  Sab. 
  — 
  Florida 
  (Reynolds). 
  

  

  This 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  1 
  have 
  only 
  seen 
  a 
  single 
  specimen, 
  was 
  

   sent 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Reynolds, 
  of 
  Florida. 
  It 
  differs 
  considerably 
  from 
  any 
  

   of 
  its 
  congeners. 
  Its 
  surface 
  is 
  rendered 
  slightly 
  rugose 
  by 
  very 
  faint 
  

   cancellatiiig 
  strice, 
  and 
  its 
  varices 
  are 
  for 
  tlie 
  most 
  part 
  tliin, 
  and 
  

   very 
  sliglitly 
  raised 
  ; 
  but 
  at 
  distant 
  intervals 
  tliere 
  are 
  a 
  few 
  mucli 
  

   stouter 
  ones. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  been 
  at 
  variance 
  with 
  several 
  eminent 
  conchologists 
  con- 
  

   cerning 
  the 
  substitution 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  Scala 
  for 
  Scalaria 
  (see 
  Ann. 
  

   Mag. 
  Nat. 
  Hist., 
  November, 
  1903). 
  I 
  am 
  now 
  glad 
  tliat 
  the 
  

   question 
  is 
  settled 
  by 
  discarding 
  both 
  these 
  names 
  in 
  favour 
  of 
  

   JEpitonium, 
  Bolton 
  (1798), 
  which 
  has 
  priority.

  I

  of 
  them 
  are 
  almost, 
  or 
  quite, 
  

   destitute 
  of 
  the 
  whitish 
  markings 
  mentioned.
