Charlotte and other parts of this island, and when withdrawn into 



tin- -hell re.-emhles t lie pale green side of a reversed leaf, ;ui appear- 

 ance which renders it dillieiilt to be found, and doubtless protects it 

 from the bird-." II. II. Smith found it "common locally, princi- 

 pally on the leeward side, in rather damp forest hillsides below l,."i()() 

 feet. In damp weather it is found on leaves or tree-trunks; conceals 

 itself at roots of trees in dry weather." 



Specimens before me from Mustique do not differ appreciably 

 from tlm.-e of St. Vincent. Examples of the shells referred to 

 straniiiifiix by Weinland and Crosse, from the Haitian localities men- 

 tioned by the latter are before me, and while very similar to the true 

 Stramineus, I prefer to consider them a variety or species allied to 

 D. Illiaceiis. 



Several specimens were collected by Dr. Benj. Sharp on the wind- 

 ward side of Dominica a few years ago, which are so similar to 

 D. Stramineus that I dare not call them anything else, though the 

 island is rather separated from the well established range of the 

 species.

Like the type, but banded with purplish black or purplish red. 

 There are usually four bands on the body-whorl one at the middle, 

 one-half way between it and the suture, the third equally distant lie- 

 low the middle, and the fourth around the umbilicus (Stitit/i). 



Leeward side of St. Vincent, in dry forest below 1,000 feet, on 

 leaves in wet weather, or at roots of trees and in crevices of rocks in 

 dry weather. The animal i- i:r< -en like the allied (typical) form, 

 and this is probably a variety, hut it is found in much dryer situa- 

 tions, principally on the ridges between Cumberland and L.irgon. 

 Rarely the two forms are a-.-ociated ; nowhere common (//. //.
