THE NAUTILUS. 3 



wavy, extending across I lie whorls to th° very edge of the well- 

 impressed suture ; aperture oblique like that of Dunkeriana, but the 

 peristome is thinner and is appressed above to the penult whorl. 

 Height 13 mill., greatest breadth at the slender part of the spire 3 

 mill. 



The shell comes near to Dunkeriana, but it has 10 whorls which 

 are less planulate than on that species, and the striation is rather 

 coarser and less regular ; t lie color of Dunkeriana is also different. 

 Gloyne, in Journ. de Conch., vol. — , reports it as siinilis from Belle- 

 vue. Bland had identified them with great doubt as siinilis. On 

 closer examination they turned out to lie unlike siinilis or any other 

 Jamaican species of Anoma. 



Hab. : Bellevue, near Stony Hill, in the parish of Saint Andrews, 

 (!) Vendryes. (!) Gloyne. 



Cylindrella ( Thaumasia) sanguinea Pfeifler, var. perplexa Vendryes. 

 PI. I, figs. 11, 12. 



This variety was collected at (!) Water House, an abandoned sugar 

 estate, now turned into a grazing pen and negro provision grounds, 

 in the upper northern portion of the Liguinea plain, where the lime- 

 stone hills of the Red Hills range begin to rise. The aperture is 

 produced and the peristome is detached all round ; whilst in the 

 typical sanguinea t he peristome above is closely soldered to the 

 body-whorl, and often so much attenuated at the point of attachment 

 as to form a thin film. The shell is of medium size and dark 

 colored ; there is a narrow line of a deeper tint than the ground color, 

 but rather dingy, running next to the suture along the lower part of 

 it and extending to within it. This form is very persistent in the 

 locality mentioned. 



Cylindrella {Anoma) abnormis Vendryes. PI. I, figs. 5, fi. 



Shell deeply rimate, cylindrically elongated, color brown with a 

 very slight tint of yellowish-red, shining ; spire broadly truncate with 

 the loss of — whorls, whorls remaining 9, the last and the three fol- 

 lowing it are more drawn out and consequently deeper than the 

 remaining ones, the last is slightly narrower in diameter than the 

 second, the second than the third, and the third than the fourth, 

 thence the remaining wborlg become less deep and gradually diminish 

 in diameter to the truncated apex, so that the outline of the .shell 

 presents the form of a long, narrow, drawn-out purse, somewhat
