 Coralliophaga coralliophaga Dall, Trans. Wagner Inst. Sci., vol. 3, 



pt. 6, p. 1498, 1903. 



We obtained several perfect specimens of a very delicate and 

 fragile shell resembling d'Orbigny' s figure of C. Hombeckiana 

 which fide Dall is identical with Gmelin' s species, C. corallio- 

 phaga, now living in the Antilles and occurring as a fossil in the 

 Pliocene of Florida.

Genus Crassinella Guppy 



Crassinella Guppyi Dall 

 Plate 26, Figure 21 



Gouldia Martinicensis Gabb, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc, vol. 15, p. 252, 



1873. Not of d'Orbigny. 

 Crassiiellites {Crassinella) Guppyi Dall, Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 



vol. 19, p. 326, pi. 30, fig. 5, 1896; Trans. Wagner Inst. Sci., vol. 3, 



pt. 6, p. 1476, 1903. 



Our shell appears a trifle less oblique and flatter than the fig- 

 ure of C. Gtippyi, and is longer in proportion to its height. But 

 as this genus shows considerable variation in form in a given 

 species, our specimen is probably identical with the Bowden shell- 

 Also reported from Matura, Trinidad. 



Locality. — (Exp'd '16) Bluff 2, Cercado de Mao. (Rare).
