This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... Family TORNATELLINID.E Pilsbry. Tornatellinidce Pils., Nautilus, xxiii, p. 122, March, 1910. Orthurethra with a very long, narrow kidney without differentiated ureter. Respiratory surface of the lung plain. Genitalia of Achatinellid type, except that the appendix has no retractor muscle; the penial retractor being simple and inserted at the distal end of the penis; jaw and teeth as in Achatinellidce, the teeth being rastriform, in oblique, V-shaped rows. The shell is small, glossy, longer than wide, globose, ovate or conic, perforate or closed, the aperture armed with a parietal lamella and usually one or two columellar lamellae or folds. Distribution: Islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This family is related, by its rudimentary albumen gland and highly developed, multifid prostate gland to the Amastridc e and Achatinellidce. In the pallial organs Auriculella and Tornatellaria closely resemble the Achatinellidce. The lung is very long, not visibly veined, the mantle over it largely opaque white, with or without black stripes (Auriculella), or clear, spotted with white (Tornatellaria). Kidney very long, band-like; the short pericardium at its base (Auriculella pulchra). The genitalia are intermediate in character between Achatinellidce and Amastridce; the spermatheca is lodged close to the prostate gland, and has a long duct, as in the former family, and the penial retractor is simple, attached to the penis only, as in the Amastridce, though the attachment is apical, as. in Achatinellidce. The appendix is shorter than in either family, not exceeding the penis much in length, and it is not enlarged distally. The vas deferens and retractor are inserted at the distal end of the penis, the retractor being inserted distally on the lung...
