Catalogue of Marine Mollusks collected 



designated by the term u Bahama Islands." But there are , in 

 fact, three groups ; viz., the Turk Islands, the Caicos Islands, 

 and the Bahama Islands. Precise information as to the locali- 

 ties in which marine species of mollusks are found in these 

 three groups of islands would, we think, add considerably to 

 our knowledge of the geographical distribution of the species, as 

 it certainly will be confirmed that many West-Indian species 

 (tropical forms) have their northern limit within these islands. 

 We therefore publish the following list of the 245 species 

 which we collected in November, 1866.

* The use of the term "Bahama" indicates that the species were obtained 

 from the Bahama Islands, but without positive evidence as to the particular Island 

 at which they were collected.
