1885. J PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 263 



Archer, Alachua County, Florida, Dall ; Porto Cabello, Ycuezuehi, Su- 

 michrast [v a,r : Morsei]. 



The species was very abundant at Archer, under the bark of decay- 

 ing logs, the color was especially fine, the lip and hxniella deep rose 

 color, verging' on claret color in some specimens ; the costoe sharp, the 

 last whorl subcariuate with the ends of the costai pointedly produced 

 in many individuals. A comjiarison with a typical specimen of S. stre- 

 heli Pfr. establishes their identity. A form of this species has been sent 

 to the museum by Professor Sumichrast, from Porto Cabello, Venezuela, 

 which differs from the type in wanting the costie, the whorls being only 

 lightly transversely striate, rather flat aud appressed, with the basal per- 

 iphery i)articularly angular, and the umbilicus slightly smaller than iu 

 8. laltyrinthica. This may take the varietal name of 8. 2Iorsei in honor 

 of Prof. E. S. IMorse, who established the genus. It is slightly larger 

 than the Mexican specimens. In all other characters it agrees with 

 American specimens from the Eastern United States.

 Helix Vendryesimia Gloyne, Jourii. de Conchyl., vol. xis, p. 333, 1871. 



Habitat. — Indianola, Tex. ; Savannah, Ga. ; Jamaica, West Indies 

 (Gloyue) ,• Archer, Alachua County, Florida, Dall. Two dead speci- 

 imens were found under decaying bark in an " ook hamak," at Archer. 

 This is the lirst time it has been reported from Florida, but it will doubt- 

 less be found eventually over the entire southern region. 



Helix (Polygyra) auriculata Say. 



Polygyra auricidata Say (1818), Binn., 1. c, p. 264. 



Habitat. — Saint Augustine and the basin of the Saint John's River, 

 Binney ; Fort George Id., and the Keys, Jewett; Tampa, Stearns. Va- 

 riety micro/oris Dall, Johnson's Sink, Alachua County, Dall. 



This form is quite well marked and when fully adult shows as a rule 

 little variation from the form figured by the Binueys and generally 

 regarded as typical. A quite uniformly characterized variety was found, 

 however, by me at Johnson's Sink, Alachua County, where it was abun- 

 dant. Some twenty specimens were picked up in a few moments during 

 a hurried visit made with other ends in view,- and a quart could easily 

 have been gathered in half an hour. This form is distinguished by its 

 generally smaller size (max. diam. 12.0, min. diam. 10.0, alt. G.O ™'^'.) 

 as compared with the type (15.0, 12.0, and 7.9 ">'".) and by being more 

 closely rolled, thus having not only an actually smaller umbilicus, but 

 one in which one- third less of the preceding whorl is visible. The speci- 

 mens were uniform in this, and in all other respects were like the typi- 

 cal auriculata.
