Notes on certain Terrestrial Mollushs. 153 



he had an individual of this species from Mr. Cuming, who 

 gave as habitat, the Corean Archipelago. I found no trace 

 of it in Bermuda, nor did the late Professor C. B. Adams. 



Helix penicillata Gould. 



Dr. Gould admits, in correspondence with M. Poey and 

 myself, that his shell is a variety of H. Cubensis Pfr. I do 

 not know IT. penicillata Pfr., Mon. iii. No. 1287. 



Helix Sagraiana d'Orb. 



This hitherto rare species has recently been rediscovered 

 by Dr. Gundlach, with others equally interesting, in the moun- 

 tains between Guajaibon and Eangel, from twenty to thirty 

 leagues west of Havana. Pfeiffer describes (Mon. i.) a shell 

 under this name, attributing it to California, on the authority 

 of Sowerby — he probably refers to Orbigny's species, being 

 in error as to the habitat. Poey (Memorias i.) suppresses it 

 as a Cuban species, evidently misled by Pfeiffer. 



I would here acknowledge my great obligation to Dr. 

 Gundlach for specimens of this and other rare Cuban shells, 

 contributed by him to my cabinet, in the most handsome and 

 liberal manner. 



Helix similaris Fer. 



Among shells lately received through me from Barbadoes, 

 Mr. Shuttleworth detected this widely distributed species. 

 Pfeiffer gives Cuba as one of its localities, on the authority 

 of Rang, but it has not been discovered or communicated to 

 Poey, who excludes it in his Cuban catalogue. 



BULIMUS AULACOSTYLUS PFR. 



This species was described in the Annals of the Lyceum, 

 Vol. iv. p. 14 (May, 1854), as B. lentiginosus, by Mr. J. H. 

 Redfield. Pfeiffer 's description was read before the Zoologi- 

 cal Society of London, in March, 1852, but first published, I 

 believe, in the third volume of his Monographia, the intro- 

 duction to which bears date May, 1853. The delay in the
