THE NAUTILUS. 29 



Orleans. It differs from both in color and texture. S. yrosvenon 

 Lea (of which S. greeri Try on is a synonym) has a longer spire and 

 smaller last whorl. 



While it seems strange that a new Succinea should be found in so 

 well known a district of the middle west, yet I am unable to identify 

 the form found by Mr. Daniels with any described species. 



It was found in 1904 just south of New Harmony on the hillside 

 facing the west between the marl cliffs and the highway. 



ON SOME NEW VAEIETIES OF CYPRAEA. 



BY SLOMAN ROUS. 



Cyprcea miliaris var. Brookei n. var. 



Dorsal surface light yellowish-brown with a subquadrate patch of 

 a shade darker color, sprinkled with very faint, scarcely perceptible 

 spots of lighter color, base and extremities pure, shining white, colu- 

 mella tinged with same color but lighter than dorsal surface. 

 Long. 29, lat. 17.3, height 14.5 mm. Philippines. 



This beautiful little shell is in the collection of Mrs. J. M. Brooke, 

 of Lexington, Va., who received it from a friend in Cebu, P. I. 



Cyprcea capensis var. Elizabethensis n. var. 



Rather wider and higher in proportion to its length than is usual 

 in normal capensis, with the irregular brown patch so often found in 

 this species, but with the dorsal line (which in C, capensis is usually 

 very indistinct and often invisible, being crossed by the lira?) very 

 broad, distinct and smooth. The lirse on the outer side of the shell 

 are painted with the same color as the dorsal patch. Length 29, 

 width 18.2, height 14 mm. Port Elizabeth, Cape of Good Hope. 



I lived in Port Elizabeth over forty years during which I collected 

 very many specimens of C. capensis, and saw, I think, almost all the 

 shells about which there was anything unusual that were taken by 

 the other local collectors all of whom were my intimate friends. 1 

 do not recollect seeing a shell like this and I scarcely think it could 

 have escaped my notice. The most remarkable difference between 

 it and the type form being the brown color of the ribs below the 

 dorsal line.
