Purpura miocenica n. sp. PI. I, f. 9.* 



Subpyriform, rather ventricose above, rimate, nar- 

 rowed and produced anteriorly, adorned with longitudi- 

 nal ribs (about 10 to the whorl) which are crossed by coarse 

 rugose high narrow spiral ridges or threads. Whorls 

 about 6, apex acuminate. Pillar lip smooth, reflected 

 over the shallow umbilical fissure. Canal produced. Outer 

 lip sharply dentate by the spiral ridges, length about 

 2 1 , breadth about 1 5 mm . 



The outer la}^er of the shell is usually removed, and 

 where this is the case each spiral rib appears to be double ; 

 but when the outer surface is preserved the somewhat 

 foliated or echinated rugosities of these ribs are very 

 obvious. 



This is a Coralliophila, and is related to the P. galea 

 (Chemh.) of D'Orbigny of which the name ought probably 

 to be P. plicata. the appellation galea being the rightful 

 property of a closely allied Eastindian shell. Another 

 form with which the Jamaican fossil ma)^ be compared is 

 P. squamulosa Reeve. 



Fasciolaria textilis n. sp. PI. I, f. 2.f 

 Elongate, fusiform, closely cancellated by numerous 

 spiral ridges from 1 to 2 mm. distant between which are 

 (especially anteriorly) one, two or three finer threadlike 

 ribs ; and by numerous closer and smaller longitudinal 

 lines. Whorls 6, the first two of which are smooth, the
