Habitat, Florida. (Pfr.) 



The above is the original description of this species, 

 (Proc. Zool. Soc. July, I806, p. 330). I have not seen 

 any specimen of it, but am able to add a figure drawn by 

 Sowerby from the type in the Cumingian collection. 



It appears nearest allied to B. miillUineatus.

In 1857 I received a large quantity of this species alive 

 from Prof. Holmes of Charleston, S. C. From him I 

 learn that the species is still but too common in that city. 

 I placed a large quantity of them in my garden in Bur- 

 lington, but they did not survive the succeeding winter. 



Reeve gives no habitat, and no authority for the specific 

 name. 



It has also been introduced into Cuba, (Poey, Pfeifter). 



The animal is carnivorous.
