AMPHIBULIMA. 239 



ot the last half whorl rapidly descending. Spire rather slender, its 

 length contained 4^ to 4| times in that of the shell. Aperture large, 

 irregularly oblong, the outer lip somewhat blunt, strongly arcuate 

 above, retracted or waved backward at the position of the slight 

 "shoulder"; somewhat effuse below. Columella arcuate, thin. 



Alt. 19, diam. 10.5, length of aperture 15, length of spire 4.3 mill. 



Alt. 18.5, diara. 10, length of aperture 14.7, length of spire 3.8 mill.

Less fragile than A. pardal/'na, with less obtuse apex and irreg- 

 ularly arcuate outer lip, which curves transversely at the posterior 

 insertion, and is waved backward where the arcuate upper arc joins 

 the straighter outer portion. The nepionic shell is very finely longi- 

 tudinally wrinkled, the wrinkles slightly decussated by spiral lines. 



A. KA \VSONIS Bland. 



Shell ovate-oblong, thin, with rather rib-like stria? irregularly de- 

 cussated by impressed lines parallel with the suture ; shining, scarcely 

 pellucid, rather dark horn-colored, ornamented with a very few red- 

 dish spots. Spire short, rather obtuse, rufous ; with a reddish line 

 beneath the impressed suture. Whorls 3, the last convex, much 

 deflex^d at the aperture ; eolumella callous, receding. Aperture 

 oblique, oblong-oval, coerulescent within ; peristome simple, slightly 

 thickened, right margin sinuous, columellar margin arcuate. Length 

 18, diam. 10 mill.; aperture 14 mill, long, 9 wide (Bland}.

Amphibulima rawsonis BLD., Ann. of the Lye. Nat. Hist, of N. 

 Y., xi, p. 199 (1875). BINNEY, t. c., p. 187, pi. 13, f. C (genitalia), 

 pi. 14, t. E (teeth); Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., iii, p. 118, pi. 13, f. H, 

 G (teeth). 



This species is most nearly allied in form to A. pardalina Guppy, 

 of Dominica. Its radula is characterized by the very great size of 

 the central teeth. I have not seen a specimen.
