This, is the species usually labelled L. undulata in collections. 

 It was first figured by Ferrusac along with L. aureola under the name 

 Helicina aureola. The two figures on Ferrusac 's plate 49A numbered 

 1 represent a form covered with granules which he considered to 

 be a variety of Helix aureola and which is the common species of 

 Lucidella in the Manchester district. C. B. Adams refers to this 

 form as follows: '*A variety of Lucidella aureola is so strongly sculp- 

 tured with granules that it will be convenient to designate the 

 variety with the name of granulosa.^' (Adams, loc. cit.) This was 

 in 1850, and eleven years afterwards, in 1861, Pfeiffer describes 

 this form, referring to Ferrusac's figure above mentioned, under 

 the name of L. undulata. It is by this name of Pfeiffer's that the 

 species is generally known, although the granulosa of Adams ante- 

 dates Pfeiffer's name by eleven years. Inasmuch as C. B. Adams 

 collected in the Mandeville region in Manchester, it is very likely 

 that his granulosa came from this district. In a former paper* 

 it is recorded in the Mandeville region from Benmore, Bloomfield, 

 Sturridge place, Cedar Hill, Lower Santa Cruz Road, ridge near 

 Lincoln, Somerset, Somerset Road, and it was also collected on 

 the Kendal Road north of Mandeville as well as several otner places 

 in this vicinity. Most of the specimens of this species in the 

 A. N. S. P. Collection were taken by me in 1910, but there are three 

 or four trays simply recorded as from ''Jamaica," one of which 

 marked "Swift Collection" is of especial interest. This lot probably 

 came from H. Vendries, of Kingston, and is marked on the collector's 

 label "L, aureola Fer. var. gra7iidosa"; they possess the characters 

 which seem to distinguish this species in a pronounced degree. 

 If these are Vendries specimens they no doubt came from St. Andrews 

 Parish. They may be described as follows: 



Lucidella granulosa C. B. Ad. (Swift Collecton A. N. S. P.) Plate I, figs 1-3. 



Shell somewhat convexly conoidal, rather thick, somewhat 

 keeled on the periphery and wrinkled, in the direction of the growth 

 lines, radially from the apex; color reddish-brown, mottled with 

 whitish; of about 6 whorls; sculpture of raised spiral lines or lirae,
