OF CONCHOLOGY. 189 



11. Stenogyra plicatella, Guppy. 



Guppy refers to his description in the Trinidad list, adding 

 that the Grenada specimens are intermediate between the Trini- 

 dad vars. a and y. He adds that they were probably included 

 in my Catalogue as St. subula, Pfr. Gill collected in Grenada 

 shells which I considered to be S. subula and octonoides. 



12. Stenogyra caraccasensis, Reeve. 

 Grenada. — Gillf Guppy. 



13. Leptinaria Funcki, Pfeiffer. 



Grenada. — Newcomb, Guppy. 



Guppy (Ann. and Mag. 1. c.) remarks : " The Grenada shell 

 to which the name Tornatellina Funcki is applied in Bland's list 

 (1861) is identical with the form from Trinidad, which has re- 

 cently been described by Dr. Pfeiffer as T. Blandiana, and which 

 I refer to the P. lamellata of Pot. and Mich." 



I sent the specimens received from Newcomb to Shuttleworth, 

 who considered it to be L. Funcki, and remarked that it is less 

 acuminated and the striae stronger than in L. Antillarum. 



14. Succinea approximans, Shuttleworth. 



This is the same species as is enumerated by Guppy under 

 this name in his Trinidad list. I have specimens collected by 

 Gill. 



DOMINICA. 



Guppy (Ann. and Mag., June, 1868) gives the following in- 

 teresting introductory remarks to the list of terrestrial mollusks 

 collected by him in this island : 



" Dominica is, I believe, the only island in the Antilles of 

 which no list of terrestrial mollusca has yet been published. In 

 Mr. Bland's Catalogue, in the ' Annals of the New York Lyceum,' 

 still the most complete list we possess of the land shells of the 

 West Indies, it is stated that no species from Dominica were 

 known to the author. To remedy this defect, I took advantage 

 of a vacation to visit and explore that island, which I found to 

 consist chiefly of mountains composed of volcanic rocks, and 

 ranging from 2000 to 50U0 feet high. This is perhaps the high- 

 est land in the chain of the West Indian Islands between Jamaica 

 and South America. 



" There is but little which may be properly called lowlands in 

 Dominica ; but on the lower slopes near the sea I found a few 

 mollusca, chiefly B. exilis, St. octona, Succ. approximans, and
