VARICELLA, JAMAICA. 99 



white, faintly showing the axis through. The chestnut spots 

 behind the va.rix-lines on the last two whorls continue down 

 as narrow streaks, tout are absent on the lower third of the 

 last whorl. 



The stouter shell is pale olive-buff, the first 21/4 whorls rose- 

 tinted. There are 5 varix-lines on the last, 4 on the penul- 

 timate whorl, with a, triangular chestnut spot at the suture 

 back of each. 2^4 apical whorls are smooth, the striae then 

 beginning very weakly. The sculpture is of even, fine, flat 

 stria?, somewhat wider than the intervening grooves, and 5 

 in a mm. on the last whorl. The outer lip is hardly ex- 

 panded, slightly ached forward, with a small and incon- 

 spicuous point at its lower third; basal lip receding. Oohi- 

 mella is vertical, slightly sinuous, obliquely truncate basally.

"Shell thin, diaphanous, elongate, sub fusiform, pale brown- 

 ish, ornamented with a few distant longitudinal black-brown 

 lines. Whorls 7, impressed above with an infrasutural line, 

 striated, the stria? distant. Lip thin, retracted below; colu- 

 xnella not much arched. Divergence 20, length of spire .5, 

 total length .73, breadth .13 inch." (Ad.).

Specimens of the type lot measure, length 15, diam. 5 mm., 

 15.5 x 4.9, 17.3 x 5.5, and 18.3 x 5.9, aperture 7.9 mm., whorls 

 6%. The last one is, I think, the original type. The di- 

 ameter of the shell was wrongly stated by Adams, either by 

 typographical error or from misreading the scale. 



The shell is slender, last whorl somewhat cylindric, with 

 sculpture of rather wide rounded or flattened rib-stria?, 

 parted by narrower grooves. There are 5 to 6 ribs in a mm. 

 on the front of the last whorl. The sculpture is obsolete 

 on the base. There are about four varices on a whorl, each
