520 TEST ACE A ATLANTICA. 



This Carychium seems to have been cited by Ferussac, 

 many years ago, as occurring near the Villa da Praia in S. 

 lago ; but as it was associated with one or two species of 

 doubtful origin, it was rejected by Dohrn as wanting in evi- 

 dence which is sufficiently trustworthy. Morelet, however, has 

 admitted it into his late enumeration of the Cape- Verde Land- 

 Shells, though, unfortunately, he does not state on what au- 

 thority ', or in which island it was found ; in fact he does not 

 make a single remark concerning it. Nevertheless as his paper 

 was written in order to report the comparatively recent findings 

 of MM. Bouvier and de Cessac, it is not impossible that it may 

 have been re-detected by those naturalists ; though if this was 

 really the case, we certainly ought to have been informed of the 

 fact, as well as of the precise spot in which the species has 

 occurred. But if its presence in Morelet's list rests on no other 

 foundation than the original article of Ferussac, which, as Dohrn 

 well observes, ' has completely fallen into oblivion,' I must 

 doubt the expediency, without further data, of reinstating it as 

 a veritable member of the Cape- Verde fauna. Still, it is far 

 from unlikely that Morelet, although he does not mention it, 

 may have had some additional evidence for assigning a place to 

 the Carychium minus in his catalogue.

Melampus flavus, Morel., Journ. de Conch, xiii. 239 (1873) 



Habitat Maio (sec. Morelet) ; a DD. Bouvier et de Cessac, 

 nisi fallor, lectus. 



I know nothing about this Melampus, except that it is said 

 by Morelet to have been found in Maio, I conclude (though 

 he does not say so) by MM. Bouvier and de Cessac. It appears 

 to be a widely distributed species, occurring also in Prince's 

 Island, and even the West Indies.
