Polygyra Jacksoni, Bland. Shell narrowly umbilicate, depressed, shining, dark or pale horn-colored, little elevated above, striated, convex beneath, with finer almost obsolete stria?; whorls 6, slightly convex, gradually increasing, the last sud- denly deflected, contracted and above gibbously inflated behind the aperture; suture impressed; aperture oblique, lunate- circular, with 3 teeth; peristome thickened, brownish-red, shortly reflected, with the scarcely approaching margins joined by a white, linguiform, bicrural, deeply entering tooth, the basal margin with a strong, oblique, sinuous fold, the right with a deeply seated tooth. Greater diameter 7, lesser 6 mill.; height, 4 mill. Helix Jacksoni, Bland, Am. Journ. Conch., II. 371, PI. XXI. Fig. 8 (1866). — W. G. Binney, L. & Sh., I. 98, Fig. 174 (1869). Docdalochila Jacksoni, Tryon, Am. Journ. Conch., III. 67 (1867). Fort Gibson, Indian (Cherokee) Territory; Springfield, Mo. I am inclined to rank it among the species of the Texan Subregion. This species belongs to the same group as, and is most nearly allied to, P. Hazardi, Bland (P. plicata, Say), from which, however, it may be readily dis- tinguished by the very different character of the parietal and basal teeth. This species has no internal tubercle. Animal not P. Jacksoni. Fig. 175. Polygyra Troostiana, Lea. Shell rimately umbilicated, discoidal, slightly convex above, flat- tened below, obtusely carinated, with separated strong rib-like striae through
