retusa Jooss, Jahrb. Nassau. Ver. Nat., vol. 64, p. 911, pi. 62. 

 I have not seen the description of this species, which may 

 belong elsewhere. 



49. PUPILLA ECTINA (Bgt.). Pupa ectina Bourguignat, 

 Paleont. Moll. Algeria, 1862, p. 76, pi. 4, f. 1-3. Pliocene? 

 Oued Tademit, Algeria. 



50. PUPILLA MICHAUDI Wenz, Senckenbergiana, i, July, 1919, 

 p. 66 ; new name for Pupa inorn-ata Michaud, Journ. de Con- 

 chyl., 1862, p. 75, pi. 4, f. 5. Hauterive (Drome), Pliocene. 



51. PUPILLA PAL^A (Bgt.). Pupa pcilaa Bourguignat, Cat. 

 Moll. terr. et fluv. des environs de Paris a 1'epoque Quater- 

 iiaire, 1869, p. 8, pi. 3, f. 16-18 (in La Seine. I, Le Bassin 

 Parisien aux ages antehistoriques). Joinville-le-Pont, sabliere 

 Deligny. From the figure it appears to have a longer apical 

 cone and stronger striae than P. muscorum, but it may per- 

 haps be equivalent to the mut. rwsclaryana, having parietal 

 and lower-palatal teeth. Probably Pleistocene.

The shell is small, globose-conoid, thin, smooth, rimate, of 

 5 compactly coiled whorls, the last half-whorl ascending ob- 

 liquely, in close contact. Aperture toothless, directed obliquely 

 upward, rounded, with straight parietal margin; peristome 

 slightly expanded, thickened within, the parietal border barely 

 free from the preceding whorl.
