Partula pyramis HARTMAN Proc. A. N. S. Phila. 1886, p. 

 34, pi. 2, f. 12. SYKES, Proc. Malac. Soc. Lond. v, p. 198. 



In coloring, this species is like P. turneri except that it has. 

 no band below the periphery ; but it is a much more slender 

 shell with a deeper suture. It stands very close to P. eximia, 

 but differs by the more swollen last whorl and consequently 

 wider aperture, and by the greener color. Described and 

 figured from two cotypes in Hartman collection, no. 4305 

 Carnegie Museum.

Dr. Hartman 's description and a copy of his figure (fig. 9) 

 are given. The specimens before me from Sitova Island (fig. 

 10) are smaller, with a narrower lip than the Aura Island 

 type. The apex is like that of P. brazieri-, later whorls are
