The type is in the collection of the Journal de Conchyli- 

 ologie. The striae are represented much too faintly in my 

 figures 20 and 21, which were copied from the figures of the 

 type specimen. The original description is given above. 



Crosse, who figured an original specimen, has already re- 

 marked that C. strohmi (pi. 39, figs. 22, 23) differs from the 

 type of guigouana only in having the peristome carried for- 

 ward free of the preceding whorl, while in guigouana it is 

 adherent above. In this respect strohmi is like mabuja (pi. 

 39, figs. 24, 25, 26), of which eight specimens of the original 

 lot are before me. Perhaps mabuja can be retained as a 

 variety, characterized by the free peristome; strohmi becom- 

 ing a synonym of it ; but in the related U. gruneri this char- 

 acter is merely an individual variation. 



In Gonave Island specimens the last 3 whorls are of about 

 equal diameter, or the antepenult, may be slightly wider; 

 above this the shell tapers rapidly to the small concave trun- 

 cation. The sculpture is a close, even, arcuate, rib-striation, 

 not coarser on the last whorl. The surface is dull or but 

 slightly glossy, dull light red-brown or pinkish-purple, and
