Simpson — New Subspecies of Liguus. 125 



The type measures: Length, 40 mm.; diameter, 22 mm. 



The type was collected on a small island near Whitewater Bay. This 

 beautiful form inhabits exclusively this small island hammock in the Lower 

 Everglades a few miles east of Whitewater Bay. It rarely occurs in 

 hammocks as far north as Arch Creek. One specimen obtained in a small 

 hammock on Long Key in the Everglades is a giant, measuring 60 mm. 

 in length and 32 mm. in diameter. I collected Liguus at Cabanas Bay 

 in Cuba which are almost absolutely identical with this. It is figured 

 in "Lower Florida Wilds," frontispiece, fig. 5. The type is in the author's 

 collection. Paratype Cat. No. 339097, U. S. N. M. (1 specimen). 



Liguus fasciatus lineolatus, n. subsp. 



Shell subsolid, with somewhat rounded whorls, with rich pink apex and 

 columellar area; general surface of the shell pale pinkish or flesh color, 

 often tinted with pale ochraceous towards the aperture. There are gen- 

 erally a few faint greenish or brownish spiral lines on the last whorl and 

 in many specimens there is a deep buff or pinkish peripheral line. 



The type measures: Length, 65 mm.; diameter, 32 mm. 



Another specimen from Pumpkin Key measures: Length, 45 mm.; 

 diameter, 22 mm. 



The type was collected on Totten's Key; other specimens came from 

 Cape Romano region; Chokoloskee; East Cape Sable; South shore of the 

 mainland; Miami Hammock; Upper Keys. It is figured in "Lower 

 Florida Wilds," frontispiece, fig. 2. 



Dr. Pilsbry figured two forms in his paper in the Journal of the Academy 

 of Sciences of Philadelphia under the name roseatus but designates the 

 first three figures on Plate XXXVIII as the types. These all have a broad 

 spiral band on the upper part of the body whorl and differ considerably, 

 especially figure 11B, from the figure 18 which I refer to lineolatus. Both 

 forms are widely distributed and are somewhat variable but each occurs 

 in several localities where the other is not found. The broad yellow 

 banded form occupies exclusively an Everglade Island hammock not very 

 far from Whitewater Bay while the lineolatus is very abundant on Pumpkin 

 Key and is the only form found on the island. The type is in the author's 

 collection. The Museum specimens came from Chokoloskee Cat. No. 

 339105, U. S. N. M., and were presented by the author. 



Liguus fasciatus versicolor, n. subsp. 



Shell rather small, somewhat solid, brilliantly polished, with slightly 

 rounded whorls. The ground color may be bluish green with yellow zigzags 

 and longitudinal markings, or yellow with brown markings of various 

 designs along the suture and at the periphery. In all the shells there is a 

 light peripheral line and it is often bordered with burnt brown. Apex 

 deep pink; columellar area pink to whitish. 



The type measures: Length, 40 mm.; diameter, 22 mm. 



The type was collected at Big Hammock, Long Key in the Everglades; 

 it also occurs sparingly north to Miami. It is figured in "Lower Florida
