EUROPEAN SPECIES OP VERTIGO. 183 



of a corneous-fulvous tint. Summit obtuse, smooth, and of a 

 paler tint. 6 convex whorls, regularly increasing, separated 

 by a deep suture. Aperture slightly oblique, rounded-lunate, 

 having 4 strong, elevated denticles: one in the middle of 

 the convexity of the penult whorl, a second on the columellar, 

 2 other palatals on the internal callus of the peristome. 

 Peristome double, the first, interior, is indicated within by a 

 whitish callus, and externally by a swelling; the second peris- 

 tome is simple, acute and a little reflected. Between the two 

 peristomes the last whorl is a little constricted, this being 

 very marked at the base. The margins are united by a nearly 

 invisible callus of the same color as the rest of the shell. 

 Length 2y 2 , diam. 1 mm. (Bgt.). 



France: around Vannes (Morbihan), under stones in shady 

 places.

The strong palatal callus and external crest, the rather 

 elongate shape and four teeth appear to be the salient charac- 

 ters of this form, which is more slender than the related 

 V. moulinsiana according to Bourguignat's account, by which 

 it is solely known. 



56. VERTIGO GRAELLSIANA Servain. 



Shell minute, rimate-perforate, oblong, very glossy, smooth, 

 subdiaphanous, reddish-corneous. Spire rather long, obtuse 

 at summit, the apex large. Whorls 5, convex, regularly and 

 slowly increasing, separated by a rather deep suture; the 

 last whorl small, rounded, straight above, angular below, 

 around the perforation, the angle confluent with a swelling 

 behind the peristome; contracted and then gibbous behind 

 the lip, the gibbosity paler, strongly convex, transverse, join- 

 ing the basal angle. Aperture vertical, semiovate or sub- 

 trigonal, wide above, narrowed and angular below, 4-plicate, 

 as follows : one median, lamellif orm parietal ; one strong colu- 

 mellar ; and two equal palatals, in the middle of the convexity
