white with sometimes a narrow, bronzy peripheral line; aperture 

 having a strong, white ledge within ; axial region white. 



Length of type, 43, diameter 27 mm. 



Big Pine Key; Ramrod Key, Frazer; Key West, Henderson col- 

 lection. 



In 1885 I found the type at Watson's hammock on Big Pine Key, 

 a very solid shell with the tip slightly truncated. A shell from Key 

 West was given me by the late Mr. John R. Henderson.

Shell thin to subsolid, polished, of medium size, with somewhat 

 rounded whorls; columella straight or slightly twisted and rather 

 thin; surface straw colored or grayish yellow with a pink apex and 

 several vertical or slightly zigzag stripes on the fourth whorl which 

 gradually pass into a double row of squarish brown spots farther 

 down the shell and continue along the suture and periphery of the 

 last whorl to the aperture. These spots may be opposite or alter- 

 nate or irregularly placed. In addition there are occasional axial 

 bluish smears as in graphiciis. 



Length, 41 ; diameter, 25 mm. 



Big Pine Key; Island of Cuba, probably. 



I have said elsewhere that I believe this form to be a native of 

 Cuba and that it has only recently arrived on our shores. I see no 

 difference in shells credited to this island and Big Pine. I have a 

 dead shell that I collected near the present railway station on the 

 latter and a fine specimen received from the late A. G. Wetherby 

 labeled '"''Achatina fmciata^ Cuba." In the shells I have seen the 

 columella is white, thin, and straight, but Pilsbry states in the 

 manual (vol. 12, ser. 2, p. 171) that it is more or less, or not, trun- 

 cated. It is an exceedingly rare form of which I have seen only 

 four specimens, and it is probably extinct in Florida.
