NO. 2016. NEW MOLLVSKS FROM THE BAHAMAS— BART8CH. 109 



CEPOLIS MAYNARDI ELEVATA, new subspecies. 

 Plate 3, figs. 4-6. 



Shell similar to C. maynardi, but much more elevated, with the 

 axial sculpture a little more strongly emphasized, the individual 

 whorls are more inflated, the aperture is considerably shorter and 

 tends toward a subcircular rather than an oval outline. Lip edged 

 with pink internally. Color bands absent. 



Eight specimens of this species were collected by Mr. Pepper 

 at Mastic Point, Andros Islands, Bahamas. Two of these, cotypes, 

 are in the U. S. National Museum, Cat. No. 250221. These have five 

 whorls and measure: Altitude, 9.8 mm., and 10.2 mm.; greatest 

 diameter, 12.5 mm. and 13.1 mm., respectively. 



LEPTINARIA BAHAMENSIS, new species. 

 Plates, fig. 2. 



Shell elongate-conic, yellowish white. Whorls seven, well rounded 

 but not inflated, marked by very fine, slender, sinuous, axial threads. 

 Sutures strongly constricted. Periphery of the last whorl well 

 rounded. Base narrowly umbUicated. Aperture oval; posterior 

 angle obtuse; half the outer lip, immediately below the summit, 

 inbent and at the same time slightly protracted into a faint claw- 

 like element; inner lip revolute, provided with a fold a little anterior 

 to its middle. Parietal wall glazed with a thin callus. 



The type. Cat. No. 250220 U.S.N.M., was collected by Mr. G. W. 

 Pepper at Mastic Point, Andros Islands, Bahamas. It measures: 

 Length 7.1 mm.; diameter 3.7 mm. 



VARICELLA GRACILLIMA BAHAMENSIS, new subspecies. 

 Plate 3, fig. 13. 



Shell similar to V. gracilliina, but having the whorls less inflated, 

 and scarcely at all shouldered at the summit, and the sutures much 

 less constricted. The ribs also in the present form are very poorly 

 developed and much more distantly spaced than in V. gracillima. 



The type, which has nine whorls, measures: Length 7.5 mm.; 

 diameter 2.0 mm.; it and three specimens. Cat. No. 180661, U.S.N.M., 

 were collected by Owen Bryant on Mangrove Cay, Andros Islands, 

 Bahamas. Cat. No. 180660, U.S.N.M., contains six specimens, 

 which are a little smaller in every way than the type lot, collected 

 by the same gentleman under leaves and bushes on a hillside near 

 Fort Charlotte, Nassau, New Providence. StiU another specimen 

 was determined for Mr. G.W. Pepper, collected on Andros Islands.
