This is the tirst record of the occurrence of this species at 

 Barbados. " It occurs under stones, and though generally 

 diffused over the island is less common than either Helix 

 ■isahella or H. similaris. The living animal has a pretty 

 appearance through the translucent shell, the foot being 

 lemon-yellow, the tentacles red, with a stripe of the same 

 colour down the back. The eyes, as usual, are black." 

 {Feilden.) 



It is common at Demerara, where it has been obtained 

 plentifully by Mr. J. J. Queleh, of the Georgetown Museum.

 in the garden at Leais. In hot weather the animal half 

 buries itself in the soil under the shade of dense-leaved trees
