Previously known from Anguilla and Trinidad. 
Purpura miocenica n, sp. PI I, f, 9. 
Subpyriform, rather ventricose above, rim ate, nar,. 
rowed and produced anteriorly, adorned with longitudi- 
nal ribs (about 10 to the whorl) which are crossed by coarse 
rugose high narrow spinal 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 
22, breadth about 15 mm. 
The outer layer 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 
(Chemn.) 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 may be compared is 
P. sguamulosa Peeve. 
Fasciolaria textilis n. sp. PI. I. f. 5. 
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
