To remember the tumid boomer individualism of Bill Clinton's years in office, or the Wile E. Coyote triumphalism of Bush's, or the studiously cool cosmopolitanism of Obama's, you need only to look at the cultures over which they presided; even the creative work that was conceived and created in open protest against them reflects it.

At turns tumid and failed poetic, the piece relies on the usual suspects: a micro-survey in praise of Greek thought, which in the hands of a more knowledgeable writer could have pointed at the tension between Plato and Aristotle's views on beauty; and a passage on eros, striving, and longing, that really needed to reference Aristophanes, Virgil, and Bernini.

(Original description) The thin, white, tumid, subequally biconical shell is subangulated and cancellated, with longitudinal and spiral threads. It is subscalar, with a squat, conical, small, yellow-tipped spire, an impressed suture, a tumid body whorl, a short rounded base, and a triangular, small- pointed, longish, one-sided aperture. Sculpture : Longitudinals—below the suture the whorls are closely scored with little concave bars, the cusps of the old sinuses.

The shell is shining and subcrystalline. It is fleshy-white, marked by remote reddish dots on the supra sutural rib. The 8 whorls are separated by impressed sutures. They are subconcave above, a little tumid and very obtusely subcarinated below.
|
|
The frontals are three times as long as they are wide. It possessed slightly tumid, but styliform marginal teeth. The inner teeth were large and obtuse, but there pedicles were only moderately high. The species lacked any signs of ring-vertebrae.
|
|
The shell has an elongate-ovate shape. Its length measures 1.8 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are tumid, obliquely immersed. The four whorls of the teleoconch are flattened, strongly tabulated, shouldered at the summit, and strongly contracted at the periphery.
|
|
The apex is eroded, but evidently small. The shell contains 7 or 8 whorls, of regular increase, quite flat, except the last, which is very slightly constricted below the suture, a very little tumid on the upper slope, sharply carinated but not much angulated at the suture, and very tumid on the base. The suture is linear, strongly defined above by the square furrow lying between the lines of tubercles which marginate the suture above and below. On the body whorl it becomes slightly pouting, from the projection of the carina and the slight infrasutural constriction.
|
|
The length of the shell is 5 mm, its diameter 2.2 mm. (Original description) The cylindrical shell has a fusiform shape. It contains 4 whorls, rounded, somewhat tumid. The protoconch is obtuse; on the primary whorl there are 3 faint spiral striations visible.
|
|
The broad siphonal canal is unnotched and of moderate length. The subsutural cord is strong and more tumid than in Toxiclionella haliplex.Sowerby, G. B. II, "Descriptions of forty-eight new species of shells." Proceedings of the Zoological society of London. Vol.XVIII p. 253.
|
|
The colour is porcellaneous, ivory-white, glossy. The spire is remarkably narrow, high, drawn out and conical. The apex is broken. There are five whorls remaining, but probably 8-9 in all, of very regular, but rather rapid increase, high, oblique, slightly tumid.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 19 mm, its diameter 10 mm. (Original description) The shellis oval, biconical, and a little tumid. The spire is high and conical, the base long and pointed. The surface is smooth and feebly spiralled, and white.
|
|
They are very sharply carinated at the canal, the under edge of which in particular is prominent and expressed. Below the canal they contract into the suture. The base of the shell is tumid. The suture is strongly impressed and very distinct.
|
|
The size of the shell varies between 40 mm and 50 mm. (Original description by Watson) The high shell is concavely conical. It is carinated, sculptured on the upper whorls, and smooth or wrinkled below. It is thin, with a tumid lirated base.
|
|
The shell is transparent, when fresh, and chalky white with age. It has a turbinate-conical shape with approximately 5 1/2 regularly coiled, convex, rounded whorls. The last whorl is large, tumid and encompasses ca. 2/3 of the shell height.
|
|
The length of the shell varies between 20 mm and 30 mm. The shell has an ovo-fusiform shape. The whorls are tumid, occasionally faintly angulated, occasionally rounded (most frequently the body whorl). The aperture is longer than the spire and not much dilated.
|
|
The shell grows to a length of 10 mm. The shell has a conical shape, with a broad and tumid base and a wide narrowed umbilicus. The surface is cross-hatched like a file. When fresh, the shell is translucent with a pearly sheen.
|
|
The conical spire is rather depressed and rises regularly to the extreme tip. The apex is round and prominent. The five whorls are flat and sloping above. They are carinated below the carina towards the mouth slightly openly constricted and then tumid on the base.
|
|
The 3.5–4 mm shell is tumid (swollen), oblique-oval shell. The umbos are broad well and well behind the midpoint. The surface (periostracum) is glossy with regular concentric ribbing. The colour is grey to cream tinged and pinkvor orange from the animal inside.
|
|
They are tinged with blackish brown. The subsequent whorls are turreted, tumid and brightly ochraceous. They are ornamented with strong longitudinal ribs, which number eleven on the body whorl. These are crossed by spiral close striae, which are not shown on elder worn specimens.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 14 mm, its diameter 7 mm. (Original description) The turreted shell is fairly solid and has a fusiform shape. It contains 7 whorls, nearly flat and strongly carinated. The body whorl is tumid, about as long as the spire , excavated below.
|
|
The profile-lines are hardly interrupted by the sutures. The apex consists of 1¼ broad, depressed, and flatly rounded, smooth whorls. The eight whorls increase very slowly. They are short, the last very small, being scarcely at all more tumid than the rest, and having a short conical base.
|
|
The suture is distinctly impressed. The 6–7 whorls are moderately convex or nearly flat, sometimes tumid just below the sutures, and either smooth or longitudinally plicate. The folds are usually obsolescent, and visible only for a short distance below the sutures. The shell is spirally obsoletely striate.
|
|
The eight whorls increase regularly in size. They are a little rounded, angulated at the carina, rather tumid on the base, and have a wide umbilicus. The suture is angulated and well defined, but a little filled up by the carina of the overlying whorl. The aperture is (apparently) perpendicular and semioval.
|
|
The slope from the protoconch to the shoulder of the body whorl is slightly concave. The fasciole between the shoulder and the suture behind it is depressed, with two strong spiral sulci running in it, the interspaces rather tumid. The coloration of the shell is peculiar. The pattern recalls Conus taeniatus and Conus tessulatus.
|
|
The length of the shell of this species attains 3.25 mm, its diameter 2 mm. (Original description) The umbilicate shell is tumid, ovate and constricted at the ends. It hasa pale lemon colour, with two irregular narrow greenish bands especially noticeable on the ventral surface. It is smooth, polished except at the ends where it is spirally grooved.
|
|
They are feebly angulated in the middle. The body whorl is large, tumid, and has a swollen base prolonged into a broad triangular lop- sided snout, which is not at all emarginate in front. The suture is very slight indeed, but distinct. The aperture is narrowly oblong, pointed above, and having no siphonal canal in front.
|
|
They are conical above and cylindrical below the keel. The body whorl is slightly tumid, and contracts very gradually to a long and small siphonal canal. The suture is extremely minute as each whorl laps up on the one above it. The aperture is oblong, pointed above, and drawn out into a long narrow siphonal canal below.
|
|
The whorls increase regularly, but rapidly. The body whorl is large and tumid, with a protracted rounded base cut off on the left by an oblique, scarcely concave line. There is scarcely any snout, and the shell is truncated obliquely towards the point of the columella, which projects in a rectangular prominence. The suture is linear and impressed.
|
|
They are of slow increase, are biconical, contracting (with a straight outline) from the keel into the suture both above and below. The body whorl is short, with a slightly tumid rounded base contracting into a small equal-sided snout. The suture is very distinct, being contracted, impressed, and submarginated below. It is a little oblique.
|
|
The outer lip is thin, arcuate, produced, with a large tumid varix at a little distance from the margin. The columella is a trifle oblique, coated with a smooth brown callus, adjoining the suture in the form of a tubercle. The siphonal canal is very short, broad, and not recurved.Smith, E.A. (1879) On a collection of Mollusca from Japan.
|
|
Only 3.5 whorls remain. The last is small, but is a little tumid, with a short rounded base and a very short lop-sided snout. The suture is rather oblique, well marked by the angulation of the whorls and by a slight contraction of the whorl just above. The aperture is elongately oval and rather small.

|
Drawing of the shell of Ariophanta interrupta. The shell of this species is left-handed (sinistral). The shell is flatly convex above, rather coarsely, obliquely, plicately striated and decussated with fine impressed lines, the decussation is sometimes obsolete, more tumid and smoother beneath. The shell color is brownish horny, darker below the periphery, and gradually becoming paler again beneath.
|
|
The apex is not sharp and projecting, but flattened down and rounded. The whorls are much more scalar, and of more rapid increase. The base is more tumid on its outer edge and more rounded. The apex is ornamented with a microscopic and quite irregular inlaid work of angular depressions, parted by very narrow interrupted raised lines.
|
|
They are elegantly ornamented with elevated spiral ribs and longitudinal striae. The first whorl is nearly smooth. The body whorl is double as long as the spire It is tumid, dilated and ornamented with 3 elevated cinguli on the lower part, 2 less elevated ones above. The base of the shell has 6 granulose, minutely striated, concentric cinguli.
|
|
They are marked by fine retractive lines of growth and numerous fine, spiral striations. The sutures are strongly impressed. The periphery of the body whorl is subangulated. The base of the shell is rather short, sloping from the subangulated periphery to its anterior margin, with a tumid area bounding the narrow umbihcus, marked like the spire.
|
|
The body whorl is similarly tumid ; but it and the aperture sare till more shorter.;The penultimate whorl is very much smaller and especially is narrower; while the upper whorls are broader, and the apex very much broader and blunter. The specimen is in too bad condition for detailed description. R.B. Watson, Mollusca of H.M.S. ‘Challenger’ Expedition.
|
|
The shell contains 10 (?) whorls which increase rather rapidly. They are high, angulated, with a long, rather high, and scarcely concave shoulder, and with a straight slight contraction to the lower suture. The body whorl is very large in proportion to the rest, being long and somewhat tumid, and ends in an elongated, broad, unequal-sided snout. The suture is very slight indeed.
|
|
The shell contains four whorls besides the apex. They have a sloping shoulder above, are angulately keeled about the middle, below this they are convexly cylindrical, with a very slight amount of contraction into the suture. The body whorl is tumid, with a short rounded base, produced into a smallish, rather long, subtriangular truncated snout. The suture is almost horizontal, a little impressed.
|
|
The apex is minute, flattened, with the minute bulbous embryonic 1¼ whorl projecting on one side. The 8 whorls increase rapidly in size. They are rounded, but angulated by the projection of the spirals, very tumid on the base. The suture is linear, but strongly defined by the contraction of the suprajacent whorl and the flat shoulder of the one below.
|
|
The latter color runs in minute zigzag streaks down the shell. There are also, both above and on the base, a few delicate spirals of alternate crimson and white specks. The spire is rather low, with curved profile lines and a blunt round apex. The five whorls are rounded and sloping above, flat at the periphery, and tumid on the base.
|
|
A series of small marginal lunules can be seen. Hindwings opalescent hyaline (glass like), where the veins and broad outer band are fuscous with pale colored cilia. The larvae is fat, slightly tumid (swollen) at the posterior end and with a berry-shaped swelling over the anterior part of the abdomen and thoracic segments. The head is half the breadth of the body.
|
|
The shell is yellowish white with irregular light chestnut undulating longitudinal stripes, more or less intensified into revolving bands. The size of the shell varies between 1.9 mm and 6.2 mm. Compared to Eulimella acicula, the shell of Eulimella ventricosa is thinner, with tumid whorls and a deeper suture. The shell is slightly striated longitudinally, with the body whorl ventricose.
|
|
The apex consists of 2 tumid rounded whorls of nearly equal size, with a very slight suture. There are 8 whorls in all, of slow and regular increase. The body whorl is small, with a rounded conical base and a smallish snout. The whorls are angularly convex, with a slight contraction into the suture, both at top and bottom of the whorls.
|
|
Peristome is weak, expanded, the margins delicately united; outer margin not impressed, scarcely produced angularly forward. The width of the adult shell varies from 1.25 to 1.5 mm, the height from 2-2.25 mm. Vertigo lilljeborgi, compared with Vertigo moulinsiana, is much smaller, more glossy, its whorls are more tumid, and its thinner lip lacks the broad, almost colorless margin of the latter.
|
|
The length of the shell varies between 6 mm and 17 mm. (Original description) It stands out at a glance for its pupoid shape and for its very short siphonal canal, a strongly denticled aperture, oblique and obsolete cross-linking, rapid subtraction, tumid evolutions. The conical apex is composed of many rounded corners, the last of which at angled periphery. Monterosato T. A. (di) (1884).
|
|
The spire is conic. The five whorls are a little tumid below each suture, and with a narrow ledge or margin, marked off by an impressed line, above each suture. This peripheral ledge gives the body whorl a rather prominent keel. The surface is polished, but shows quite prominent, spaced, impressed growth lines, and under a lens is all over very densely minutely spirally striate.
|
|
They are slightly concave and shouldered in the sinus-area, which is bordered by a faint angulation, below which they are slightly tumid, without any contraction into the inferior suture. The body whorl, which is rather small, has a conical base produced into a broadish, triangular, one-sided aperture. The suture is slight, inasmuch as the inferior whorl laps up on the one above. But there is an appreciable constriction.
|
|
The shell contains 9 whorls in all, slightly straight and sloping below the suture, convexly rounded above, cylindrical below. The body whorl is a little tumid, with a rounded base produced into a short, broad, lopsided snout. The suture is very slight, as the inferior whorl laps up on the one above it, but it is defined by the curve of the whorls. The aperture is oval, pointed above.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 26.4 mm, its diameter 13.2 mm. (Original description) The white shell is thin, like delicate tissue-paper and bluntly keeled, subplicate. It has a small, high, sharp, scalar spire, an angulated suture, a short tumid body whorl narrowing from the carina, suddenly contracted on the base, and prolonged into a largish triangular one-sided snout. Sculpture. Longitudinals — there are extremely fine hairlike lines of growth.
|
|
The small apex is a little flattened, with the embryonic 1¼ whorl barely projecting in the middle. The spire contains 6–7 whorls, the last is of rapid increase, full rounded and a little tumid. The preceding ones are a little roundedly shouldered below the suture, flat on the contour, angulated at the carina, and slightly contracted into the suture. The apical whorls are simply rounded and longitudinally ribbed.
|
|
The length of the white shell reaches 2.5 mm. The shell has a depressedly globose shape. It is strongly sculptured, with a rather high scalar spire, exserted whorls, a very sharp and expressed carina, a minute tabulated apex, a strong and impressed suture, a tumid base, and a large pervious but half covered umbilicus. The radiating ribs are pretty strong, sharp, and equal above and below the canal.
|
|
The maximum length is 9 mm. (Original description) The thin, white shell is narrowly oblong or fusiform, with a longish, scarcely tumid body whorl, a shortish, conical, convexly whorled, small-pointed, shallow- sutured, conical spire, and a long conical base. Sculpture. Longitudinals : there are delicate threadlike curved lines of growth, which are strongest near the top of the whorls. Spirals: the whole surface is equably covered with fine, faintly raised, rounded threads.
|
|
Above they have a sloping, slightly concave shoulder. About the middle or a little below it they are carinated, below the keel they are cylindrical. The body whorl is somewhat tumid with a rounded convex base, which contracts gradually to a blunt triangular snout, which is not in the least emarginate at the point. The suture is slightly oblique, very fine, but made distinct by the angulation at which the whorls join.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 14 mm. (Original description) The white, conical, ribbed shell has a high, subscalar, small-pointed apex, a short tumid body whorl, a rounded contracted base, and a small aperture. The longitudinal sculpture consists on the body whorl of 14 ridge-shaped, round- topped, curved, oblique ribs. They are not strong and originate in small rounded beads at an angulation below the sinus-area, and die out on the base.
|
|
The spire is rather high, conical, subscalar, from a slight bulge of the shoulder. The protoconch is small, conical, rounded, with the extreme tip flattened down. The six whorls are rounded, tumid, with a faint subangulation below the sinus-area, in which there is a flattening rather than a constriction of the surface. Below the periphery of each whorl the form is cylindrical, with a very slight contraction into the lower suture.

Sphaerium nucleus was described by Studer 1820, who placed it in the genus Cyclas. It was later thought to be a subspecies of Sphaerium corneum. Subsequently it was raised to a full species again as Sphaerium nucleus (Studer, 1820) due to its having a different form of kidney, and the shell having a broad hinge plate, dense porosity and more tumid shells with broad umbones. Unlike S. corneum it has a preference for temporary habitats.
|
|
The small, conoidal shell has a tumid conical base. It is bluntly bicarinate and umbilicate with a resinous luster. Its sculpture shows very many irregular oblique faint lines of growth, with a few remote rounded spirals, which are very weak above, stronger on the base, and of which two at the periphery form a feeble double carina. The color of the shell is: a pale transparent resinous brown, flecked below the sutures and, at the periphery with alternate spots of white and crimson.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 8.9 mm (Original description) The thin, white shell is narrowly oblong or fusiform, with a longish, scarcely tumid body whorl, a shortish, conical, convexly whorled, small-pointed, shallow-sutured spire, and a long conical base. There are delicate thread-like curved, longitudinal lines of growth, which are strongest near the top of the whorls. The whole surface is equably covered with fine, faintly raised, rounded, spiral threads. They are slightly fretted by the longitudinals.
|
|
The two or three of the very tip are broken. Whorls 6-7, exclusive o£ those which form the apex, of regular increase, with a drooping concave shoulder, keeled, and below the keel almost cylindrical, but with a very slight contraction to the lower suture. The body whorl is short, tumid, with a rounded base produced into a short, broad, triangular, one-sided aperture. The suture is very slightly impressed and extremely small, as the inferior whorl laps up on the one above it.

During the mid 20th-century, John Colmer argued that the poem "has little or no poetic merit. It was probably in origin an academic exercise and its rhetorical excesses make it difficult to be certain how much genuine emotion that event aroused in the boy Coleridge." This was followed by Samuel Chew and Richard Altick declaring: "[Coleridge's] addiction to 'turgid ode and tumid stanza,' clogged with pompous rhetoric and frigid personification, is evident in the Destruction of the Bastille (1789)".Chew and Altick 1975 p.
|
|
These are regular, of rather rapid increase, shortish, with a largish, sloping, but hardly concave shoulder above and a very slight contraction below. They are arigulated by the projection of the line of tubercles, but are otherwise little convex. The body whorl is a little tumid and considerably elongated, a little contracted on the base, and gradually drawn out into the conical, straight, longish, and at the end smallish snout. The suture is rather deep, and strongly marked by the angle at which the superior and inferior whorls meet.
|
|
It is large and dome-shaped, having the extreme tip quite immersed and the suture almost suppressed. The shell contains 5½ whorls in all (but the specimen is immature). They are short and broad, of rather rapid increase, with a broad horizontal shoulder and a sharp carinated angle, below which they are cylindrical with a slight contraction to the lower suture. The last is broadest at the keel, a little contracted below this point, tumid on the base, drawn in at the columella, with a small, short sharp-pointed, siphonal canal.
|
|
There are about two embryonic whorls on the protoconch, which are small, nearly cylindrical, with scarcely appreciable suture, and end in a blunt, round, laterally flattened-down tip. The shell contains 10 whorls in all, rather short and broad, scarcely at all convex. The body whorl is large, being broad and tumid, but not long, with a tumidly conical lop-sided base, ending in a short, broad, flat snout which is abruptly and straight cut off. The suture islinear, but well defined by the swelling of the infrasutural row of tubercles.
|
|
The body whorl is very slightly tumid with a rounded base, contracting very rapidly to a short broad snout, which is abruptly truncated at the point. The suture is rather oblique, fine, regular, defined by a slight impression: it rises a very little at the aperture. The aperture is pear-shaped, small, narrow and a little contracted in front. The outer lip is somewhat thickened, with a small reverted edge in the sinus and at the point of the siphonal canal, but sharp and a little contracted in all the rest of its extent.
|
|
They are rather narrow and of very slow increase. The body whorl is a little tumid, with a very regular convex curve, which contracts evenly to a long, projecting, narrow, cylindrical snout, lying very nearly in the axis of the shell. The suture a very faint, delicate, and regular line, well defined by the concavity of the whorl both above and below it. The aperture is club-shaped, but long and narrow, sharply pointed above, and very much twisted in consequence of the great depth and width of the sinus.

The last is rather short, a little tumid, with a long pillar-line on the left side, and a small square prominent snout on the right. The suture is very slight in consequence of the uplap of the whorls at their junction, but of course strongly marked by the angulation of the line of junction. The aperture is oblong, triangularly pointed above, and ending in a very square broadish siphonal canal below. The outer lip is flatly arched, with a slight angulation below the sinus-area and a marked pinch-in where it turns to form the siphonal canal.

Opuntia fragilis is a small, prostrate plant, rarely more than high: joints tumid, fragile, easily detached, oval, elliptical, or subglobose, long and nearly as thick as broad, bright green: areoles apart, with whitish wool and a few white to yellow bristles, which are much longer and more abundant on older joints; spines 1–4, occasionally a few small additional ones, weak, dark brown, the upper one usually longer and stronger than the others, rarely in length: flowers greenish yellow, wide: fruit ovate to subglobose with few spines or bristles, mostly sterile, or less long; seeds few and large.Haw.

He was also the author of a paper "On Painful Affections of the Side from Tumid Spleen", read 1 January 1811 before the Medical and Chirurgical Society, of which Bree became a member of council and a vice-president in March following; and of a second paper on the same subject, read 26 May 1812, "A Case of Splenitis, with further Remarks on that Disease". These papers were later published in the first and second volumes of the Medico-Chirurgical Transactions. Bree was further the author of a short tract, Thoughts on Cholera Asphyxia (London, 1832).

The eighth joint was a small triangular spine. An epimera (the part of a segment next to an articulation of an appendage) of the first tergite whose edge slopes back proves that the entire mesosoma was very tumid, as in the carcinosomatids. The most surprising morphological feature of Holmipterus is the pretelson-telson assemblage which includes the cercal blades, as in other megalograptids. It can be stated that the pretelson, and therefore probably the entire cauda (tail), was almost round in cross section, as in Megalograptidae, Carcinosomatidae and Mixopteridae, who had a rounded tail capable of being pushed "overhead", as in current scorpions.

The sinus is broadly rounded and median in position on the spire whorls. The columella is simple. The type of this genus is PIeurotoma silicata, of Aldrich, a very remarkable and isolated species occurring in the Lignitic Eocene of the Gregg's Landing beds of Alabama. The beaded subsutural collar, subjacent depression and swollen and finely ribbed lower parts of the two whorls immediately below the protoconch are lost completely on the larger whorls, though the subsutural collar can be feebly traced as a slightly tumid line gradually descending further below the suture with the growth of the shell.

Apex consists of small, rounded, globular, brownish-buff coloured, embryonic whorls, of which the first is a good deal turned up on one side. The teleoconch contains 10 whorls, slightly keeled and banded, conical, broad, short and of very regular increase. The last is rather large, long, scarcely tumid on the base, gradually produced into a large, conical, rather equal-sided snout, which is obliquely cut off from the point of the pillar backwards towards the outer lip, and which has a slight twist toward the right. The suture is slightly canaliculated, from the thickening of the infrasutural collar, behind which it is a little sharply cut in.

The whorls show a conspicuous shoulder, above which a slightly concave spirally striate anal fasciole extends to the appressed suture, which on the last whorl or two shows indications of a marginal thickening. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl, about fifteen) protractive short riblets with subequal or slightly shorter interspaces apparently confined to the periphery: these are crossed by t\ro strong spiral threads, the posterior largest and forming oblong tumid nodules at the intersections. The anterior thread is also but less conspicuously nodulous or undulated. The rest of the surface is covered with fine spiral threads, of which there are three between the two large ones above mentioned.

Joyce harboured a desire to become Viceroy of India should Mosley ever head a BUF government, and is recorded as describing the backers of the bill as "feeble" and "one loathsome, fetid, purulent, tumid mass of hypocrisy, hiding behind Jewish Dictators". Joyce was sacked from his paid position when Mosley drastically reduced the BUF staff shortly after the 1937 elections, after which Joyce promptly formed a breakaway organisation, the National Socialist League. After the departure of Joyce, the BUF turned its focus away from anti-Semitism and towards activism, opposing a war with Nazi Germany. Although Joyce had been deputy leader of the party from 1933 and an effective fighter and orator, Mosley snubbed him in his autobiography and later denounced him as a traitor because of his wartime activities.

Differs from Ceratogyrus by the lack of a foveal tubercle/procurved fovea. Female Augacephalus are separated from those of Eucratoscelus by the unmodified (not incrassate) tibiae of leg IV. Male Augacephalus are separated from those of Eucratoscelus and Pterinochilus by lacking the distal proventral tibial apophysis or by the reduced surmounted megaspine. Further separated from Eucratoscelus by the absence of a distal proventral tumid protuberance on metatarsus I. The presence of a distal prodorsal spine on metatarsi III and IV further separates Augacephalus from Eucratoscelus. Female Augacephalus are separated from those of Pterinochilus by the absence of long emergent setae on the chelicerae (giving them a velvety appearance), their robust palpi and legs I–II, and by the position of their posterior sternal sigilla (an impressed sclerotized spot).

The shell contains 8½ whorls in all, of slow, but increasingly rapid enlargement. Those of the spire are rather narrow and high, and have a high flat shoulder, a sharp angulated keel, and a very slight contraction from this point to the inferior suture. The body whorl is tumid, but short, with a sloping shoulder, a much blunter angulation, a marked contraction from this point, a very blunt angulation defining the base, which contracts a good deal and suddenly, and which on the right side is prolonged into the conical, triangular-shaped, blunt- though small- pointed snout. The suture is linear and almost invisible, but well defined by the angulation at which the whorls meet, and also by the change of colour where the inferior whorl laps up on the one above it, which produces a pseudo-margination.

Hemigalinae resemble the Viverrinae in having the scent glands present in both sexes and wholly perineal, but differing by their simpler structure, consisting in the male of a shallower, smaller pouch, with less tumid lips, situated midway between the scrotum and the penis, but not extending to either. In the female, the scent glands consist of a pair of swellings, each with a slit-like orifice, situated one on each side of the vulva and a little behind it and on a common eminence, the perineal area behind this eminence being naked. The prepuce is long and pendulous. The feet are nearly intermediate in structure between those of the digitigrade Viverrinae and the semiplantigrade Paradoxurinae, but more like the latter, both the carpal and metatarsal pads being well developed, double, and joining the plantar pad below, and as wide as it is at the point of contact.

The body whorl is feebly tumid below the keel, and is drawn out from a produced conical base into a long, narrow, cylindrical, very slightly upturned snout, which projects on the right side of the base. The suture is a fine, sharp, slightly irregular line, well defined by the contraction of the whorl above and the straight line of the shoulder on the whorl below. The aperture is club-shaped, being oval above, and prolonged below into a long, but not very narrow siphonal canal, which is a little sinuous, and widens towards its end in consequence of the oblique cutting-away of the columellar lip. The outer lip, which is thin, sharp, and patulous, leaves the body at a right angle and advances quite straight to the keel, above which lies the deep, thin-lipped, U-shaped sinus, whose lower margin runs parallel to, but a little above, the carinal thread.

Such eyes are also generally accepted to be in reference to Dante's Beatrice (see below). The poet depicts figures "Gathered on this beach of the tumid river" – drawing considerable influence from Dante's third and fourth cantos of the Inferno which describes Limbo, the first circle of Hell – showing man in his inability to cross into Hell itself or to even beg redemption, unable to speak with God. Dancing "round the prickly pear," the figures worship false gods, recalling children and reflecting Eliot's interpretation of Western culture after World War I. The final stanza may be the most quoted of all of Eliot's poetry: When asked in 1958 if he would write these lines again, Eliot responded with a 'no': > One reason is that while the association of the H-bomb is irrelevant to it, > it would today come to everyone's mind. Another is that he is not sure the > world will end with either.

Rhynchonelloidella alemanica has small sized shells, subtrigonal to slightly subpentagonal in outline, with wide hinge line; inequivalve, almost plano-convex; dorsal valve markedly everted anteriorly, giving shell subcynocephalous to cynocephalus profile. Lateral commissures deflected ventrally at 15 to 30 degrees; anterior commissure highly uniplicate; linguiform extension high and narrow, top truncated. Beak short, pointed, substraight to suberect; foramen large, oval in shape, hypothyridid, with well developed rim; deltidial plates wide, disjunct to just conjunct; beak ridges angular, extending laterally; interareas well defined and slightly concave with fine growth lines. Ventral valve gently convex at posterior and flattened anteriorly; sulcus well developed, deep and narrow, with flat bottom, occurring at about posterior 1/3 of valve, abruptly separated from slopes and turning over towards dorsal valve sharply at frontal margin, resulting in high linguiform extension. Dorsal valve moderately convex at umbonal region, but less tumid than in Rhynchonelloidella smithi, norelliform stage feebly recognizable, sulcation short or even absent; fold eminent, narrow and well elevated over slopes with steep flanks, occurring at about posterior 1/3 to 1/2 of valve and making valve trilobate anteriorly.
