BENDALL : LAND MOLLtTSCA OF THE BAHAMAS. 293 



5. Helix (Plagiopttcha) Duclosiana, Fer. — Common, but always 

 hidden under stones or dead palmetto leaves. Through the kindness of 

 Mr. F. Stearns, I have seen two specimens of a shell recorded by him 

 from the island and named by Mr. Pilsbry R. Stearnsianella} This 

 author, however, makes no mention of it in his manual, nor has it 

 been described elsewhere. I am quite unable to separate it from the 

 typical H. Buclosiana. 



6. Helix (PoLYorEA) cereolus, 'W\iMS..=sei)temvolva^ Say, etc. (For 

 full synonomy see Tryon's Manual, series II, vol. iii, p. 129.) — 

 Common in damp places : sometimes under one stone two or three of 

 the varieties which have been dignified by names could be found. 



7. Helix (Microphysa) voetex, Pfr. — Common : widely distributed 

 in the Antilles. 



8. Okthalictxs zebra, Brug. — Lives high up in large trees, and 

 descends the trunks after rain. 



9. Macroceramus Gossei, Pfr. — Common under stones in dry 

 situations. 



10. BuLiMULUs (Leptomertjs) sepijlcralis, Poey. — Very common on 

 damp ground. 



11. BuLiMtTLTJS (DRTMiEus) Bahamensis, Pfr. — I fouud only six 

 specimens, descending trunks of cocoa-nut palms. 



12. Cylindrella (GonctYlostoma) Bahamensis, Pfr. — Very common 

 in dry places. The favourite situation is between two large stones 

 where there are some dead leaves : in this case 20 or 30 specimens 

 may be taken together. 



13. Pupa (Leuchochila) pellucida, Pfr. — Under stones on the tops 

 of walls. 



14. Cerion glans, Kiister. — In the Monograph of Cerion by 

 C. J. Maynard, now in course of publication, the author states that 

 the shell described by Kiister under the above name is not the well- 

 known and very common species of New Providence, but a comparatively 

 rare shell from the Island of Andros. The author has already described 

 eight species from New Providence, several of which have doubtless 

 figured in collections under the name S. glans^ Kiist. I am only in a 

 position to identify the two following : — 



15. Cerion agrestinum, Mayn. — This species has been hitherto known 

 as Strophia manmrata, Pfr. • Mr. Maynard has probably separated the 

 Bahama form from the Cuban, on account of the considerable difference 

 in size, the latter being much larger and somewhat stouter. Common 

 under palmetto leaves in a swamp near the south coast : albino variety 

 frequent. 



16. Cerion cinereum, Mayn. — I found this species close to Nassau, 

 on a common on the east side of the town. The only locality given by 

 Mr. Maynard is Hog Island (Nassau Harbour), but as I was able to 

 compare my shells with specimens received from the author, I am 

 satisfied as to the identity. 



17. Cerion zebra, Weinland. — Common by Queen's Staircase and 

 round Fort Fincastle, at the back of the town.
