The type figure is copied, fig. 7. It is not known where 

 the very small, toothless form which served as type of this 

 species occurs; but it is doubtless merely a local race or 

 colony of the prevalent larger form known as amicta Parr. 

 It is unfortunate that the species was first described from a 

 peripheral mutation. 



Var. amicta Parreyss. Shell deeply rimate, cylindric-tur- 

 rited, solid, smooth, bluish-white; spire long, corneous above, 

 gradually terminating in a rather obtuse cone ; suture simple. 

 Whorls 9, scarcely convex, the last about two-sevenths the 

 total length, subtuberculate-compressed at base. Aperture 

 nearly vertical, truncate-oblong, fleshy-brown within, with 3 

 teeth: the first angular, second standing apart deep on the 

 belly of the penult whorl, the third fold-like, deep on the colu- 

 mella. Peristome white, a little expanded ; the margins some- 

 what unequal, right margin toothless. Length 12, diam. 3 

 mm.; apert. 3% mm. long, 3 wide (Pfr.).
