that the reduction of the lamellae to a single 

 sub-basal one occurs in various phyla. The section is here 

 retained for a number of groups, perhaps more allied to one 

 another than to species of other sections, but still so hetero- 

 geneous as to make a general definition almost impracticable.
