IU CRYPTOSPIRA. 



with a darker tint ; lip narrowly margined externally with 

 orange-red. Length, *5 inch. 



West Indies, Bahamas. 



Has the form of M. apicina, but differs remarkably in its 

 diaphanous texture. 



M. NITIDA, Hinds. PL 10, figs. 92, 93. 



Thin, pellucid, amber-color ; more cylindrical than M.pellucida, 

 with the spire more produced. Length, *45 inch. 



Tampa Bay, Fla. 



M. nitida was described without locality, but both description 

 and figure so entirely correspond with M. succinea, Conrad (fig. 

 93), that I cannot doubt their identity. M. zuccinea is figured 

 from the author's type. 



M. WALLACEI, Jousseaume. PI. 10, figs. 94, 95. 



Orange-brown with a central white zone ; columella obliquely 

 four-plaited ; lip white, thickened and margined, minutely and 

 irregularly dentate within. Length, 12 mill. 



Locality not certain, probably West Indies. 



The minute lip-denticulations, if permanent, Separate this 

 species widely from its nearest allies in form and coloring ; 

 otherwise it is very like a small M. carnea.
