The figures represent the example from La Vigia, Trinidad, 

 dissected by me, of which I have figured the anatomy on 

 plate 35. It measures, length 17.8, diam. 6, length of aperture 

 9 mm. The spire is wide and convex except near the apex, 

 where it is somewhat attenuated. Whorls 7%, convex, very 

 glossy, yellow with a narrow gray border below the suture. 

 The first four whorls increase slowly and regularly ; the next 

 whorl widens rapidly, the suture therefore descending more 

 obliquely; after this the increase in width becomes very slow 

 again. Orbigny 's type measurements are length 19, diam. 

 6 mm. He also confused with orysacea a smaller form from 

 Santiago, perhaps specifically different. His material was 

 from several sources. 



Central Cuba: Jagua (M. Lanier, type loc.) ; around Trini- 

 dad, common (Gundlach, Pilsbry) ; limestone rocks of San 

 Jose, near Sancti Spiritus (Pilsbry) ; near Cienfuegos (Emilio 

 F. Cabada).

The largest shell I found measures, length 21, diam. 6, 

 aperture 9.7 mm. It is from the west side of La Vigia, 

 Trinidad. 



The other small Laevoleacinas of Cuba are as follows ; for de- 

 scriptions see Tryon, Vol. I, pp. 23-25.
