84 JSFotes on Ceriain Terrestrial Mollusks. 



Habitat. Near Port au Prince, Haiti. 



Remarks. This is allied in form and ornamentation to 

 M. tenuiplicatus , Pfr., but is much smaller, is costate, and 

 differs from it in form of aperture. I received specimens of 

 this and other interesting Haitian shells from Mrs. Wm. 

 Klatte after whom I name this species. 



Bulimulus stramineus, Guilding (Drymaeus). 



Several years ago I sent to Dr. Pfeiffer a specimen from 

 St. Vincent, which he described (Mon. VI, p. 44) under this 

 name as an authentic example of Guilding's species, of which 

 however it is probably a variety. I have since received from 

 Governor Rawson extremely fine specimens more closely 

 agreeing with Guilding's description. 



Pfeiffer (Mon. II, 203) gives the following description, 

 "T. subdiaphana, straminea, transverse densissime striatula ; 

 anfr. 6-7, apicalis ferrugiueus (G.). On referring, however, 

 to the Linn. Trans. XIV, p. 340, 1 find the description to be 

 "Testa tenera, tota straminea, transverse obscuro-dense stri- 

 ata ; anfr. sex." 



The most common form is of uniform bright yellow, some 

 specimens have a purple apex and others several narrow red- 

 dish-brown bands. One of my specimens measures : long. 

 34, lat. 14; ap. 16 mill, long., 10£ lata. B. stramineus oc- 

 curs also in the Island of Mustique one of the Grenadines. 



Bulimus stramineus, Richard. 



In the Swift Cabinet there are shells under this name, re- 

 ceived from M. Salle and said to be from St. Domingo. I 

 can find no mention of, or reference to, such a species in the 

 books. 



The largest specimen, which is scarcely adult, has 5£ whorls ; 

 the two upper whorls have a pale yellowish tinge, the apex 

 rather darker in color. It is very like and may be a variety 

 of B. Uliaceus, Fer. which occurs in Puerto Rico.
