West Indies. 



D. solida, Adams, D. cuprea, Reeve (fig. 98), and D. nigres- 

 cenSj Gray (PL 15, fig. 13), are synonyms the latter described 

 from a small specimen. D. nigrescens, Adams = nigrescens, 

 Gray, and has priority of publication over that species, as well 

 as fuscexcens : I think it better not to disturb the well-known 

 name of the species, as Adams' description was not accompanied 

 by a figure, and could not be positively identified until Adams 

 himself subsequently pointed out that it was the same shell as 

 that figured by Reeve as nigrescens, Gray. 



D. HARPULARIA, Desmoulins. PL 14, fig. 99. 



Chestnut- or chocolate-color, spire more slenderly elongated ; 

 canal 'longer and more compressed than the preceding species ; 

 the revolving lines do not form granules on the ribs.

 above it, ribs crossed by spiral striae ; yellowish brown, with
