118 UROCOPTIS OP JAMAICA. 



Length 26, diam. 8.3 mm., whorls 



Length 20.5, diam. 7.8 mm., whorls iy z . 



From Stony Hill, in St. Andrew (fig. 64), the shells are 

 similar but dull purple, without the brilliant red coloring of 

 many Bellevue examples, and the axial spiral is perceptibly 

 wider, less sharp. 



Var. cerina C. B. Ad. At Bogwalk, on the Cobre River, in 

 St. Catherine (pi. 31, figs. 67, 68), the shells are slender, cyl- 

 indric and dull dark brown or pale brown, some with a slightly 

 purple shade. There are 9% to 10 whorls. The axial fold 

 is strong and somewhat acute. 



Length 24, diam. 7 mm. 



Length 21, diam. 6.5 mm. 



Var. meridionalis. At Thetford, near Bushy Park, in the 

 southern part of St. Catherine, a cylindrical red variety oc- 

 curs (pi. 31, fig. 70). The shell is comparatively slender, 

 usually with 9% convex whorls. Internal pillar twisted as 

 usual. Length 22, diam. 6.5 mm. 



The largest specimen of U. sanguinea I have seen measures 

 29 mm. long, 9~y 2 wide, and has 9% whorls. 



Var. PERPLEXA (Vendryes) . PI. 34 a, figs. 11, 12. 



"This variety was collected at Water House, an abandoned 

 sugar estate, now turned into a grazing pen and negro provi- 

 sion grounds, in the upper northern portion of the Liguinea 

 plain, where the limestone hills of the Red Hills range begin 

 to rise. The aperture is produced and the peristome is de- 

 tached all round; whilst in the typical sanguinea the peri- 

 stome above is closely soldered to the body-whorl, and often 

 so much attenuated at the point of attachment as to form a 

 thin film. The shell is of medium size and dark colored; 

 there is a narrow line of a deeper tint than the ground color, 

 but rather dingy, running next to the suture along the lower 

 part of it and extending to within it. This form is very per- 

 sistent in the locality mentioned." (Vendryes].
