VARICELLA, CUBA. 115 



inconspicuous. Aperture rhombic-ovate, outer lip slightly

 Length 20, diam. 7.9, aperture 8.8 mm., whorls 7. 



Cuba. 



This species differs from V. trinitaria by its strongly con- 

 vex base and the widely spaced grooves of the post-nepiomc 

 whorls. The 'aperture is more rhombic in shape, and the 

 point or denticle of the outer lip is a trifle smaller. 



61. V. GUNDLACHI (Pfeiffer). Vol. I, p. 28. 



Cuba: San Juan de Let ran near Trinidad. More slender 

 than V. trinitaria, with sharper apex, indistinct varices, cren- 

 ulate suture and rounded instead of angular outer lip. 15 

 x 5 mm., aperture 5 mm. long. 



62. V. SUCCINEA ('Gundlach' Pfr.). 



Shell turrite, thin, smoothish, irregularly marked with 

 varix-like impressed lines; pellucid, 'amber-colored. Spire 

 regularly tapering, the apex rather obtuse, suture impressed. 

 Whorls 71/2, rather flat, the last about one-third the total 

 length, slightly tapering at the base; columelLa lightly arcu- 

 ate, narrowly but distinctly truncate above the base of the 

 shell. Aperture a little oblique, sinuate-oblong, angular 

 above ; peristome simple, unexpanded, the right margin

This unfigured species is unknown to me except by the 

 above description, which indicates >a shell resembling V. 

 similis and V. trinitaria.
