530 K. J. L. GUPPY ON THE MIOCENE FOSSILS OP HAITI. 



92. Corbttla vieta, Guppy, G. J. vol. xxii. p. 580, pi. xxvi. fig. 8. 



According to Gabb this is G. disparilis of D'Orbigny. I am not 

 prepared to assert the specific identity of the recent with the fossil 

 shell, although the latter is found in the Eocene, Miocene, and Plio- 

 cene of the West Indies. 



Gabb records three other species of Corhula, of which one is de- 

 scribed as new. 



93. Ne^ra- ornatissima, D'Orb. 



It is possible that to this species may be referred the shell formerly 

 regarded by me as N. costellata, Dcsh. Gabb (I think, rightly) re- 

 gards as synonymous the N. altemata of D'Orbigny. 



94. Tellina eiplicata, Conrad, Tertiary Fossils, p. 36, pi. xix. 



fig. 4. 



T. Sac/rce, D'Orb. Pal. Cuba. 



Allied to T. interstrialis, T. sobmlensis, and T. ephippium. 

 I have not identified with certainty any of the other Tellince re- 

 corded by Gabb. This one is not mentioned by him. 



95. Tellidora crystallina, Chemn. 



This is recorded by Gabb, who identifies a Haitian fossil with the 

 west- coast species of the above name. I mention it only to observe 

 that I have found a shell in the West Indies which is nearly allied, 

 if not identical, presenting some slight though constant differences. 



96. Lucina tigrina, Linn. 



97. LlJCINA PENNSYLVANIA, LillU. 



98. Crassinella imartinicensis, D'Orb. 



Crassatella martinicensis, D'Orb. Moll. Cuba, vol. ii. p. 288, pi. 

 xxvii. figs. 21-23. 



0. guadelupensis, D'Orb., ib. p. 289, pi. xxvii. figs. 24-26. 



This species occurs throughout the Mioceue and Pliocene beds of 

 the West Indies. I have no doubt of the two forms named by 

 D'Orbigny being referable to one species, which belongs to the genus 

 Qouldia of C. B. Adams. The name Goiddia having been used for 

 a genus of birds, I proposed in 1874 the name Crassinella to replace 

 it for these shells. 



99. Venus paphia, Linn. 



100. Yenus Blandiana, Guppv, Geol. Mag. 1874, p. 436, pi. xvii. 

 fig. 8. 



Allied to V. rugosa. 



101. Venus Woodwardi, Guppy, G. J. vol. xxii. p. 292, pi. xviii. 

 fig. 1. 



I think it not improbable that Chione Guppyana, Gabb, belongs 

 to this species.
