siana (fig. 35) has 88 rows of 12 1 12 teeth, with 6 perfect late- 

 rals. A comparison of this description and figure with that of 

 Lehmann, pi. XIV., fig. 53, will prove that this species cannot be 

 identical with P. pygmsea of Europe, as has been suggested by 

 Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1872, 246).

V. ovata (see above figure 33) has 90 rows of 14 1 14 teeth 

 apparently with 9 perfect laterals. The species has been referred 

 to P. antivergo, but the figure of the dentition of that species given 

 by Lehmann (pi. XIV., fig. 52) does not sustain the theory of iden- 

 tity. 



V. ventricom has 98 rows of 13 1 13 teeth, with 6 perfect 

 laterals (fig. 36). 



V. simplex, not observed.

But one species, S. incana, Binn., is found within our limits. I 



have found it to agree in the characters of its jaw and lingual 



membrane with the extralimital species which I have examined, 8. 



iostoma, mumia, and decumana. Semper, however (Phil. Arch. 



128), describes the jaw of S. uva as being without median projec- 



_. _, tion to its cutting edge ; that character, therefore, 



Fig. 37. ' 



cannot be considered generic. 



Jaw of S. incana (fig. 37) arcuate, thick, coarse, 



of about equal height to its bluntly truncated ends : 



s. incana. cutting edge with a slightly produced median pro- 

 jection. Anterior surface without ribs.
