above named species were placed by Pfeiffer ("Vers, p. 113, 

 119, 1855), and H. zonites, Pfr., of Mexico, by Gray (Pulm., p. 

 140, 1855.) In 1865 I described (Ann. Lye, VIIL, 157) Sten- 

 opus Ouildingi, from Porto Cabello, Venezuela, and, from in- 

 formation given by Dr. Berendt, there is some reason to be- 

 lieve that at least one species inhabits Mexico. The occur- 

 rence of Stenopus in the Guadeloupe subprovince alone, affords 

 additional evidence of the close alliance of the faunas of that 

 subprovince and of South America. 



Liguus and Macroceramus, mentioned as "West Indian forms, 

 are not represented in this subprovince, and Atrophia only by 

 Strop)hia ziva, L., in Curagao.* 



Stenogyra has no peculiar species ; Opeas Caraccasensis, Rv., 

 occurs in several of the Islands, and also inhabits Soutb 

 America. Pineria Schrammi, to which I have already re- 

 ferred, is found in Guadeloupe, and P. Vieiuensis, Pfr., in Bar- 

 badoes, as well as in Vieque of the Porto Rico subprovince. 



There is a diminished number of representatives of Mexi- 

 can and Central American, as well as West Indian forms in 

 the subprovince under consideration. Glandina has only 

 Varicella (r^/ac/efo^^^^ews/s, Pfr., (Guadeloupe), and V. semitarum, 

 Rang. (Martinique.) 



•Spiraxis is wanting and Cylindrella has 3 species, the sub- 

 genus Mychostoma being represented by G. costata, Guild., in 

 Barbados, Gongylostoma by C. collaris, Per., in Guadeloupe 

 and Martinique, and T'rachelia? by C. Trinitaria, Pfr., in Trin- 

 idad. 



Proserpina, as before mentioned, is confined to the Cuba 

 and Jamaica subprovinces. 



The Guadeloupe subprovince is peculiarly rich in South 

 American forms. Bulimus, which belongs to the Southern 

 Continent, has of the subgenus Pelecychilus, B. auris Sileni, 

 Born., in St. Vincent, B. auris-sciuri, Guppy, in Trinidad, and 

 an allied, possibly the same species, (both enumerated in my 

 Catalogue, Ann. Lye, VII., as B. glaber, Gmel.) in Grenada ; 

 of Bonis, B. ohlongus, Miill., in St. Vincent, Tobago, Trinidad, 

 and Barbados, introduced in the latter, from St. Vincent, by 

 the late Rev. J. Parkinson ; of Eurytus, B. aulacostyhis, Pfr., 

 in St. Lucia. B. auris Sileni and ohlongus also inhabit French 

 Guiana. 



Several subgenera of Bulimulus are represented, viz.: Dry- 

 maeus, Liostracus, Mesemhrimis, Thaumastus and Leptomerus. 



* In my former paper (p. 143) I noticed H. pentodon, Menke, of Cura- 

 cao, overlooking the remarks of v. Martens ("Malak. Blatt., 1859, p. 209), 

 who, with much apparent reason, refers to it as a young example of S. 

 um. Strophia Antonii, Kust., of Berbice, is the only known South Amer- 

 ican species.
