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



It bears much likeness to a shell recently described by Sowerby as 

 O. gracilis (Zool. Proc. 1875, p. 125, pi. xxiv. f. 6). 



79. Conus marginatus, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 44. (PI. XXIX. fig. 5.) 



I believe the specimens from Cumana, which I formerly attributed 

 to 0. haitensis, really belong to C. marginatus — a mistake due to 

 want of figures. 



80. CoNtrs peanieiratus, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 44. 



C. planiliratus, Guppy, G. I. vol. xxii. p. 287, pi. xvi. f. 7. 

 Gabb identifies this with C. Stearnsi, Conrad, Florida. 



81. Conus haitensis, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 44. 

 C. symmetricus, Sow. I. c. p. 44, pi. ix. f. 1. 

 C. domingensis, Sow. 1. c. p. 45. 



I adopt the above synonymy from Prof. Gabb. The shell de- 

 scribed by me as C. prototypus may possibly be the same as O. 

 strombiformis, Gabb. 



Of the other species of Conus enumerated by Prof. Gabb I have 

 no knowledge. All the West-Indian Miocene forms I have seen 

 may be assigned to one or other of the species named above — though, 

 owing to the great range of variation, some difficulty is sure to be 

 felt until the student has obtained a closer acquaintance with these 

 fossils. 



82. Mitea Henekeni, Sow. G. I. vol. vi. p. 46, pi. ix. f. 5. 



I have recognized no other Mitre than this in the "West-Indian 

 Miocene ; and I should be inclined to place under it most, if not all, 

 of the forms described by Gabb under different specific names — the 

 only exception being M. tortuosa, which Prof. Gabb states to belong 

 to the group Costellaria, Swains., and to be akin to M. semifasciata, 

 Lam. The M. varicosa of Sowerby has not been identified either by 

 Prof. Gabb or myself. It is possible that M. titan, Gabb, may be 

 a valid species. 



83. Yolttta pulcheeea, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 46, pi. 9. f. 4. 



Gabb is. right in considering V. soror, Sow., to belong to this spe- 

 cies. It has no characters by which even to separate it as a variety. 

 I have not met with Scajpha striata, Gabb. 



84. Harginelea coxeformis, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 45 ; Guppy, G. J. 



vol. xxii. p. 288, pi. xvii. f. 2. 



So. Margtnelea Sowerbyi, Gabb, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. vol. xv. 

 p. 221. (PI. XXYIII. fig. 1.) 



86. Cypr^a Henekeni, Sow. G. J. vol. vi. p. 45, pi. ix. fig. 3. 



87. Cypr^ea Gabbiaxa, n. sp. (Plate XXIX. fig. 10.) 



The cowry for which I propose the above name has hitherto been 

 considered by me to be C. pustulata, and has been identified by
