The whorls are very convex and separated by deep sutures, sug- 

 gesting B. constrictus Pfr., a species with different apical sculpture. 

 This is the smallest of the known Protoglyptus species. 



B. SANCT^ELUCI^: (Smith). 



Shell elongated, narrowly rimate, thin, covered with a brown-cor- 

 neous, little shining epidermis ; whorls 7, convex, the earlier two 

 obliquely delicately costulate, the rest ornamented with oblique 

 growth-lines and with spiral punctate and setigerous lines, separated 

 by a simple but deep [profunda] suture ; the last whorl paler below 

 and toward the lip, girt about the middle with an inconspicuous 

 narrow, pale zone. Aperture small, whitish, about two-fifths the 

 total length of shell ; peristome thin, hardly expanded, the colu- 

 mellar margin broadly reflexed, nearly covering the umbilical 

 chink. Alt. 21, diam. 9 ; aperture 8 mill, long, 5 wide. (Smith').

Bulimus (Leptomerus) sanctcelucice SMITH, Ann. Mag. N. H. (6), 

 iii, p. 403 (May, 1889). 



This species is somewhat intermediate in form between B. chrysa- 

 lis Pfr. and B. martinicensis Pfr. It is, however, well distinguished 

 by the sculpture of the apical whorls and the pilose punctured striae 

 of the rest. The reflexion of the columella also is different. (Smith). 



Var. LUCI^E Pilsbry, n. v. PI. 12, fig. 43. 



Shell long, ovate-conic, narrowly umbilicate, thin; yellowish- 

 brown or reddish-brown. Surface slightly shining, with oblique 

 growth lines and very numerous spiral Hues of closely placed, short, 

 stiff hairlets, mostly or entirely rubbed off in adult shells. Spire 

 long and straightly conic, the apex obtuse, If nepionic whorls with 

 regular delicate vertical riblets. Whorls 7, somewhat convex, the 

 suture well marked but not deep. 



Aperture slightly oblique, irregularly ovate, fleshy-whitish with- 

 in ; peristome thin and simple, the outer margin almost impercepti- 

 bly expanded, basal margin well expanded ; columella flesh-colored, 

 concave, the margin flatly dilated and reflexed. Alt. 22, diam. 12, 

 alt. of aperture 10 mill.
