Distribution, Jamaica; mountains of the interior. 



Of the several names proposed for this group, Anoma has priority. 

 It has the disadvantage of being preceded by Anomus, which some 

 writers would hold to be identical. Those adhering to this view 

 will adopt the name Inliaculus of Schaufuss ; but pending some con- 

 certed action upon this point in " nymology " the oldest name may 

 be allowed to stand. 



The dentition (PI. XVII, figs. 3 and 6, A. maugeri) is extremely 

 peculiar, differing from that of Urocoptis in having the cusps of the 

 teeth serrate.

Preponderantly Antillean, this genus has representatives upon the 

 mainland bordering the Gulf of Mexico from Venezuela to Florida. 

 These peripheral species are apparently all members of the section 

 Microceramus. In the West Indies the genus is present on nearly 

 every island, but is especially developed in Cuba, to which Spiro- 

 ceramus is confined. It is poorly represented in Jamaica by a few 

 species of ihe group Microceramus, to which the species of the 

 Bahamas likewise belong.
