The true M. Columbianus is correctly described and figured in Terr. Moll,. Ii. 
and III. It is very readily distinguished by its peristome, the basal margin of 
which is horizontal in its direction, with a slight thickening or projection before 
it reaches the base of the shell. It does not appear to range as far southerly as 
California. Northerly it has been found to 59° latitude. 
The form called labiosa by Dr. Gould (see Vol. II.) is recognized by its very 
circular aperture, its widely reflected, sinuous peristome, sharp on its outer edge, 
not flattened on its face. Its upper surface is elevated as in Columbianus. It is 
sometimes toothed. Originally found in the region of Astoria, Mr. Hemphill 
has collected it at Kalama on the Columbia River, forty miles below Portland, 
and also from Deer Lodge Valley, Montana, and in the Coeur d’Aléne Moun- 
tains, Idaho. (See p. 39.) , 
My Figs. 4, 5 of Plate I. show the toothed variety from Idaho and an enlarged 
view of the epidermis. It is less hirsute than armigerus. 
The form called armigerus by Ancey (Le Naturaliste) is the one common in 
California, ranging as far south as 37° 20’. I have figured it on Pl. I. Fig. 12, 
as well as an enlarged view of the epidermis. It is the most densely hirsute of 
the group. It is a more globose shell below than the typical form. The peris- 
tome is narrow, much less developed; the parietal tooth is long and narrow, 
sometimes wanting. It has much the appearance below of a large Stenotrema 
germanum, with which species I have confounded it rather than with Colum- 
bianus. I have no doubt it will eventually be considered a distinct species. 
Mesodon devius, Grp. 
As restricted (see p. 36), this species seems to be confined to the Oregon 
region,
