Genus ACHATINA Lamarck. 



ACHATINA FASCIATA Muller vol. ii. p. 266, pi. Iv. Ivi. Ivii. 



Acliatinn soUda Say, (Biiine}''s ed.) p. 29. 



DeKay, N. Y. Moll. 56. 



Pfkiffek, Mon. Hel. Viv. ii. 246. 

 Achat ina fasciaia (, Pfeiffer, 1. c. iii. 479. 

 Agatina variegata Rafinesque, vid. vol. i. 50. 

 BuUmus fasciatus Bikney, 1. c. 



Say's original specimen of Achatina solida is still pre- 

 served in the Philadelphia Academy. 



This is not vexillum DeKay, which see. 



The lower figure of pi. fj6, is Achatina picta, considered 

 distinct by Reeve and Pfeiffer, (vid. Mon. iii. 490.) Other 

 West Indian varieties than those figured are from time to 

 time received from Florida. 



ACHATINA LUBRICA Muller vol. ii. p. 283, pi. Iii. fig. 4. 



BuUmus lubricus Say', (Biiiney's ed.) p. 31. 



DeIvay, N. Y. Moll. p. 55. pi. iii. fig. 43. 

 BuUmus lubricokks Stijipson, Shells of N. K. p. 54, (absq. descr.) 



Stimpson, as will be seen by the synonymy, considers 

 this distinct from the Em'opean shell. 



Spurious Species. 



Achatina virginea is quoted from Florida by Jay, (Cat. 1835). It 

 is also given by DeKay under the name of BuUmus vexillum, 

 (N. Y. Moll. 56, pi. iv. fig. 56). 



A. hullata Pf. is the same as Glandina bullata. 



A. jlammigera, Fer. pi. 118, f. 5-7, quoted by DeKay, p. 56, as 

 inhabiting Florida, is not a native of the United States, and 

 could not have come from there. He probably gives the species 

 on the authority of Say, who mentions (Binn. ed. 29) finding 

 it there. 



A. jlammigera Say is the same as Bulimus zebra. 



A. gracillima Pf. is the same as Bulimus gracillmus. 



A. pellucida Pf oliin, Binn. is the same as Blauneria pellucida.
