Santo Domingo. 2* It resembles P . gup pyi, and the Sa,nto Domingan 

 specimens should be compared with that species. The specimens 

 reported from the Canal Zone as Lupia perovata Conr. also need 

 comparison with .4. guppyi. Mr. Guppy appears to have identified 

 this species with Natica phasianelloides Orb.,^^ but that is a very 

 large species, 70 mm. long, and otherwise different in shape. 



This species and the next have not the channelled suture of A maitr- 

 opsis, and perhaps belong to Ampullina or Lupia. 



Amauropsis altispira (Gabb) Text-fig. 20. 



Eutropia allispira Gabb, Tr. Am. Philos. Soc, xv, 1873, p. 242. 



The shell is imperforate, polished, composed of 5^ 

 rounded whorls, which slope below the suture. The 

 columella is slightly thickened, and is dilated slight- 

 ly above the axial region. Outer lip is broken. 



Length 4.4, diam. 2.75 mm. 



In our opinion, this is not a Phasianella {Eutropia) . 

 It appears to be a rather narrow species of ^/w- 

 auropsis. The specimen is probably not adult, but 

 Fig. 20. it is not the young of A . guppyi or of any other 



Amauropsis known species of these beds.

Amauropsis burnsii meridionalis n. subsp. Plate XXXIV, figs. 23, 24. 



Close to Polynices (Amauropsis) burnsii Dall, of the Chipola bed, 

 but differing by the shallower, iiat-bottomed channel along the su- 

 ture, the parapet bounding it being narrower. The aperture is not 

 so wide as in burnsii. Lip very narrowly reflected. 



Length 23.4, diam. 18 mm.; 5 whorls remaining. 



Type No. 2876 A. N. S. P. 



Sinum excentricum (Guppy) ^^ is not represented in the Gabb col-

2^ Paleontologie of de la Sagra's Cuba; p. 9, pi. 1, fig. 7. It was found near 

 Havana. Some doubt has been expressed by Doctor Dall as to whether the 

 Palenntologie was ever properly pubhshed, but I have seen two copies of both 

 text and plates. The text (French edition) bears date of 1853 on the title page, 

 and as d 'Orbigny dates the new species 1852, it is likely that the plates were pub- 

 hshed in that year, or perhaps that was the date of the Spanish edition.
