522 R. J. L. GUPPY ON THE MIOCENE EOSSILS OF HAITI. 



Nearly related to M. eornucervi, Mart. (= brevifrons = M. cal- 

 titrwpa of some authors). 



34. Murex textilis, Gabb. (PL XXIX. fig. 1.) 



Murex textilis, Gabb, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. vol. xv. p. 202. 



This species is a member of the group Pteronotus, and is allied to 

 the following species, and more closely to the first named than either 

 of the others : — 



M.festivus, Hinds, Yoy. Sulph. pi. iii. figs. 13, 14. 



M. pinniger, Prod. ; Wood, I. T. Suppl. Murex 4. 



M. trijpterus, Porn ; Reeve, C. I. Murex 55. 



M. macroptcron, Desk. ; Peeve, C. I. Murex 123. 



M. gambiensis, Reeve. 



M. cyclopterus, Millet, J. Conch. 1875, p. 147. 



Under M. textilis, Gabb, I include M. compactus, Gabb. 



35. Teophon dominicensis, Gabb, I. c. p. 202. 



The description of this species seems not to be inapplicable to 

 Murex collatus, Guppy (Geol. Mag. 1874, p. 433, pi. xvi. fig. 8), and 

 may refer to the same species. There is a specimen of Trophon in 

 the Society's collection upon which I cannot venture to decide, as it 

 seems different. 



36. Typhis alatus, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 48, pi. x. fig. 4. 



I have recorded this species from the Miocene of Jamaica and the 

 Pliocene of Trinidad. 



The form described by Gabb as T. obesus is represented in the 

 Society's collection ; and I have it also from Jamaica ; it is not 

 specifically distinct from T. alatus. 



37. Ran ella ceassa, Dillw. G. J. vol. xxii. pi. xviii. fig. 9. 



38. Teitox domingensis, Gabb, pi. P. fig. 2. 



Triton domingensis, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. vol. xv. p. 212. 



39. Triton yabiegatus, Lam. 



40. Triton eemoealis, Linn. 



41. Triton gemmatus, Reeve. 



42. Persona simillima, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 48. 



Persona simillima, Guppy, G. J. vol. xxii. pi. xvii. fig. 13. 



Gabb remarks on the alliance of this species with P. constricta of 

 the west coast of America. It is, however, as near to the recent 

 Persona reticularis, Linn., found somewhat rarely in the West Indies, 

 and to P. clathrata, a closely related form from the east coast of 

 Africa (Madagascar) and Ceylon.
