H. A. Pllsbry— Air-breathing MoUusks of the Bermudas. 507 



Many of the names of this list were evidently erroneous identifi- 

 cations ; and the nevf species were never described under these 

 names, with the exception of Succinea bermudeiisis. It is of value 

 as showinsf that the fauna contained at least thirteen terrestrial 

 species in 1852, only one of which. Bid. veatrosus, is known to be 

 introduced. I have given in parenthesis the equivalents in modern 

 nomenclature of such of the species as can be recognized. Helix 

 sancta-georgiensis and H. somersetti may have been applied to PceoAl- 

 ozonites reinianus and Thysanophora hypolepta or Z. minuscidus. 

 Bidimus bermndensis and B. saiidysii were perhaps based upon 

 species of Opeas or Papoides tnarginatus, though it is likely that an 

 American observer would have recognized in the latter a common 

 United States species. 



I860. — Bermuda: Its history, geology, climate, products, agriculture, commerce and 

 government. By Theodore L. Godet, M.D. London; Smith, Elder & Co. 

 Chapter XIV, " Shells " includes Crustacea and Mollusca. Under the 

 head Pulmonea (p. 224-227) are enumerated Limax cinereus, Testacella 

 haliotidea, Yitrina pellucida, Helix concava and hortensis, Pupa chrysalis, 

 Clausilia papillaris, Buliinus lubricus, Achatina columaria, Succinea bermu- 

 diensis, LimncBa auricularia, Physa fontinalis. Auricula midce and Ancylus 

 rivularis. With the exception of Succinea bermudiensis, which is proposed 

 as a new species, there is no reason to believe that any of these identifica- 

 tions were based upon Bermudian specimens. The list might have been 

 compiled in Bedlam, and is introduced here merely as a curiosity, and 

 for the sake of bibliographic completeness.

 Proc. Zool. Soc, Lond., 1861, pp. 403-405. 



This collection was made by Col. Freeman Murray, one time 

 Governor of the Bermudas. 



The greater number of species listed are marine forms, but the 

 following pulmonates are given : 



Helix bermudensis. Succinea ? 



" circumfiimata, Helicina variabilis Ad, 



" microdonta Dh. Melampus cofiEea. 



" paludosa Say. " fasciatus Chemn. 



Bulimus ventricosus Dr. " oblongus Pfr.

 the West India Islands ; with a Catalogue of the species of each islaud, in 

 Ann. of the Lye. of Nat. Hist of N. Y., vii, p. .S51. By Thomas Bland. 



This is the first list of Bermudian shells by an experienced coiicholo- 

 gist. It was based upon specimens collected by C. B, Adams, Robert 

 Swift, Temple Prime, T. Bland and others.
