as sliow in a front view only tlie columellar plait, or only the 

 postlabial tooth, are easily confused with P. tntradentata, 

 Burnup, which, however, is more abbreviate, with rounder 

 apertiiro and (iiier sculpture.

A minute simple-mouthed species, with particularly broid 

 apex, much flattened.

Slightly more ventricose than the last, which it resembles 

 in its simple mouth, untrammelled by any processes whatso- 

 ever. The types of both these species are, unfortunately, no 

 longer in existence, having baen accidentally broken. 



Hab. Pretoria, Transvaal.

Hab. Port Elizabeth. 



Evidently a rare species. We refigure it from a drawing by 

 Mr. Burnup of a co-type, which gives a better representation 

 than did the original figure. The measurements of this 

 specimen are : — 



Alt. 1-87 mm.; lat. 4th, 5th, and 6th whorls 0*84, 6th 

 whorl to labium 0*9 1.

 Ihipa inco)ispicua, Burnup, M.S. 



J fab. Griqualand East (c coll. Si/kes). 



Wc refigure this species, the original description and repre- 

 .sentation being faulty. The " teeth of the peristome, which 

 with difficulty arc distinguished," are found not to have any 

 real existence, the mouth of the type having been clogged 

 with certain foreign particles.
