Tbis species does not seem to be comuion. TLe finest I have seen are 

 from Bermuda. The variety shows more brown inside, but otherwise 

 agrees with the type. Biuney's ligure is extremely bad. 



Siplionaiia lineolata D'Orbiguy. 



Sq)honaria lineolata D'Orbigii}', Moll. Cuba, i, p. 232, pi. xvii, ligs. 13-15, 1842. 



Siplwnaria hrasiliana Reeve, Mon. Sipli.. pi. iv, iig. 17, Mar., 1856. 



Siphonaria vaufrafiinn Steams, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., xv, p. 23, Jan., 



1872. 

 rafi'lla Ieucoi)lcura Avango {expurici), Moll. Cubana, p. 230, 1880. 



Habitat. — Amelia Island, East Florida, Stearns; Cuba, D'Orbigny; 

 Eio, Eeeve ; Saint Augustine, Fla., Hemphill. It is unfortunately too 

 certain that this fine species first described from Xortli America by my 

 friend Dr. Stearns is idenilcal with that described and figured from 

 Cuba by D'Orbigny. Specimens marked Braziliana Eeeve, by Mr. 

 Cuming, in the I^atioual IMuseum collection, do not appear to differ spe- 

 cifically, and another form from the Cape Yerde Islands also runs very 

 close to this one. Why Arango should have referred this species to 

 Patella lencopleiira \^ not clear; probably he had not examined authen- 

 tic specimens. 



Siphonaria picta D'Orbiguy. 



S. incia D'Orbiguy, Voy. dans I'Ani. Mdridionale, Moll., 1839; Moll. Cuba, 1, p. 

 231, 1842. 



This species, rei)orted from Eio and from Cuba by D'Orbigny, has 

 not yet been reported from Florida, but will doubtless eventually be- 

 found on the southern Keys. 



Siphonaria ferruginea Reeve. 



Siphovaria ferrug'mea Reeve, Mon. Siphon., pi. v, fig. 26, 1856. 

 Xo habitat was given by Eeeve for this species, but a specimen 

 which seems to belong to it was received from Strebel by the U. S. Na- 

 tional Museum, in 18GG, as collected at Vera Cruz, Mexico. It doubt- 

 less will be found to occur elsewhere on the American coast. 



Family Gadiniid^. 



Gadinia carinata Dall. 



Gadinia carinata Dall, Ani. Jonrn. Conch., vi, p. 18, pi. iv, figs. 12, 13, 1870. 

 Habitat — Aspinwall, Dr. Palmer; Barbados, U. S. E"at. Mus.; Cuba, 

 Casey. 



We may reasonably expect to find this rare and only Antillean spe- 

 cies of the genus on the Florida Keys. At all events it should be care- 

 fully looked for. 



Family Oncidiid..^. 



Onchidium floridanum n. s. 



To Mr. Hemphill is due the credit of adding this genus to the fauna 

 of eastern iforth America. The specimens arrived as this paper Is
