being a little contracted just below the smooth apex, and more 

 so just before the beginning of the permanent whorls. Fig. 

 1 of pi. 64 is from a specimen in coll. of G. H. Clapp, retaining 

 all but the first whorl ; loc., interior Clarendon.

Distinct from ambigua by its smaller size and especially 

 the more slender form. Specimens from Maroon Town and 

 Hanna Rock, five miles distant (pi. 29, figs. 18, 19), vary 

 widely in size : 



Length 16.5, diam. 4.3 mm. ; whorls 7%. 



Length 15, diam. 5.5 mm. ; whorls 



Length 21.3, diam. 5.6 mm. ; whorls 



Length 20, diam. 6.2 mm. ; whorls 



The mouth is almost circular, the upper margin of the lip

 vary a great deal in convexity, but are often more convex 

 than in U. ambigua. The basal keel is weak or almost want-

 strengthened just behind the lip, as it generally is in ambigua. 



A large series collected by Henderson and Simpson at Mont- 

 pelier, on the western border of St. James, is less variable in
