NOTES ON SOME LAND SHELLS OF EASTERN CUBA. 



BY CHARLES T. RAMSDEN. 



Recent collections have added two species to the Cuban 

 fauna, one a Haitian Macroceramus, the other a tiny Luci- 

 della, first described from Florida. A few other new forms 

 are now described, to be illustrated when enough others come 

 to hand to make a plate. 



PLEURODONTE (Caracolus) SAGEMON GOODRICHI n. subsp. 



The shell is imperforate, with elevated, dome-shaped spire, 

 the chief height of which is in the penultimate whorl, those 

 above being depressed. Last whorl indistinctly angular in 

 front, becoming rounded. Peristome white, its outer margin 

 rounded, not provided with a point. There are black bands 

 above and below and a faint brown line upon the periphery; 

 ground-color yellow (chamois) except above the upper band, 

 where it is hazel or kaiser brown. Summit and a band above 

 the suture on the spire are whitish. Alt. 21!/2, diam. 301/2 mm. 



La subida a "La Hembrita," Monte Toro, Guantanamo, 

 very close to where Urocoptis (Idiostemna) pilsbryana was 

 found. 



Named for my friend Mr. Calvin Goodrich, of Toledo, Ohio. 

 This elevated race is obviously different from the high forms 

 figured by Pfeiffer in Novitates Conchologicce, pi. 91, figs. 3 

 to 6, the latter being acutely keeled.
