 Cyprcea Isabella Gabb, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc, vol. 15. p. 235, 1873. 

 Not Cyprcea Isabella Linne, Syst. Nat., p. 1177, 1767. 



We have a specimen of Gabb's labelled by him C. Isabella 

 Linne, from Santo Domingo. But on comparing it with a shell 

 of that species from Ceylon the resemblance is only one of general 

 type. The fossil is sub -cylindrical; aperture nearly straight, 

 very narrow; teeth numerous, fine, thirty-three on the outer lip. 

 Length 28, width 14, thickness 1 1 mm. 



We collected some shells resembling Gabb's. The specific 

 name proposed is in honor of the three liberators of the Domini- 

 can Republic. 



Locality.— (Exp'd' '16) Bluff 1, Cercado de Mao.

 found elsewhere.
