The original description is given above. Pfeiifer renamed 

 the species because in Bulimus the specific name was already 

 in use. His description from the Monographia Heliceorum is 

 also given. The figure is copied from Reeve. Not seen by us. 

 Cf. T. simplex, which may prove specifically identical with 

 oblongus. 



6. T. PERFORATUS (Liardet). PL 44, figs. 11, 12. 



"Shell small, acute, polished, dark-brown color; epidermis 

 thin; whorls 5y 2 , convex, spirally striate, with a white aper- 

 tural lamina; aperture oblique, pyriform; columellar lip 

 white, projecting from the base of the shell, expanding slightly 

 over region of umbilicus; outer lip impressed and of a deep 

 purple tint. 



"This shell is found embedded in the bark of dead logs. 

 The animal has the tips of the eye-pedicels bulbous" (Liar- 

 det).

Lamellaria perforata LIARDET, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1876, 

 p. 101, pi. 5, f. 8, 80. 



From the figure this seems to be somewhat more lengthened 

 than T. simplex. No dimensions are given, but the length is 

 indicated on the plate as 4% mm. The generic name used 

 by Mr. Liardet may have been an error for Lamellina, since 

 Lamellaria is a well-known genus of marine gastropods. 



7. T. SUBPERFORATUS (Suter). PL 44, figs. 14, 15. 



"Shell very small, conoidal, sub-perforate, thin, pellucid, 

 shining, light-corneous. The only sculpture consists of fine 

 oblique growth-lines. Color very light horny. Epidermis 

 very thin, light-brown, very easily rubbed off. Spire elevated
