51. VERTIGO SUBSTRIATA Jeffreys. PI. 17, fig. 10. 



" Shell oval or subfusiform, rather thin, and semitrans- 

 parent, glossy, pale yellowish-horn-color, very strongly and 

 obliquely striate and almost ribbed in the line of growth, but 

 less so on the body whorl, which is faintly striate spirally, 

 periphery rounded : epidermis rather thick : whorls 4%, very 

 convex or cylindrical, and suddenly increasing in bulk, the 

 penultimate whorl slightly exceeding in breadth the last, which 

 occupies about one-half of the shell: spire short, very abrupt 

 and bluntly pointed: suture remarkably deep: mouth semi- 

 oval, contracted or sinuous in the middle of the outer edge; 

 teeth from four to six, viz. from one to three (usually two) 

 on the pillar [parietal wall] , one on the pillar lip, and two or 

 three on the inside of the outer lip, the last springing from 

 a white rib ; in half grown specimens the pillar lip has a spiral 

 or longitudinal fold. Outer lip thin and slightly reflected, 

 strengthened [externally] by a strong rib, which is placed 

 very near the opening the mouth; outer edge abruptly in- 

 flected, inner lip thickened in the adult ; umbilicus small and 

 narrow, contracted by a keel or ridge at the base of the shell. 

 L. 0.065. B. 0.04 inch." (Jeffreys).
