short and central above, one (the' longest) crossing the hollow, one 

 short on the labral side, one longer (second in length), one short, 

 and two longer (third in length) below. 



Height 0-06, greatest breadth 0*089, least breadth 0*071. 



Named in compliment to my friend, Mons. Baquie, of Westmore- 

 land, Jamaica. 



This shell is closely allied to Metcalfeia Chittyana at first glance, 

 but differs in many minute particulars; the pectination on the 

 labrum is alone sufficient to distinguish it ; and their habitats are 

 about sixty miles asunder. The spire is more conical than in M, 

 Chittyana, spiral carince more distant, labium less widely detached 

 from penult whorl, upper part of labrum more produced, apex more 

 blunt. In M. Chittyana the labral lamella expands suddenly above 

 close to where it leaves the labium, rising above the plane of the 

 aperture, and then descending round the umbilicus in a uniform 

 curve without projecting ; in M. Baquieana it does not rise above 

 the plane ; but after leaving the labium, it spreads out towards the 

 centre of the umbilicus, and continues uniform till it is lost in the 

 umbilicus. In the former the lower end of the labium is on a plane 

 with the labrum, in this it is below the plane. In this, the aperture 

 is larger and more oblique, and the last whorl is less expanded. 



Metcalfeia Sutherlandiana, Chitty. 



Hab, Belmont, St. James. 



Form, depressed conic. Colour, very pale horn or white. Sculp- 

 ture, lines of growth visible ; 1 9^rather strong, inequidistant, spiral 

 carinse, with an unequal number of finer ones intervening. On the 

 upper whorls 5 carinse. Spire, moderately and rather concavely 

 elevated. Whorls, 5, moderately elevated, with a deep suture. 

 Aperture, less than a semicircle, slightly expanded in the lower two- 

 thirds, slightly oblique. Lahrum, unequally and not strongly pec- 

 tinated by the spiral carinae, very slightly produced above. Labium, 

 well detached from the body-whorl, attached to labrum above in a 

 slight curve, very slightly waved in its centre, and well curved to 

 the right below. Umbilicus, moderately deep, and labral lamella 

 moderately produced. Operculum, ? 



Height 0*072, greatest breadth 0-12, least breadth 0*079. 



Named in compliment to Dr. P. Sutherland, the Arctic voyager, 

 now Government Surveyor of Port Natal. 



Metcalfeia Morchiana, Chitty. 



Hab. Roaring River, Westmoreland. 



Form, depressed conic. Colour, very pale horn. Sculpture, 5 

 strong spiral carinse, 1 fine ; 7th strong and .3 fine ; 8th to 1 5th 

 strong and 1 fine intervening between each pair ; on the upper whorls 

 8 strong. Spire, slightly elevated, with concave outlines. Whorls, 

 4f , very slightly rounded with a slight suture. Aperture, slightly 

 expanded, more below than above ; slightly produced abruptly from 

 the penult whorl : more than a semicircle. Labrum^ thin, and very
