UROCOPTIS OF JAMAICA. 137 



"Cylindrella rosea Pfr. var. major Ad. Length 1.3 inch; 

 breadth .45 inch. 



' ' Cylindrella rosea var. fortis. Shell as long as var. major, 

 but with less diameter and more cylindric. ' ' 



The variety FORTIS C. B. Ad. (pi. 28, fig. 5) is intermediate 

 between ambigua and magna in form and size. The figured 

 specimen (no. 33 c, coll. J. B. Henderson, Jr.) was from C. B. 

 Adams. It has the usual weak basal keel, and measures, 

 length 25.5, diam. 9.2 mm., and has 7 1 / 4 whorls. A series of 

 similar shells in the collection of the Academy indicates that 

 it is probably a local race ; but the locality is unknoAvri.
