NOTES. 



1. Antigua. — The species which have come under my notice from this island, 

 and St. Christopher, were collected by the llev. A. Hamilton. 



2. Bahamas. — Tiie New Providence shells were collected by Mr. Wm. Cooper, 

 and Mr. T. Smitten, — those from Turk's Island by Mr. Theo. Gill and others. 



5. Barbados. — For these sliells I am indebted to the late Rev. J. Parkinson, Mr. 

 Gill, «fee. B. oblongus Miill. was introduced by Mr. Parkinson from St. Vincent. 



4. Bernnida. — Collections were made by the late Prof. C. B. Adams, also by 

 Mr. R. Swift, Mr. Temple Prime, myself, and others. As to //. microdonta Bh. 

 extensively distributed as H. delltescens Sh. see my remarks, Annals vii. p. 140. 



6. Cnha. — I have been liberally supplied with Cuban species, especially by 

 Prof. P«ey, Dr. Gundlach, Mr. Shuttleworth, Bishop Elliott, Ac. Some errors 

 may be detected in the Catalogue arising from differences of opinion and also of 

 classification, of Poey and Pfeiffer. I should quote the following from Poe}", 

 Mem. ii. p. 406 — "Helices rostrnta P., marginelloides 0., Paxcnsis Py., transi- 

 toria P., Arangiana, Pg., Gutierrezi Py., marginatoides 0., mina P., varietates 

 sunt H. Sagemonis; quod in itinere CI. J. Gundlach demonstratum est. Transi- 

 tiones exstant ; animal in omnibus idem est." As to H. Carpenteriana Bland, see 

 Annah vii. p. 138. 



The occurrence in species belonging to C^'clostomaeea, of a perforation at the 

 upper margin of the aperture, is peculiar, I believe, to those inhabiting Cuba and 

 the Bahamas. See Poey, Mem. ii. p. 40. 



6. Grenada and Grenadines. — Dr. W. Newcomb collected in Grenada, and I 

 have received shells from him, Rev. J. Parkinson, and Mr. R. Swift. 



7. Guadeloupe. — I have had comparatively few authentic specimens from the 

 French islands. Beau in his Catalogue (1858) excludes several species generally 

 attributed to this island. 



8. Haiti. — I am principally indebted for Haitian shells to M. Salle, Mr. Cuming, 

 and Mr. Swift. The discovery of Vitrina was made by Mr. Hjalmarson, in 1858.
