136 gibbons: on land shells of CURA9AO. 



Succinea gyrata, sp. nov. 



Testa oMongo-ovata, pertenuis, pellucida, nitlde-striata^ cornea (?) ; 



anfr. 4, angusti, convexi; spira elongata ; apex acutus ; sutura 

 perobliqua, profunda; apertura obliqiia, elongato-ovata ; cohi- 



mella arcuata, leviter callosa. 

 Long. 12 mill.., diani. 61 mill. ; apert. long. J mill.., diam. 4^ mill. 



Shell oblongo-ovate, veiy thin, pellucid, distinctly and some- 

 what irregularly striate by lines of growth, shining, horn color; 

 whorls 4, convex, narrow, spire elongate, twisted, apex acute; 

 suture very oblique, deep and broad ; mouth elongato-ovate, 

 oblique; pillar lip sharply curved, slightly callous. 



St. Ann's, under stones. A very distinct form having an 

 unusually elongated spire with a very deep suture. 



The above described species was obtained during a hasty 

 visit paid to St. Ann's in the autumn of 1S77. At the same time 

 I obtained the following: — Steiiogyra ocionoides and Pupa fallax, 

 both of wide range in the W. Indies, Cylindrella Ravejii and 

 Cistula Raveni, peculiar to the island, and four others that 

 require more detailed notice. 



Bulimulus muitilineatus, Say. I found the so-called type 

 (agreeing exactly with the top figure on plate 58, W. G. Binney's 

 'Terr. Moll.,' vol. V.) at Santa Martha; at St. Ann's a variety 

 occurred (? var. Sisale/isis) differing in little but the absence of 

 the sutural band. A similar variety was found at Savanilla and 

 Carthagena, in each instance unaccompanied by type. 



Strophia uva, L. Two forms, one hardly more than half the 

 length of the other. I found a half-grown specimen (dead) nej»r 

 the beach at Santa Martha, most probably brought from Curagao. 

 In Woodward's Manual, p. 531, Guadaloupe is erroneously given 

 as the home of this species — the mistake is repeated in Paetel's 

 Catalogue. 



Macroceramus inermis, Gundl. Appears to be the same
