A specimen from Lagunillas is drawn,, fig. 34, 35. This 

 shell is 12 mm. long, 2.5 wide, with a trifle over 10 whorls. 

 In this typical form only the last third or less of the last 

 whorl is free. 



In another form of the species, also taken alt Lagunillas by 

 Wright, fully a half whorl projects free (pi. 33, fig. 36), and 

 the shell often has an additional half whorl; length 12.3, 

 diam. 2.3 mm. This form approaches the preceding species. 

 The teeth of 0. gonostoma are stated by Binney to resemble 

 those of Subulina octona (Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., iii, p. 100) . 



33. 0. MICROSTOMA ('Gundl.' Pfr.). PI. 33, figs. 37, 38, 43, 



44. 



Shell imperf orate, cylindric-turrite, closely rib-striate, little 

 shining, waxen. Spire elongate, slowly tapering, the apex 

 rounded. Whorls 9%, a little convex, the last slightly more 

 than one-fifth the total length, slightly tapering basally. 

 Aperture oblique, angulate-oval ; peristome simple, unex- 

 panded, the right margin a little arched forward, columellar 

 margin somewhat 'calloused. Length 14, dia^n. 3, aperture 

 3x1.5 mm. (Pfr.).
