The specimens found in April were all young, much smoother and 

 more pellucid than the adult, and only about 25.0™™ long. I have never 

 seen adult specimens 4 inches long, such as Mr. Binney describes, from the 

 Everglades, and should be glad to have some for the collection. They 

 are very rapacious and will swallow a good sized Helix septemvolva with- 

 out difficulty; a large number have been found packed into the stomach 

 of one indivicftial. None have been found in the Indian mounds, and 

 perhaps they are not eatable. Those collected by me were always in 

 moist places and exuded a very coi)ious and adhesive mucus on being 

 disturbed.

This beautiful species appears to be quile rare. Its geographical dis-

 in Florida would be very useful.

This species varies greatly in form, proportions, and even to some ex-

 for more than a year and are still alive.

Found under the bark of a prostrate oak tree in the vicinity of a pool 

 at Archer, Alachua County, Florida, April, 1885, by W. H. Dall. About 

 a dozen specimens were collected with other small species in about an 

 hour. 



It should be observed that in the sandy region of North Florida there
