63a. Var. charmettensis Pilsbry, n. subsp. PL 19, fig. 46. 



The shell is pale brown with darker streaks preceding the 

 well-curved varices. Smooth whitish embryonic shell of 2% 

 whorls; the following whorls sculptured with fine impressed 

 lines or grooves at irregular intervals, rather close at first, 

 but becoming widely spaced on the last whorl, where they do 

 not extend quite to the base. There are also short, coarse, 

 oblique, rounded folds below the suture, in the last four 

 whorls. These folds are low but distinct and subregular, and 

 hardly crenulate the suture. There are about 5 varices on 

 the last whorl. Aperture is elliptical-ovate, vertical; outer 

 lip is strongly arched forward, with a projecting point or 

 small lobe at its lower third. The columella is regularly 

 concave and very abruptly truncate. Length 19.7, diam. 6, 

 aperture 8 mm. whorls 7%.
