Vertigo nylanderi STERKI, Nautilus xxii, Feb., 1909, p. 107. 



By the fine striation it has some resemblance to V. gouldti 

 and might be regarded as an extreme form of V. g. paradoxa, 

 as Dr. Sterki has suggested to me. The color is more that 

 of V. bollesiana. It differs from those, and from all other 

 American species, by the deeper immersion of the long lower 

 palatal fold, and the deep impression in the back, over the 

 palatals. 



It is remarkable that this strongly characterized species has 

 been found in only a single locality. Type no. 1075 Sterki
