130 THE NAUTILUS. 
Patulastra? (Punctum ?) pugetensis n. s. 
Shell minute, pale greenish yellow, nearly smooth, the first whorl 
and a half smooth, the others with fine, silky, close-set, hardly ele- 
vated lines or minute regular riblets, somewhat flexuous and in 
harmony with the incremental lines; form moderately elevated, the 
whorls inflated with a deep suture, and, in the adult, rapidly en- 
larging near the aperture in the latter part of the last whorl; aper- 
ture large, quite oblique, almost circular, the segment of the body 
between the two lips about one-sixth of the whole; umbilicus ample, 
scalar, exhibiting part of all the whorls which make, in adults, from 
three to three and a quarter volutions. 
Alt. 0°5; max. diam. 1:5, min. diam. 1°2 mm. Habitat, Seattle, 
Wash., under leaves. 
Pyramidula? Randolphii n. s. 
Shell minute, reddish brown, with dull silky lustre, elevated, with 
three and a half rather inflated whorls ; sculpture only of fine incre- 
mental lines, barely perceptible under an ordinary triplet lens; su- 
ture deep, periphery rounded, slightly less so in the immature shell 
but seemingly never angular ; aperture obovate, somewhat oblique, 
wider than high, the body segment about one third of the whole; 
top dome-like, base full, umbilicus small, subcylindric, deep. 
Alt. 0°75, max. diam. 1°4, min. diam. 1:25 mm. Habitat, with 
the last. 
This little shell recalls Conulus fulvus in form, but wants the 
polish and imperforate base, and is more elevated and inflated than 
C. fulvus of the same number of whorls. It is not unlike the little 
Helix granum Strebel on a smaller scale. It is named in honor of 
the gentleman who collected it, who is deeply interested in the mol- 
lusk fauna of the Sound region.
