THE NAUTILUS. 71 



Modulus modulus L., a few poor specimens noticed. 



Littorina nebulosa Lam., var. columellaris Orbigny. A few were 

 found on logs along the beach, but it is common on the jetties. Dr. 

 Ball referred it to L. flaya. Pilsbry says " L. flava is very thick 

 inside the lip, exactly like irrorata.. It resembles nebulosa in color, 

 but is evidently a distinct species close to irrorata. I have never 

 seen L.flava from north or west of Trinidad." 



Littorina ziczac Dillwyn., very numerous on the jetties. 



Cassis inflata Shaw, two young and dead. 



Nerita prfecognita C. B. Adams, three on the rocks of the jetty. 



Neritina lineolata Lam. Plentiful in low places along the river 

 and young ones were found on the gulf side of the jetties. 



Neritina virginea L., a few were found with lineolata on one jetty.
