HISPANIOLAN AND BAHAMAN ANNULARIIDAE 123 



U.S.N.M. No. 380136 contains 8 specimens collected by Eyerdam one- 

 half mile north of Miragoane. 



U.S.N.M. No. 380018 contains 26 specimens collected by Eyerdam i 

 mile north of Miragoane. 



U.S.N.M. No. 380060 contains i specimen collected by Eyerdam 2 

 miles northeast of Miragoane. 



A specimen received from Rolle (U.S.N.M. No. 504070), collected 

 at Miragoane, is labeled "variety violacea Maltzan." It agrees in every 

 way with typical rollei, except in color. 



These series of specimens show that this dark-colored shell described 

 by Maltzan as variety violacea is merely a color variant and not a zoogeo- 

 graphic race ; I therefore do not recognize it as a subspecies.

Shell ovate, buff, with a reddish tinge ; this is particularly true of the 

 early whorls. Peristome white. Nuclear whorls 2, inflated, strongly 

 rounded, microscopically granulose, forming a small gently tapering 

 apex. Postnuclear whorls inflated, strongly rounded, and marked by 

 slightly retractively curved, sublamellar axial riblets, which are retrac- 

 tively slanting and are rendered nodulose at their free edge by the 

 weak spiral thread. Of these axial ribs, 142 are present on the last turn. 

 Of the spiral threads, which are considerably wider than the axial ribs, 

 16 occur between the summit and the periphery of the last whorl. Suture 

 rather strongly, deeply, narrowly channeled. Periphery inflated, well 

 rounded. Base moderately long, narrowly umbilicated, and marked by 

 the continuation of the axial ribs and 10 spiral threads, which are a 

 little stronger than those on the spire. On the umbilical wall eight spiral 

 threads, still stronger, are visible, and there are probably more, but the 

 reflected peristome hides them. Aperture oval; peristome double, the 

 outer very strongly expanded, forming a slight auricle at the posterior 

 angle, of almost the same width except the parietal wall, which is much 

 narrower and adnate to the preceding turn; the outer peristome is 

 marked by concentric laminae; the inner peristome is slightly exserted, 

 reflected and appressed to the outer. Operculum typically licinid. 



I have figured Weinland's type (U.S.N.M. No. 425686), which came 

 to the Smithsonian Institution from its author. The specimen came from 

 "a moist wooded valley 8 hours from Jeremie" and is said to constitute 

 the food of a lizard. It has 4.8 whorls remaining and measures : Height, 

 24.0 mm. ; greater diameter, 14.7 mm. ; lesser diameter, 12.0 mm.
