Var. lasceUesiana Smith. PI. 12, fig. 10. 



Of a very dark, almost black, tint, with two narrow yellowish or 

 whitish transverse zones on the penultimate whorl, and four on tin- 

 last. The edge of the peristome is also whitish. The third /.one 

 from the suture is the hroade.-t, and the fourth or hasal one is some- 

 times somewhat indistinct (Smith). It is, I believe, only found on 

 the Annandak- estate, and only on, one small part of that a strip of 

 land facing wot on a rocky mountain side, at an elevation of l,(i((( 

 to 1,200 feet (I.asceUes). 



Mr. Smith's figure shows five bands upon the last whorl. 



D. BROAD WAYI (E. A. Smith). PL 12, fig. 5. 



Shell short, ovate, slightly rimate, thin, subpellucid, whitish-cor- 

 neous with a brown band at the suture. Spire short, conic, rather 

 obtuse and blackish at the apex. "Whorls 5, somewhat rapidly in- 

 'creasing, a little convex, earlier two minutely punctate cancellate, 

 the following a little shining, striated with delicate growth-lines ; 

 last whorl slightly globose, having slender, oblique, more or less 

 numerous riblets. Aperture a little exceeding half the total altitude 

 of the shell ; peristome very thin ; cohimellar margin slightly thick- 

 ened, thinly and narrowly rerlexed. 



Alt. 14, diam. 8^, length of aperture 8, width 6 mill. (SrnitJi).

.Mr. Moss informs me that this very interesting addition to the 

 fauna was discovered by Mr. W. E. Broadway, who at that time was 

 an assistant in the Botanic Gardens, Trinidad. We are also in- 

 debted to him for the diseo\ery of the preceding Species (1). muss!). 

 .Mr. Mo->, who has received from him a line series of the Trinidad 

 shells, has liberally placed one of his three specimens of this species 

 in the IJriti-h Museum collection. It is very different from all the 

 other indigenous forms, ;ind quite distinct from any of the continental 

 Species. The line rib-like lines of growth on the body-whorl are 

 peculiar, and the style of coloration is very remarkable. J have 

 much pleasure in naming this very interesting form after Mr. Broad- 

 way (Smith).
