suture slightly impressed. Whorls 6^-7, slightly convex, the last whorl 

 ascending very little near the mouth. Aperture nearly vertical, semioval, 

 obliquely truncated, with a strong re-entering bifid palatal plait on tlie 

 callus uniting the margins of the peristome, a spiral columellar lamina 

 commencing at a distance within the mouth, and four tubercular teeth just 

 inside the peristome* — one columellar, two joined together at their base, 

 at the lowest part of tlie aperture, and one, very small, inside the right 

 margin and opposite to the large parietal plait. Peristome white, slightly 

 expanded, except near the junction with the last whorl, where the margin 

 is slightly curved back. Length O'lS, diameter 0-06, length of aperture 

 04 inch. 



This form, of which I have received four specimens from Col. Bed- 

 dome, is distinguished from its allies by being quite smooth. As in the 

 case of some of the allied forms, it is not improbable that in old specimens 

 the peristome may be more broadly expanded and the palatal teeth may- 

 become more or less obsolete.
