CYLINDROBULLA. 381 



verse or spiral direction. I cannot agree with Messrs. Adams that 

 Fischer's genus Cylindrobulla is the same as Lophocercus, nor with 

 Monterosato in considering it a section of Acera; although the 

 generic characters require some amendment. (Jeffr.'). 



C. FISCHERI Adams & Angas. Unfigured.

This species differs from C. beaui Fisch., which is the only other 

 described, and which inhabits Guadaloupe, in being white, in the 

 spire being more conspicuous, and especially in the posterior extrem- 

 ity being strongly striate, the striae ending abruptly at the distance 

 of about a line from the suture. (A. & A.).
