Common on the slopes of the hills. 



In addition to the localities heretofore credited with this species, Mr. 

 Mc Daniel has collected it in eastern Texas, in both Bell and Smith 

 counties. 



Writing of this form Mr. McDauiel says: "I found large numbers of 

 this species in Bell County, Tex. The exact locality was on limestone 

 bluff's ou either side of Salado Creek. On one morning, just after a 

 moderate rain, the whole face of the cliffs was sprinkled with them. 

 On top of the bluffs they were found walking on twigs in the low brush 

 and brambles and on trees 8 feet from the ground. Associated with 

 them were found Helix alternata Say, and an occasional Bulimulun 

 Schiedeanns var. Mooreana Pfr. This species also occurs in Florida. I 

 found a solitary living example under a cedar log between Tampa and 

 Kocky Point when collecting in this region in 1869. 



The following marine species were collected by Mr. Bailey on the 

 shores of St. Louis Bay (Mississippi), Gulf of Mexico. 



Class PELECYPODA. 



Family CHAMID^E. 

 » Geuus CHAMA Bruguiere. 



Chama arcinella Liunc, 



Valves only. 



A widely distributed form, ranging geographically from Hatteras in 

 the north, on and around the shores of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico 

 to the Antillean region as far south as the island of Guadaloupe, West 

 Indies. When perfect this is a peculiarly interesting and striking 

 species. 



Family VFNKRID^E. 



Gpniis DOSINIA Scopoli. 



Dosinia disciis l\ceve. 



One example, fresh. 



This species is quite common at many places on the eastern and gulf 

 shores of Florida and at many other places in the Gulf of Mexico. Its 

 northern limit is given as Virginia, byDall,* and its southerly range as 

 ^'era Cruz. 



1 have found it abundant on the outer beach of Amelia Island near 

 Fernandina, Florida, associated with TelUna alternata Say.
