Form major West. Length to 5% mm. Armenia ( Wester- 

 lund, Synopsis, 1897, p. 105). 



Var. exigua Mousson. Smaller, not exceeding 3-3^ mm., 

 dull violaceous corneous, whorls 3-31/2, palatal teeth very 

 minute. It approaches most to the specimens of Attica. Corfu 

 (Mouss.). Hesse found similar examples at the foot of Hy- 

 mettos, Athens (Jahrb. d. m. Ges., ix, 333). 



Hesse, writing of Grecian specimens, says that "the denti- 

 tion is extraordinarily variable. In all examples except the 

 small ones from Athens, I observed the angular lamella.. 

 Those from Lykabettos (near Athens) and from Prevesa have 

 only one tooth on the columella, those from Hymettos and 

 also Corfu have always two, of which the lower is sometimes 

 rudimentary but always perceptible. Of the Epirotic exam- 

 ples one has two columellar teeth, and between the upper one 

 and the parietal lamella, two other little denticles" (Jahrb. d.. 

 mal. Ges., ix, 1882, p. 333).
