42 THE NAUTILUS. 



Shorter and broader than the following species, with the shoulder- 

 angles of the ribs nearer the suture. 



Scala sagamiensis, n. sp. 



This species is closely related to S. kainakurana, from which it 

 diflFers in the following respects : The shell is more slender, sutures 

 deeper. The spiral cords are somewhat stronger, eight or nine on 

 the penultimate, thirteen on the last whorl, the intervals below the 

 suture and above the spirals being smooth. Ribs rather narrow and 

 delicate, with occasional higher ones interposed at irregular intervals. 

 The smaller ribs are either unarmed or but weakly angular above, 

 but the larger ones have distinct points above, further from the suture 

 than in S. kamahurana. There are fifteen ribs on the last whorl. 

 The aperture is very shortly-oval. Peristome continuous, the outer 

 varix bearing a point above; colum.ellar margin dilated at the base; 

 parietal callus spreading forward. 



Length 11, diam. 4 mm.; whorls remaining 8, the first one 

 smooth, the apical whorls wanting.

NEW CUBAN UROCOPTIDAE I. 



BY PROFESSOR CARLOS DE LA TORRE. 



The species described below were collected by the writer in the 

 northeastern angle of Santa Clara Province, from Remedios to the 

 Camaguay boundary, chiefly in the Sierras near the northern coast, 

 which maj be reached from the towns of Remedios, Yaguajay and 

 Mayajigua. 



Being Gongylostomse, the species are of the west Cuban type, but 

 they have a particular facies of their own. The prevalence of forms 

 belonging to the section Esochara is an interesting feature of this 

 fauna. 



Illustrations of all the following species will accompany the con- 

 cluding paper.
