It is larger than any form of the species Ihave seen, measuring about 3o|- x 8^ mm. In face of the above meagre notes I was pleased to come acrossshells labelled Cylindrella lata var. producta C. B. Ad., Jamaica,in an old collection of Jamaican land moUusca now deposited in theManchester Museum. This collection was made by John Jay and. Fig. I. Fig. II. many of the specimens probably came from Professor Adams himself,although I do not think there is any documentary evidence of would, therefore, appear that these shells are worth figuring, asunfortunately, in common with many of Adams species, the descriptionis so inadequate that identification without figures is very difficult, ifnot impossible. In the shells under notice the colour and sculpture are as in thetypical form. The internal pillar of the specimen examined is alsoidentical, being stout within the last four whorls, with a weak spiraltendency, above which the column rapidly becomes very slender witha slight twist—resembling fig. 51 on Plate 30 of Tryons Manual, vol. XV. Figures I. and II. measure 25 x 7-25 mm. and 265 x 8 13OBITUARY NOTICE. THE REV. ROBERT ASHINGTON BULLEN, , By the rev. canon T- W. HORSLEY, (Read before the Society, Sept. nth, 1912).
