being a little contracted just below the smooth apex, and more 

 so just before the beginning of the permanent whorls. Fig. 

 1 of pi. 64 is from a specimen in coll. of G. H. Clapp, retaining 

 all but the first whorl; loc., interior Clarendon.

 gated, dingy rose color; lip white; moderately coarse oblique 

 stride of growth ; keel nearly obsolete ; last whorl very much 

 rounded, and brownish ; spire with convex outlines ; apex 

 truncate, with the loss of whorls; 7% whorls left, very 

 convex and rather shouldered, with a deeply impressed suture ; 

 last whorl moderately produced, subangular on the right side 

 and at the upper part of the left. Aperture large. Lip 

 spreading much on the left lower extremity, thin shining and

Distinct from anibigua by its smaller size and especially 

 the more slender form. Specimens from Maroon Town and 

 Hanna Rock, five miles distant (pi. 29, figs. 18, 19), vary 

 widely in size : 



Length 16.5, diam. 4.3 mm. ; whorls 7y 2 - 

 Length 15, diam. 5.5 mm. ; whorls 6y 2 . 

 Length 21.3, diam. 5.6 mm. ; whorls 8y 2 - 

 Length 20, diam. 6.2 mm. ; whorls 7 1 />. 

 The mouth is almost circular, the upper margin of the lip 

 being more arcuate than is usual in U. anibigua. The whorls 

 vary a great deal in convexity, but are often more convex 

 than in U. anibigua. The basal keel is Aveak or almost want- 

 ing, and in the form from around Maroon Town it is not 

 strengthened just behind the lip, as it generally is in ambitjua. 

 A large series collected by Henderson and Simpson at Mont- 

 pelier, on the western border of St. James, is less variable m
