32 C^ECILIOIDES OF GREECE AND WESTERN ASIA. 



abruptly truncate at the base; peristome a little arching forward 

 below the middle. Length 4| to 5, diam. 1.5, aperture 2.12 to 

 2.25 mm. long. (Bttg.) 



Caucasus: Mamutli, type loc. ; Borshom, in flotsam of the 

 Kura. Asia Minor: Sarus river drift at Adana; Samsun (Bttg.)

This species is comparable to C. jani de B., having the 

 sharply truncate columella of that, but it does not reach nearly 

 the size 5.5 to 6.75 mm. long, 2.25 to 2.5 wide. C. jani has 

 also a much more ventricose last whorl and distinctly more 

 acute apex. (Bttg.) 



26. C. TORTA (Mousson). 



Aperture at the base a little compressed; columella incurved, 

 terminating in a twisted thread. This species resembles that of 

 Lombardy in general appearance, so that for the time being it 

 may be regarded as a variety of it, characterized by having the 

 aperture slightly contracted towards the base, and the columella 

 abruptly truncate. The single example, taken at Sayda, is not 

 sufficient to establish well these differences. (Mousson). 



Syria: Sayda (Prof. Bellardi).

A form of doubtful status. It was quite unnecessarily re- 

 named by Bourguignat. 



27. C. MICHONIANA Bourguignat. PL 3, figs. 48, 49. 



Shell minute, oblong, fragile, glossy, transparent, glassy, 

 smooth. Spire short, tapering-acuminate, the apex a little 

 obtuse. Whorls 6, a little convex, irregularly increasing, the 

 first minute, last large, separated by a somewhat impressed, 

 duplicated suture; last whorl slightly convex, more than half
