Unlike its southern neighbor Southern Sámi, Ume Sámi has consonant gradation. However, gradation is more limited than it is in the more northern Sami languages, because it does not occur in the case of short vowels followed by a consonant that can gradate to quantity 1 (that is, Proto-Samic single consonants or geminates). In these cases, only quantity 3 appears. Consonant clusters can gradate regardless of the preceding vowel.

|
The height of the shell attains 8 mm, its diameter also 8 mm. The small, solid, imperforate shell has a pyramidal shape. The apex is eroded, but the whorls apparently number six. They are flattened, slightly gradate, the body whorl descending a little at the aperture.
|
|
Shell elongately fusiform with a high gradate spire and rounded body whorl tapering gently to the anterior canal. Sutural groove narrow but forming a prominent shoulder on the adult whorls. No sutural nodules. Thin axial costae present only on the first whorl, absent from the succeeding whorls.

Sculpture : The protoconch is gradate, and coarsely, spirally, engraved. The subsequent whorls are rounded and excavate at the fasciole. The radial ribs are prominent, rounded, extending from the fasciole to the base, set their own breadth apart, about twelve to a whorl. The spirals are delicate threads overriding the radials.
|
|
The size of the shell varies between 8 mm and 13 mm. The thin, small, umbilicate shell has a conical shape. The coloration is very variable, sometimes uniform dark brown or red, sometimes cinereous, longitudinally clouded with brown, or with spiral series of blackish dots. The low-conic spire is gradate.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 8.5 mm, its diameter 4 mm. (Original description) The small shell is lanceolate-fusiform. Its colour is buff, stained with ferruginous at the extremities. The shell contains eight whorls, the first three minute, smooth, forming the protoconch, the rest sculptured, gradate and rapidly increasing in size.
|
|
The size of the shell attains 4 mm. The small, solid, imperforate shell has a conical shape with a gradate spire with five whorls. It is prominently keeled at the periphery and again at the shoulder. Below the periphery the colour is uniform buff, above it broad, radial stripes of buff pink, alternate with white.
|
|
The spire is elevated, rudely gradate and maculated. The interior of the aperture is light chocolate, with a light band.G.W. Tryon (1884) Manual of Conchology, structural and systematic, with illustrations of the species, vol. VI; Philadelphia, Academy of Natural Sciences (described as Conus mediterraneus) The peptide Contryphan-Vn was extracted from the venom of this marine snail.

|
The length of the shell attains 9mm, its diameter 3.25 mm This is a peculiarly milky white, oblong-gradate species. It contains eight whorls of which two vitreous whorls in the protoconch. The sculpture is, as in most Daphnella, elaborately cancellate as regards the protoconch. The whorls next to this are irregularly varicose-costate, and are crossed by delicate non- gemmuled spirals.
|
|
These are wound obliquely, slightly gradate, rounded at the periphery, a little descending and constricted at the aperture. The base of the shell is rather flat, extending obliquely. The colour of the shell is pale buff, punctate with small irregularly scattered crimson or brown dots. The sculpture of the shell shows small grains of nearly uniform size are crowded in close spiral rows.
|
|
Shell fragments are known that would suggest a maximum size around 77 mm. The shell is regularly grooved throughout the body whorl, with the interstices plane or granular. The spire is striate, often gradate. The color is orange- red, raised portions with very narrow chestnut revolving lines, white clouded, especially in the middle, forming an irregular band, which is mottled and bordered with chestnut.
|
|
On the penultimate whorl there are four such cords, and on the antepenultimate three. Between and parallel to the spiral cords are fine, close, microscopic hairlines. The aperture is narrow linear, with a deep sinus and a prominent varix Some variation in contour occurs, some individuals being shorter and broader than others. The species is characterised by its straight, narrow form, gradate spire, and strongly modelled sculpture.

The size of an adult shell varies between 13 mm and 63 mm. The color of the shell is yellowish brown, pink-brown or olivaceous ; sometimes chocolate-brown, very closely nebulously spotted and reticulated ; and sometimes interrupted-lined with chestnut, with a narrow, light band below the middle. The elevated spire is rudely gradate and maculated. The interior of the shell is light chocolate, with a light band.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 10½ mm, its diameter 4¼ mm. (Original description) The white, fusiform shell is gradate and moderately strong. It contains 8 whorls (the uppermost broken), of which 2 form a reddish-brown protoconch, with convex whorls (their number probably will have been 4 of which 2 are wanting). The whorls are sculptured by curved riblets, crossed by oblique finer ones in the lower part, which is consequendy finely reticulated.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 4 mm, its diameter 1.5 mm. (Original description) The delicate, white shell contains 5 whorls, including a rather blunt scarcely mamillate protoconch of 2 convex whorls, with 7 spiral lirae, ending abrupthly at the first axial rib. The whorls of the spire are gradate, subconcavely sloping below the suture, with a sharp lira at the edge of the gradation. The whorls contract towards the lower suture.
|
|
The size of the shell varies between 23 mm and 80 mm. The elevated spire is gradate and maculated with chestnut. The body whorl is somewhat acuminate below The shell is yellowish white with brown-chestnut longitudinal striations, scarcely interrupted for a narrow central white band, and replaced towards the base by a few revolving rows of chestnut markings.G.W. Tryon (1884) Manual of Conchology, structural and systematic, with illustrations of the species, vol.

It was usually printed in a neutral tone, such as light grey or terracotta.McLean 1963: 30 Often, Baxter used more than one colour to ink the key plate – for example, to gradate the image from blue in the sky, to buff in the middle distance and to a darker colour in the foreground; i.e. inking the plate à la poupée.Seeley 1924: 25Gascoigne 1986: Section 29 Usually, Baxter used aquatint for landscapes and stipple to work faces and figures.

Microberotha can be distinguished from other berothids by the combination of an unbranched "Rs" vein and lack of an outer gradate series of crossveins in the forewings. With a forewing length of only , M. macculloughi is one of the smallest known members of Berothidae to have been described. The smallest living species, Manselliberotha neuropterologorum, has a minimum forewing length of , while some species from the New Jersey ambers are smaller at a minimum of . The terminal segments of the abdomen on the holotype, necessary in determining subfamily placement, are not visible given the angles of view available through the amber.

The subsequent whorls are convex, angular, gradate by a conspicuous excavation of the upper part, the lower part perpendicular. The spirals consist of a keel and a few, rather strong, slightly flattened lirae on the lower part, 4 in number on penultimate whorl and 2 narrow ones at the base of excavation, just above the keel The body whorl shows numerous stronger, flat lirae, eventually divided by a very fine groove, and some intermediate ones. The axial sculpture consists of numerous fine growth striae and curved riblets in the upper part of the excavation, less pronounced on the body whorl, not quite extending to the keel. The body whorl is convex, regularly attenuated towards the rather long siphonal canal.

The shell has a typical trochoid shape with a spire angle of approximately 80 degrees and nearly smooth sided until the later whorls which are clearly gradate with a clearly defined suture. The base is flat with an angular periphery and a well defined columellar callus at the center covering roughly 40 percent of the base area. The aperture is oval, the slit is positioned roughly halfway between the periphery and the suture and is long, about 20 percent of the circumference. The shell is heavily textured with about 20 to 22 coarse spiral cords crossed by numerous heavy axial growth lines to produce rows of prominent beads over the entire surface above the selenizone (the area where the shell growth filled in the slit) and about 7 to 8 rows of prominent beads below.

These are based on an ample culture, a determined artistic taste and on impressive intuitions. The mentor of Junimea society considered this type of criticism (neatly affirmative or negative) necessary only to that epoch of clutter of values, as its modalities of execution would gradate later, in the literary life, when the great writers would elevate the artistic level and implicitly would have the public's exigency augmented. This work as a tutor, as fighter for the assertion of values, would be led by Maiorescu throughout his entire life and would be divided between his political activity (he would become prime minister, but he will lose a friend from his youth, P.P. Carp), his University activity (as a professor he had and he promoted disciples of great value, like C. Rădulescu-Motru, P.P. Negulescu, Pompiliu Eliade and others), his lawyer activity and his literary critic activity. Maiorescu was seldom reproached for not having spent enough time on writing literary works but his work as a literary critic profoundly marks one of the most lusty epochs in the history of Romanian literature: the period of the great classics.
