A very easily recognized species, quite unlike any other. The 

 young (pi. (H, fig. 19) are regular in form, like a globose Sin-cinea, 

 and are irregularly bestrewn with small reddi.-h-brown spots and 

 stn-aks, with some yellow streaks. 



The foot is comparatively large, and when active, in humid places, 

 the soft parts are probably not completely retractile into the shell. 

 When immersed in (.reserving fluids thev retract completely, prob- 

 ably by parting with some of the water which inflated them ; and 

 in dry weather the living animal sometimes retracts entirely within 

 its >liell. 



The snail is most frequently f>nnd on banana leaves, especially 

 those near the ground. It occurs also in the damp cavities of hollow 

 tree.-, and under the leaves of Dieffenbachia si'i/in'iit'. They are im- 

 mobile during the warm hours of the day, and \\anderabrnad toward 

 e\ ruing, seeking loud along the water's edge, eating the leaves of 

 Li'/mli'inn rii-i/iniriii/i L., and Sftiti/iis /<in<;n/,,tn I >. C. They eat 

 lettm-e freely in captivity. 



The type h.calitv i- <iiiadelupe; but upon the main island the spe- 

 cie- i- uo\\ extinct, according to .Ma/c. It surviv e- ..n Marie-< lalante, 

 and ihe >pecimens from I'.eau which I have figured (pi. I'.l. figs. 14, 

 1.'. , are doubtless from the latter island. I can delect no difference
