FAUXULUS. 253 



F. glanvttliana by the angular lamella ''being less strongly 

 developed, and by the presence of a narrow perforation and a 

 basal plait, absent from the type" (Burnup). 



Fig. 8 represents a brown specimen from The Gorge, 

 Somerset East. The angular and parietal lamellae are almost 

 straight in these examples, the subcolumellar quite weak. The 

 suprapalatal and upper palatal plicae are contiguous, short, 

 the latter entering about twice as far as the former. Lower 

 palatal plica is long and curves downward very slightly 

 towards the inner end. The basal plica is nearly as long, but 

 smaller and straight. Length 4.2, diam. above aperture 1.95 

 mm. ; 8% whorls. 



9. FAUXULUS PONSONBYANUS (Morelet). PL 40, figs. 7, 9, 10. 



Shell minute, sinistral, imperforate, ovate-conoid, rather 

 thin, a little shining, tawny, silky, closely and straightly rib- 

 striate. Spire tapering gradually in an obtuse cone. Whorls 8, 

 planulate, joined by an impressed suture, the last constricted 

 at the base, gibbous, transversely sulcate, depressed around 

 the umbilical area. Aperture small, contracted, ringent, ob- 

 structed by two parallel, arcuate, parietal folds, which reach 

 far up, and a series of 6-7 marginal denticles; peristome a 

 little thickened, not dilated or reflected. Length 3, diam. 1% 

 mm. (Morelet).
