GLANDINA.—SALASTELLA. 81 
Hab. Centrau Amurica (coll. Cuming !*). 
The habitat of this species is doubtful. It belongs to a natural subdivision of 
Glandina with a smooth, shining shell, all other species of which are confined to the 
islands of the West Indies. 
SALASTELLA. 
Salasiella, Strebel, Beitr. Mex. Land- und Siissw.-Conch. iii. p. 6 (1878). 
Shell oblong, conical, or fusiform, of vitreous appearance, smooth or feebly striated, 
thin and shining; columella as in Glandina. ‘Teeth of the radula with distinctly 
stouter basal part and more blunt point than in Glandina, the two laterals next to the 
median very stout. For an account of the anatomy, see Strebel (op. cit. p. 29, t. 10). 
All the species are of small size and unicolorous. In an artificial system they must 
remain united with Glandina; but the rather peculiar facies and the small size give 
some additional weight to the difference in the radula. 
Dedicated to the family Salas in Vera Cruz, who helped Mr. Strebel most successfully 
in collecting the land-shells of this province.

Very distinct by its coniform shape, thus resembling many Streptostyle, but the 
conformation of the columella is that of Glandina. ‘The figure here given is drawn 
from a specimen in the late Mr. Patel’s collection, of somewhat smaller size than 
Pfeiffer’s example.

The statement “ Prope Vera Cruz (Berendt)” 1, or environs of Vera Cruz 3, is con- 
tradicted by Berendt’s companion Strebel *: the province of Vera Cruz is intended.
