conical spire, and the peculiar fine sculpture of the two upper whorls 

 distinguish this form from other species of the genus. 



13. BuLijius oBLoxGus (Miiller). 



JDulimus ohlongus. — Reeve, Conch. Icon., fig. 210. 



Mab. — "Open places and second growth below 1,000 feet, under 

 vegetable debris ; pretty common ; rarely found in dry forest." 

 (H. H. S.) 



In a note accompanying the specimens, Mr. H. H. Smith observes : 

 " In my opinion B. ohlongus is not indigenous in St. Vincent. The 

 Indians ate this and other largo Bulimi, and may readily have 

 introduced this species from the mainland, where it is common, and 

 where they often went in their forays." The examples collected 

 belong to the typical fonn, but arc a little smaller and somewhat 

 thinner than the shell figured by Reeve.

Mah. — "In immense numbers in the forests of St. Vincent" 

 (Guilding); "all parts of the island, but not abundant on leaves of 

 trees in forest at 500-2,000 feet elevation ; in dry weather it 

 conceals itself at the roots under leaves " (H. H. Smith). 



This well-known species is also said to occur at Cayenne. (Pfr.,

 Hah.—^i. Vincent (Rawson Coll.). 



This species is included in the St. Vincent fauna on the authority 

 of specimens in the collection of Sir Rawson Rawson, which he 

 received from the late Thomas Bland, and consequently it seems 

 probable, although there is some doubt, that this species really occurs 

 in the island. It is exceedingly variable, and several forms of it have
