294 LIMICOLARIA, EAST AFRICA. 



above, with wide dark stripes, which on the last and preced- 

 ing whorls split into numerous fine branches above, similar 

 to L. martensiana var. multifida, but in a more marked de- 

 gree and for a greater distance. According to Bourguignat, 

 there is a further character in the peculiar sinuation of the 

 outer lip (fig. 2). In the shell collected by Stuhlmann 

 (fig. 3) the lip is so defective that it does not show whether 

 there was such a curvature; or perhaps that would only 

 develop with further growth (Marts.). 



Length 67, diam. 21, apert. 26x10 mm. (Bgt.). 



Length 47.5, diam. 18, apert. 17x9.5 mm. (Marts.). 



Kibanga, in the southern part of the Ubuari peninsula,

Somewhat smaller (length 46, diam. 17, apert. 20 mm.),

 between Tabora and Ujiji. 



66. L. ACUMINATA Martens. PL 31, fig. 12. 



Long-conic, rather strongly striate, very finely granulose, 

 and plicate at the suture, rather glossy, straw-yellow with 

 red-brown stripes, which become broadly angular in the 

 middle, towards the suture narrow and more numerous. 

 Spire strongly tapering above, the apex obtuse. Seven (?) 

 nearly level, regularly widening whorls, the last ( ?) ob- 

 tusely angular, the stripes very oblique on its lower side, 

 and more or less united into a uniform brown color. Aper- 

 ture ovate; columellar margin vertical, rather broadly re- 

 flexed, reddish- violet. Length 30, diam. 15, aperture 14 x 8.5 

 mm. (Marts.). 



Gallery forest on the Boa river, northwest of Lendu, west
