SIMPSON CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOIXUSCA OF FLORIDA. 67 



Bull 'in iti 'us dor ma ui W. G. B. Several hundred dead shells were 

 found in the heavy hammock north of the Manatee River, in the winter 

 of 1884. The following summer I found a number of the same species, 

 alive, at the above locality, crawling on the under side of the leaves of 

 the cabbage palms. The animal is a beautiful porcelain color. Occa- 

 sionally found in other localities in Manatee County. I have the same 

 shell from Volusia County, from Mr. Cunningham. 



Orthalicus undatus Brug. Key West. Dead shells of the typical 

 form were found near the city. 



Ortlialicits undatus, var. Cape Sable. The variety figured in Bin- 

 ney's Manual of American Land Shells, p. 440, was found abundantly 

 on trees at Cape Sable. Many of these were so firmly attached by 

 the epiphragm that it was impossible to remove them without cutting 

 the bark from under them. Several were broken in attempting to twist 

 them off. 



Ligutis fasciatus Mull. Goodland Point- abundant. At this local- 

 ity a water bucketfull of this species was collected from the trees in a 

 few hours, in one of the most terribly tangled tropical thickets I ever 

 saw. They seemed to appear in greatest numbers during cloudy and 

 misty weather. On one such morning I found the trees and shrubs 

 full of them, but the mosquitoes and sand-flies, which take advantage 

 of such weather, were so intolerable that I was compelled to retreat. 

 The variety found here was either pure white, or slightly marked with 

 greenish or brown lines on the body whorl. At Cape Sable some of 

 the shells were marked with a broad spiral band of brilliant orange, and 

 on one shell the band was bright green. At Rabbit Key the variety 

 was found, having a wide brown band, and at Pine Key a very large 

 form, greatly elongated, with flattened whorls, and beautifully marked 

 with brown, green, blue, and purple, on a yellow ground, one of the 

 loveliest land shells I have ever seen. All these forms had the colu- 

 mella and tip of the spire stained with pink. At Pine Key one living 

 shell was found, of a chalky-white throughout, and having a single very 

 narrow olive line on the body and next whorl, the columella being as 

 distinctly truncated as most of the African Achatinas. Li guns fasci- 

 atus is reported to me on good authority from as far north as Sanibel 

 Island, at the mouth of the Caloosahatchie. 



Stenogyra gracillima Pfr. Key West. Found abundantly, mostly 

 dead, near high tide mark. 



Stenogyra subula Pfr. Key West; about twen'y living examples. 



Macroceramus pontijicus Gld. Point Pinallis, on shell mound with 

 Helix jejuna ; Shaw's Point. 



Macroceramus gossei Yix. Key West; Evans' plantation. 

 Pupa fallax Say. Point Pinallis; Long Key; Anna Maria and 

 Passage Keys. 



Pupa rupicola Say. On shell mounds and in heavy hammocks; 

 abundant. 



Pupa armifera Say. Lo.v hammock south of the Manatee River.
