520 E. J. L. GTJPPY ON THE MIOCENE FOSSILS OF HAITI.

The Torinia rotunclata of Gabb can scarcely be other than a form 

 of this species, differing, it would seem, in the greater elevation of 

 the spire and convexity of the whorls.

 Gabb considers this identical with the recent 0. reticulata. I am 

 not sure whether it is distinct from the species next named, which 

 Gabb has allowed to stand ; but it is a pronounced form whose pro- 

 portions are more elongate than those of 0. Icevescens.

Gabb includes in his list the names of 0. brevls and 0. tessellata, 

 Sow. I am inclined to think that the forms so named by him are 

 young specimens of O. Moorei and G. Icevescens respectively. 



The following species appears to me quite distinct. It does not 

 appear to have been mentioned by Gabb. 



27. Cakcellaeia epistomifeea, n. sp. (PI. XXVIII. fig. 9.) 

 Shell pyriform, scarcely rimate, adorned with stout spiral ridges 



having longitudinal ones crossing them and rising into points on 

 the intersections. 



Spire acuminate, having seven or eight whorls (of which the nu- 

 clear ones are smooth). Aperture oblong, canal short, outer lip 

 sinuous, carrying a spout-like protuberance. 



Judging from the sculpture alone, this might be taken for a form 

 of C. Barrettl or C. Icevescens. It is, however, rather more coarsely 

 sculptured than either of those species, in the latter of which the 

 last whorl is smooth, or nearly so. The sinus of the outer lip is 

 carried in a sort of spout, instead of forming a depression as in the 

 outer lip of C. Icevescens. 



Cancdlaria scalatella, Guppy (Miocene, Jamaica), does not seem 

 to have been found in Haiti (see Geol. Mag. 1874, p. 408, pi. xvii. 

 fig. 4). 



28. Oethac-lax ixoexata, Gabb. (PI. XXVIII. fig. 8.) 



0. inornatus, Gabb, Proc. Acad. N. S. Phil. 1872, p. 272, pi. ix. 

 f. 3, 4 ; Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. vol. xv. p. 234. 



To whatever genus this shell may be assigned, I have little doubt 

 of its near alliance to Rostellaria macroptera, Lam. (JStrombus am- 

 plus, Brander), of the European Eocene (Sow. Min. Conch, vol. v. 

 p. 177, tab. ccxeviii., cexcix., and ccc). The description of that shell 

 by Sowerby might, with a few alterations, be taken for that of our 

 species, even to the remarks as to the state of preservation of the fossil. 

 The differences appear principally to be that in 0. inomatus the
