 namon-brown, glossy, very lightly irregularly striate. Spire

 rounded below, very slightly and slowly ascending in front. 

 Aperture shortly oval, slightly oblique, without teeth; peri- 

 stome thin, whitish, the terminations approaching, the colu- 

 mellar margin dilated, other margins unexpanded, connected 

 by a short, thin parietal callous. Length 4, diam. to edge of 

 lip 2 mm. ; 4% whorls.

M. Dupotet observed only two tentacles, those bearing the 

 eyes. They are quite short; the animal is light-er or darker 

 gray, sometimes nearly black. 



Bourguignat notes that the examples from Bone and Bou- 

 Mecid are ordinarily plicatulate-striate, while those from the 

 environs of Bougie are more usually minutely striatulate. His 

 figure (copied in pi. 47, fig. 7) agrees well with that of Ter- 

 ver, and shows the margins of the peristome converging less 

 than in the specimen drawn in fig. 8. In younger individuals 

 the margins approach less and the parietal callous is longer 

 than in the old of the same lot. 



"Westerlund 's phrase "Marg. distantibus, non conniventi- 

 bus" is inexact for adult shells. Bourguignat described the 

 structure better: "bords marginaux tres-rapproches, conver- 

 gents et reunis par une f aible callosite. ' '
