Shell conic, glossy, pellucid, white ; body and spire of about 

 equal length; the latter consisting of four very gradually taper- 

 ing, minutely striated volutions, well defined by the suture, 

 terminating in a somewhat obtuse apex ; aperture semloval, or 

 auriform, rounded both above and below ; columella provided 

 with two tooth-like folds, and sometimes a small rudimentary 

 one above the others ; outer lip with a thickened margin, and 

 in its centre a tooth-like knob. Length hardly a line; breadth 

 one-third its length. 



This is the most minute of all the land shells, and is found 

 pretty generally diffused at the roots of grass, or on mossy 

 banks, in woods, and other moist situations. 



Genus XII — ACME Hartmann. 



Shell subcylindrical, terminating in a blunted apex ; aperture 

 ovate, simple ; outer lip simple, thin, slightly reflected over the 

 columella, forming a subumbilicus.
