MELANOPSIS CHOCTAVENSIS, n. sp. PI 3, fig. 8. 



Shell oblong-ovate ; whorls six, shouldered ; spire obtuse, the upper 

 part generally plicate ; suture impressed distinct. Body whorl constricted 

 below the shoulder, smooth on the main part ; fine revolving lines below 

 and often a few on the shoulder, sometimes continuing to the apex just 

 below the suture. Aperture oblong-ovate, canaliculate at base; outer 

 lip smooth, slightly thickened within ; columella with a thickened and 

 reflected callus. 



Localities. Hatchetigbee, Butler, Choctaw County, Ala. 



Resembles closely the figure of Melanopsis quadrata, Con., from the 

 Miocene. It is rather variable in form, very common at the typical 

 locality (Hatchetigbee). 



MELANOPSIS ANITA, n. sp. PL 5, fig. 12. 



Shell ovate, spire short, surface smooth, body whorl large; aperture 

 large, angular posteriorly, caused by a thick deposit of callus ; outer lip 

 sharp, thin ; callus reflected below, terminating in a small excision. 



Locality. Gregg's Landing, Ala. 



This species differs from Melanopsis Choctawemis, above described, by 

 its not having a caniculate aperture below the lower spire, and having a 

 larger aperture. 



TROCHUS ALABAMENHIS, n. sp. PI. 5, fig. 16. 



Shell trochiform, whorls seven, suture deeply impressed; surface marked 

 with four to six strong, revolving lines, with finer ones between, crossed 

 by numerous fine longitudinal striations, which are strongest at the inter- 

 secting points ; base of the body whorl with finer lines. Umbilicus deep, 

 defined by a sharp carina ; aperture rounded ; outer lip crenate on its 

 edge, the crenulations running some distance within ; inner lip smooth. 



Locality. Matthews' Landing, Ala. 



Generally is smaller than the type ; not rare. 



SCAPHANDER PRIMUS, Aldr. PI. 2, fig. 7 a, b. 

 Scaphander primus, Aldr. J. C. S. N. H., July, 1885. 



HAMINEA GRANDIS, n. sp. PI. 3, fig. 1. 



Shell large, very thin, broadly ovate, summit rounded, with a deep pit 

 marking the position of the spire. Surface covered with narrow, trans- 

 verse stria*,, with rounded spaces between ; spaces below the renter agrain
