STAURODON. 225 



iirst whorl smooth. The whorls are moderately convex, the 

 last without grooves or crest behind the lip. The aperture 

 is rounded-piriform, containing 5 teeth. The angular lamella 

 is a blunt, callous tubercle close to and in adults connected 

 with the outer termination of the lip. The parietal lamella 

 is long, high, and stands remote from the edge of the parietal 

 callus. Columellar lamella short, entering horizontally. 

 There are two rather short but high palatal folds, the lower 

 one longer. No palatal callus. The peristome is slightly ex- 

 panded, thick, of lighter tint than the shell; outer margin a 

 little straightened in the middle, connected with the columellar 

 margin by a thick, straight, cord-like callus across the parietal 

 wall, bearing the angular lamella. 



Length 1.7 to 1.8, diam. 1 mm. ; 4 1 / r 4 1 / whorls.

The cord-like parietal callus and the structure of the angu- 

 lar tubercle are characteristic. 



la. 8. saxicola seminulum Lowe (PL 15, fig. 12). Differs 

 from P. saxicola by the smaller, even very minute size, the 

 whorls more swollen, suture deeper, shape more obese, the 

 aperture triplicate, the folds unequal, arranged in a triangle, 

 the ventral largest, the columellar and palatal smaller and 

 snbequal; the subangularly somewhat straightened lip bent, 

 inward; the upper denticle somewhat distinct inward (Lowe).
