Specific Characters. — Shell rather small, subglobose, slightly depressed, um- 

 bilicate; spire but slightly prominent ; margin of lip reflexed. 



Dlm.ensioiis. — Diam. 10 mm. H. 7 mm. 



Distribntion. — Becent : not known in Great Britain, but occurring in Germany, 

 Switzerland, France, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. 



Fossil : Waltonian Crag : Walton-on-Naze. 



Middle Pleistocene : Cannstadt. Newer Holocene : Sweden and Denmark 

 (Nordmann). 



BeniarJiS. — This, also an extra-British species, was recorded by Wood, though 

 with some doubt, from a post-Pliocene deposit at Copford in Essex, but the 

 identification is noAv thought to have been incorrect. An imperfect specimen now 

 in the British Museum (Natural History) was found at Walton in 1882 by the 

 soi-disant Prince of Mantua. Although not perfect Mr. R. G. Bell believed it to 

 be identical with the continental species, an opinion which is shared by Messrs. 

 Kennard and B. B. Woodward ; I have figured with it a Recent and perfect shell.
