 umbilicatd, cylindraceo-turritd, albidd, purpurea punc- 

 tato-fasciatd et lentiginosd, anfractibm declivi-convexis,

The blotted Chondropoma. SheU compressly umbi- 



licated, cylindrically turreted, whitish, dot-banded 

 and freckled with purple, whorls slopingly convex, 

 reticulately grained throughout, crenated at the su-

 Chondropoma litturatum, Pfeiffer. 



Hab. Island of Haiti ; Salle'. 



The sculpture of this species is a fine thimble-like grain, 

 the colour a copious sprinkling of minute purple dots, dis- 

 posed at the sutures in small flames and at the base in a 

 band. 



Species 27. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 



Chondropoma dissolutum. Chond . testd compresse um- 

 bilicatd, fulvd, turritd, lineis ferrugineis longitudina- 

 liter undulatd, ad basin fasciatd, anfractibus declioi- 

 couvexis, longitudinaliter dense filo-striatis ; aperturd 

 circulari, dissolutd, superne carinatd, modice fon-

The detached Chondropoma. Shell compressly um- 

 bilicated, turreted, fulvous, longitudinally waved with 

 rust-lines, banded at the base, whorls slopingly con- 

 vex, longitudinally densely thread-striated ; aperture 

 circular, detached, keeled at the upper part, mode- 

 rately fimbriated. 



Pfeiffer, Malak. Blat. 1854, p. 158. 



Hab. Cuba. 



This species is probably a variety of C. integrum.
