small, not over robust, shining. Last whorl and part of the 

 penult., and the three upper whorls of the decollated apex, of 

 a deep rich brown; intermediate space of a light olive-brown. 

 Lip and behind the lip rose-pink except where it is inter- 

 rupted by the sharp white keel, which extends over one-half 

 of the last whorl. Next below the suture is a gradually- 

 widening white line, commencing at one-half of the penult, 

 whorl and terminating at the rose-pink behind the lip. 

 Whorls iy 2 . Transverse striae well marked on one-half of 

 the last whorl, obsolete above. Lip very oblique, with a deep 

 sinus on the left side. Length .64, breadth .21 inch " (CyL 

 m. var. pulchella Chitty, Contrib., p. 8). 



Manchester? (Chitty, two specimens). Specimens from 

 Mr. Jarvis' collection (pi. 13, figs. 10, 11) from the Cockpit 

 country near Troy, St. Elizabeth, agree fairly with Chitty ? s 

 description, except in the paler intermediate whorls. The 

 glossy shell is whitish, with a brown or fleshy tint, the upper 

 whorl dark brown. The last whorl, and the lower part of the 

 preceding whorl, are also dark brown, with a widening white 

 band below the suture, and another on and above the basal 

 keel. The face and reverse of the sinuous lip are rose-pink. 

 The broad median dark belt on the latter part of the last 

 whorl runs directly into the pink and brown at the back of 

 the lip in some specimens, but in that figured (pi. 13, f. 10) 

 a white streak intervenes. The columella is more or less trun- 

 cate within, and the columellar margin of the lip is deeply 

 notched at the insertion, the edge being reflexed, and either 

 adnate or leaving a small umbilical chink. The basal keel is 

 strong, and longer than in A. splendens. The surface is 

 smooth except for some fine striae near the end of the last 

 whorl. Specimens measure from 17 x 5.7 mm. to 18 x 5.4 

 mm., with 7% to 9 whorls. One of this lot is figured. Ex- 

 cept in having wider white bands at suture and keel, these 

 shells are similar to those below referred to var. pulla. 



A. dohrniana seems to have the coloration of pulchella, but 

 differs by its more slender contour. A. splendens is larger 

 than pulchella, without a white basal band, and with less, 

 deeply notched lip-ends.
