  the 
  base, 
  one 
  submedian, 
  rather 
  behind 
  than 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  

   middle, 
  the 
  third 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  

   destitute 
  of 
  carinas, 
  the 
  apices 
  rounded. 
  Antenna? 
  brownish, 
  

   with 
  the 
  joints 
  somewhat 
  greyish 
  at 
  their 
  bases, 
  sparsely 
  

   ciliate 
  below, 
  with 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  fourth 
  joints 
  subequal, 
  each 
  

   scarcely 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  third 
  joint. 
  

  

  This 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  there 
  is 
  but 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  in 
  

   the 
  collection, 
  differs 
  from 
  all 
  other 
  recognized 
  species 
  of 
  

   Amphionycha 
  by 
  the 
  rounded 
  sides 
  of 
  its 
  elytra, 
  which 
  are 
  

   devoid 
  of 
  carinas. 
  This 
  character 
  is 
  met 
  with 
  in 
  the 
  allied 
  

   West-Indian 
  genus 
  Calocosmus, 
  but 
  the 
  remaining 
  characters 
  

   seem 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  unite 
  the 
  present 
  species 
  more 
  closely 
  with 
  

   Amphionycha 
  than 
  with 
  the 
  latter 
  genus.

  Rather 
  robust 
  for 
  the 
  genus. 
  Head, 
  prothorax, 
  elytra, 
  and 
  

   body 
  underneath 
  with 
  a 
  unicolorous 
  dense 
  yellowish-grey 
  

   pubescence; 
  the 
  legs 
  and 
  antennae 
  with 
  a 
  darker 
  grey 
  pubes- 
  

   cence, 
  with 
  the 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  from 
  the 
  third 
  somewhat 
  

   fuscous 
  towards 
  their 
  apices. 
  Head 
  with 
  a 
  median 
  impressed 
  

   naked 
  line, 
  which 
  is 
  more 
  conspicuous 
  towards 
  the 
  vertex. 
  

   Antennas 
  sparsely 
  pilose. 
  Elytra 
  with 
  their 
  apices 
  acute, 
  

   each 
  terminated 
  by 
  a 
  rather 
  strong 
  and 
  sharp 
  spine.

  The 
  collection 
  which 
  has 
  recently 
  arrived 
  contains 
  a 
  few 
  

   species 
  of 
  terrestrial 
  Mollusca 
  from 
  Dominica 
  and 
  St. 
  Lucia. 
  

  

  Those 
  from 
  Dominica 
  are: 
  — 
  1. 
  Helix 
  badia, 
  2. 
  Bulimus 
  

   midtifasciatuSj 
  3. 
  Amphibxdima 
  ijatula, 
  4. 
  Helicina 
  rhodo- 
  

   stoma, 
  5. 
  H.jusciata 
  } 
  6. 
  H. 
  platychila. 
  

  

  As 
  references 
  to 
  these 
  species 
  and 
  their 
  distribution 
  have 
  

   already 
  been 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  Reports, 
  it 
  is 
  unnecessary
