Cancellaria dariena var. trachyostraca Brown and Pilsbry, 191 r, Proc. 

 Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vol. 63, p. 345, pi. 23, figs, i, 2. 



This species is most abundant in the Canal Zone. It is dis- 

 tinguished from the Barretti Guppy, which it most closely re- 

 sembles by its shorter spire, larger body-whorl and a more irreg- 

 ular spiral sculpture. A large specimen from Mt. Hope, C. Z. , 

 has the following dimensions: Length 38, diameter 22; last whorl 

 30 mm. Shorter and more globose shells form the variety tra- 

 chyostraca Brown and Pilsbry.

This species is the West Indian Miocene analogue or the re- 

 cent Cancellaria reticulata Linne. The most important differ- 

 ence to be noted between the two shells is that in Barretti the 

 columellar plicse are more anteriorly situated and heavier. It 

 is a Miocene fossil in the Bowden beds of Jamaica.

Shell of medium size, solid; nucleus of 3, small, smooth 

 whorls; post-nuclear whorls 5, sutures deep; the whorls are 

 slightl}^ channeled or coronated just below the sutures; sculp- 

 ture is evenly but coarsely reticulated by numerous, slightly ob-
