wrongly localized. Forbes himself seems to doubt the as- 

 signed habitat of B. finibriatus, writing of it as "less certain 

 as to exact locality, though contained in a box labelled 

 'Panama.' " 



18. V. CORONATA ( Guppy) . 



"Shell obsoletely rimate, subulate, fusiformly cylindrical, 

 white, adorned by low, distant, somewhat sinuate, longitu- 

 dinal riblets, of which there are about eighteen on a whorl; 

 whorls 8-9, scarcely convex, the upper ones step-like, slowly 

 increasing, the lower ones nearly equal; the last somewhat 

 narrowed; aperture narrow; peristome simple, its margins 

 joined by a narrow callus on the body-whorl. Length 7, 

 width 2, aperture 1.25 x .5 mm." (Guppy). 



Trinidad, a single specimen, probably introduced (Guppy).

"Allied to S. gmcillima Pfr., Cuba." "Of Stenogyra 

 coronata I never saw but one example, and believe it must 

 have been accidentally introduced" (Guppy). Tate has re- 

 ported the species with doubt from St. Lucia. 



19. V. FIMBRIATA (Forbes). PI. 14, fig. 36. 



Shell imperforate, subulate, thin, sculptured with subarcu- 

 ate longitudinal ribs with close parallel lines in the interstices 

 of the ribs; reddish-brown. Suture impressed. Whorls 7 

 to 8, tumid, the last slightly more than one-third the total 

 length, obsoletely carinate below the middle. Colurnella 

 nearly simple, forming an angle at the base of the aperture. 

 Aperture suboval, peristome simple. Length 9, diarn. 2, 

 aperture 2x1 mm. (Forbes).

The locality has not been confirmed. The shell seems to 

 stand near Cuban species.
