96 VARICELLA, JAMAICA. 



Jamaica: Moore Town, Parish of Portland (Geo. Nutt). 



Glandina (Varicella) deflorescens VEND., Nautilus xiv, p. 

 134, fig. 2 (April, 1901). 



"The peculiarities of the columellar callus, impressed with 

 the marks of the sculpture of the shell, and of the dilation 

 of part of the labrum on the right side of the base of the aper- 

 ture, allies this species with Glandina leucozonias and domin- 

 icensis, tooth of which occur in the Parish of Portland in the 

 extreme eastern part of the island." (Vendryes) . 



40. V. VENUSTA (Pfeiffer). Vol. I, p. 28, pi. 3, fig. 16. 



Pfeiffer's description was from young shells, one of which 

 has been figured by Philippi (Abbild. I, Glandina pi. 1, f. 9). 

 It reaches a length of 25 mm. The first 2% whorls are 

 smooth, a fine pale line then marking the beginning of the 

 sculptured portion. The rest of the shell is very evenly, 

 closely striate, on the last whorl about 3 to 4 striae in a mm. 

 The outer lip arches forward slightly, and below the middle 

 there is a small white oblong nodule on its inner edge and 

 face. The brown stripes are narrow, and white-bordered on 

 both sides.
