The stringed Adamsiella. Shell minutely umbili- 

 cated, rather narrowly turreted, fulvous, linearly 

 banded with bright-chestnut, whorls convex, decus- 

 sated with tine striae, the longitudinal striae raised in 

 fine threads, crenulated at tlie sutures, lip thinly 

 reflected.

o 



Hah. Cuba. 



The delicate longitudinal thread-like stria are paler in 

 colour than the ground of the shell, which is encircled 

 throughout with from three to four linear bands of bright- 

 chestnut. 



Species 10. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 The shell here represented is the type of Mr. Sowerby's 

 Cyclosloma chlorostoma {Adamsiella clilorostoma, Pfeiffer). 

 It appears to me to be a yellow-lipped variety of A. iyid- 

 labris. 



Species 11. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Adamsiella pi.xguis. Adams, testa subampliter nm- 

 bilicatd, acumiiiato-turritd, cinnamomeo-fuscd, submi- 

 cunte, aiifractibtis atiyiistis, rotundatis, liris sjiiralibiis 

 oblusis, striis/jite loiigitiidinalibiis miiiulis, sindpiis. 



The geeasy Adamsiella. Shell rather largely umbili- 

 cated, acuminately turreted, cinnamon-brown, rather 

 shining, whorls nan-ow, rounded, scul])ture(l with ob- 

 tuse spiral ridges and minute longitudinal strise.

 Adamsiella pinguid, Pfeifl'er. 



Hub. ? 



The oily shining aspect of this shell, after which it is 

 named, can hardly be relied on as a specific character. 



Species 13. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Adamsiella moribunda. Adams, testa nperte profnndi 

 umbiUcatu., obloiigd, solidiitsculd, liitesceitte, unfiac- 



tibiis rotundatis, mimttissime decnssatim striatis, striis 

 loiigitndinalibiis vnlidioribus, ad sut/cras crenatis, 

 labro angusie plano-Jimbriato. 



The death-like Adamsiella. Shell openly deeply 

 urabilicated, oblong, rather solid, yellowish, whorls 

 rounded, very minutely decussately striated, longi- 

 tudinal strise the stronger, crenated at the sutures, 

 lip narrowly flatly fimbriated.

 Adamsiella moribunda, Pfeiffer. 



Hub. Jamaica. 



A pale-yellowish shell, minutely decussated throughout, 

 the longitudinal strise, which are the stronger, having the 

 appearance of delicate silken cords. 



Species 13. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.)

The wondeeful Adamsiella. Shell openly deeply 

 umbilicated, oblong-conical, rather thin, whitish, in- 

 tei-ruptedly lineariy three-banded with red-brown, 

 conspicuously spotted beneath the sutures, whoris 

 rounded, granosely decussated with raised strife, liji 

 flatly fimbriated, rather callous

 Adamsiella mirabilis, Pfeifl'er. 



Hub. Jamaica. 



In this species the decussation has almost the granular 

 roughness of a thimble. 



Species 11. (]\Ius. Cuming.) 



Adamsiella mieanda. Adams, testa aperte profundi 

 wnbilicatd, oblongo-conicd, albidd, rufo-fusco inter rupti
