EUGLANDINA. 209 



by the sculpture of very fine, arcuate folds on the second 

 whorl, and seems from what I have seen, to be distinct. 

 Strebel notes that there were only three pale ochre colored 

 examples in about 100 examined. 



82. E. DELICATULA ( Shuttle worth ). PI. 27, fig. 41. 



Shell ovate-fusiform, thin, diaphanous, closely plicate-sul- 

 cate, very glossy; fleshy corneous, ornamented with narrow, 

 widely separated, pale-edged reddish streaks. Spire elevated, 

 conic, obtuse ; whorls 8, convex, the last three-fifths the total 

 length ; suture impressed-marginate, crenulate ; columella ar- 

 cuate, the base abruptly truncate. Aperture semioval, some- 

 what dilated at the base; peristome acute, unexpanded, pale- 

 edged. Length 17, diam. 8, aperture 8.5 x 4 mm. (ShuttL).

 13.5 mm. Coatepee. 



Very near G. cordovana, but more elongated. In Shuttle- 

 worth's collection (now in the museum at Berne) the label in- 

 dicates positively Cordova as the locality; the specimen how- 

 ever is somewhat larger than the dimensions given in this 

 author's description, which appears to have been made from 

 an example in the Museum of Neufchatel. The former is fig- 

 ured here (fig. 4). A specimen collected by Herr Hoge at 

 Jalapa is very like it, but wants the brown varices. The ex- 

 ample from Coatepee here noted as var. a (fig. 5) agrees with 

 that in the Museum of Berne in most respects, especially in 

 the sculptured varices, apex, and columella; but it is dis- 

 tinctly larger and its last whorl is comparatively shorter."

 striation extends to the base, and the lip projects in a little 

 lobe above the middle.
