96 FERNANDEZIA. 



4. F. PHILIPPIANA n. sp. PI. 14, figs. 2, 3. 



The shell is irnperforate, ovate-conic, thin, glossy, suffi- 

 ciently transparent to show the columellar axis faintly 

 through the shell, pale yellow. The spire is straightly conic 

 with an obtuse, rounded apex. Whorls 6%, but slightly eon- 

 vex. The first l 1 /^ whorls are smooth, the first one wide, the 

 next decidedly narrower; near the end of the second whorl 

 fine vertical stria? appear. The remaining whorls of the spire 

 are weakly plicate, the folds moderately strong near the 

 suture, weakening rapidly and disappearing downward, and 

 on the last whorl nearly or quite obsolete. There are also 

 fine, rather weak growth-striae, and under a strong lens in 

 favorable light, a very minute and extremely weak spiral 

 striation is visible in places. The last whorl is nearly smooth. 

 Aperture semioval; outer lip slightly obtuse, smooth-edged, 

 a trifle sinuous. 



Columella very short, bearing a. median, very strong, 

 spirally entering lamella. Length 9. diam. 4.8 mm. ; length 

 of the aperture 4 mm.

The shell is narrower and paler-colored than F. wilsoni. 

 and plicate below the suture. 



5. F. WILSONI n. sp. PI. 14, figs. 7, 8. 



The shell is imperforate, ovate-pyramidal, rather solid, 

 opaque, covered with a glossy yellowish cuticle, distinctly 

 though finely stria'te, the stria? strongest just below the suture, 

 the base smoother. Outlines of the spire straight. Apex ob- 

 tuse, rounded, the first li/o whorls white, smooth. Whorls 

 71/2, almost flat, the last very ventricose, rounded at periphery 

 and base. Suture linear, narrowly impressed. Aperture 

 slightly oblique, light forown within, with a white border near 

 the lip. Outer lip 'blunt, being slightly thickened. Colu- 

 mella very short, with a very strong, obliquely or spirally- 

 entering median lamella. Parietal callus rather thick, whit- 

 ish but transparent, not spreading forward. Length 10.5, 

 diam. 5.8 mm. ; length of aperture 4.9 mm.
