External peristome of 16.short, rather obtuse, barred, yellow
teeth, whose points are bent inwards so as to penetrate
the apertures of the inner peristome, which is of a brownish
deep yellow colour, dome-shaped, supported on 16 carinated
and laterally-toothed processes of stouter texture, intermediate
with the outer teeth. Lid hemispherical, with a
small central prominence. Calyptra shorter and narrower
than the capsule, laterally torn.
Very like Brt/um punctatum, but easily known by the
short lid, and the very curious inner peristome. Only one
species is known.—W. W.
