118 THE NAUTILUS. 



p. 168. This slug is said to be 9" long, bright red (hochroth) in 

 front, with blackish stripes behind the head, tentacles red-granular, 

 mouth, white. Is it not surely the common red Arion of Central 

 Europe, now known as A. rtifus (or empiricomrn), var. lamnrckii, 

 Kal., 1851 ? If so, Gistel's name coccineus has priority for the 

 variety, and must be adopted. 



This work of Gistel's has in it several other new names for 

 mollusca. On p. 173, Eugira is proposed for Iridina, Lam. This 

 appears to be needless, but some may hold that it interferes with the 

 later Eugyra^ Aid., 1870. The following are supposed new species : 

 Helix platychela from Sicily, p. 167 ; H. erycina from Sicily, p. 167 ; 

 H. jenisoniana from Montenegro, p. 1G7 ; Clausilia grossa from 

 Croatia, p. 167 ; Bulimus meridionalis, p. 167 ; B. pellucidus from 

 S. Russia, p. 167 ; Linnteus flavescens from Spain, p. 168. The H. 

 platychela and erycina are probably the Sicilian forms already in the 

 literature, otherwise credited. Clavsilia grossa may be the species 

 of Ziejiler. The other names seemed to have been overlooked T.

POI.YGYKA AURICULATA IN WESTERN FLORIDA Mr. L. E. 



Daniels, of La Porte, Indiana, has recently sent me typical speci- 

 mens of P. auriculata collected by him in a hammock one mile south 

 of Tampa, Florida, thus supplying an authentic gulf coast locality for 

 the species. Since they were received, I thought to look in Mr. C. 

 T. Simpson's " Contributions to the Mollusca of Florida," Proc. 

 Davenpiirt Acad. Nat. Sci., V., 1889, p. 65, where he reports P. 

 auriculata as common in Manatee county. There is a possibility 

 that some locality records for auriculata may have been based on 

 specimens of P. uvulifera bicornuta. H. A. P.
