Hab. Island of Hayti. 



The waved pattern of the lines with which this species 

 is encircled, is produced by the intrusion of the striie of 

 growth. The colouring matter is moved up and down 

 by the successive imeven additions of calcareous matter, 

 giving to the surface somewhat the appearance of ;in im- 

 perfectly joined piece of weaving.
