Var. cypria Kobelt. PI. 45, fig. 31. 



The suture between the last two whorls descends more rap- 

 idly than between preceding whorls; the parietal lamella stands 

 somewhat higher than in C. rothi ; no trace of a palatal plica. 

 Length somewhat over 7.5 mm. (Kobelt).

2. C. SAULCYI (Bourguignat). PI. 45, fig. 34. 



Shell acuminate-oblong, fragile, smooth, glassy, transparent. 

 Spire acuminate, the apex a little obtuse. Whorls 8, nearly 

 flat or slightly convex, regularly and slowly increasing, sepa- 

 rated by a paler, superficial, duplicated suture; the last whorl 

 half the total length. Aperture long, contracted, very narrow, 

 bilamellate; palatal lamella in fully adult shells small, the other 

 lamella terminating the columella. Outer margin strongly 

 arched forward; margins joined by a callus. Length 6.5, diam. 

 2 mm. (Bgt.).

Distinguished from the other species by the excessively con- 

 tracted aperture and very short, almost wanting columella. 

 Nothing is said of a parietal lamella; it is apparently wanting. 



3. C. UNIDENTATA (Jickeli). PI. 45, fig. 35. 



The cylindric-fusiform shell is thin, translucent, smooth, 

 glassy, white. Spire long-conic, the apex obtuse; whorls 6, 

 flattened, regularly increasing, separated by a duplicated suture, 

 the last whorl descending in front and longer than the spire. 

 Aperture oblong, narrowed and acutely angular above, dilated 

 towards the base. The columellar margin is covered with a thin 

 callus and carries in- the middle of its length a fold, below which
