I have removed this species to the genus in which Pfeif- 

 fer places it. 



BUL.IMUS GOSSKI Pfeiffer. 



T. rimata, turrito-cylindracea, oblic^ue costulata, albida, opaca, strigis 

 semilunaribus, punctisque pellucidis cornels ornata ; spira cylindracca 

 apice attonuata, acuta; sutiira crcuulata ; anfr. 11 convexi, ultimus \ 

 longitiKlinis vix superans, rotundatus, basi subangulatus ; apertura siib- 

 circularis; perist. breviter expansum, marginibus approximatis, coluniel- 

 lari reflexo, patente. Long. 11, diani. 3| mill. Ap. Z^ mill, longa, 3 J 

 lata. 



Var. (3, Paulo minor, strigis et punctis corneis obsoletioribus, (Ff'r. 

 Mon. Ilel. Viv. i. 81, &c. &c.) 



Pfeiffer gives Texas as the habitat of var. p' of this 

 species in his Monograph, and also on p. 456 of Roemer's 

 Texas it is quoted from New Brauenfels. The typical 

 specimen is from Jamaica. 



Poey (Mem. i. 395) considers Macrocerramus pontificus 

 a synonym of Bui. Gossei; the same species is referred by 

 Pfeiffer to Bui. Kieneri. 



I have seen no Texan specimen of the species, and have 

 no means of clearing the confusion which appears to exist 

 concerning it. Reeve's figure of Kieneri resembles Macr. 

 pontificus nearer than his figure of Gossei.
