distinctly, though narrowly expanded, the basal lip straightened, 

 reflexed ; rather suddenly dilated at the columellar insertion, half 

 covering the umbilicus; parietal callus scarcely perceptible.

This species belongs to the group of E. succincta, differing from 

 that form in the more globose and conic shell, rather acute spire, 

 and straightened basal lip. It is named in honor of Mr. H. E. 

 Sargent, the efficient curator of the museum of the University of 

 Michigan. 



ZONITIDJE. 

 Lamprocystis spadix S and B., var. cinctus n. v. 



Shell white, with a supraperipheral red-brown band. Formosa 

 (J. B. Steere). Numerous examples of the typical L. spadix were 

 also taken by Mr. Steere. 



Vitrinoconus Moellendorffi n. sp. 



Shell high-conic, thin, light brown ; rather strongly but irregu- 

 larly striate, the striae slightly arcuate, weaker beneath and dis- 

 appearing on the early whorls ; outlines of the spire almost straight, 

 the apex obtuse. Whorls 9, very slowly increasing, very slightly 

 convex, the sutures filled by a seam-like cord; last whorl acutely 

 keeled, the keel compressed, projecting; base slightly convex. 

 Umbilicus contained 3J times in the total diameter of the shell, 

 well-like, with flattened sides, bordered by a projecting and com- 

 pressed cord-like keel. Aperture oblique, small; acutely angular 

 at the position of the peripheral keel, and emarginate where the 

 umbilical keel terminates; the basal margin arcuate; peristome 

 perceptibly thickened, the outer lip simple, basal and columellar 

 margins a little expanded. 



Alt. 7.7, diam. 10 mm.; umbilicus 3 mm. 



Alt. 8. 2, diam. 10 mm. ; umbilicus 3 mm.

This species belongs to the " group of V. cyathellus" in Dr. 

 von Mollendorff's excellent arrangement of the genus (Semper 5 s 

 Eeisen, VIII, p. 42), and to the first division of that group in 

 von Mollendorff's key, which to accommodate this species may be 

 supplemented thus:
