" In my opinion B. oblongus is not indigenous in St. Vincent. 

 The Indians ate this and other large Bulimi, and may readily have 

 introduced the species from the mainland, where it is common, and 

 where they often went on their forays " (H. H. Smith). 



In Grenada " this species is moderately common in gardens and 

 shady places below 1000 ft. Probably an imported species" (H. H. 

 Smith). 



Bulimus oblongus has recently been found by Mr. H. G. Hubbard, 

 of the U. S. Agricultural Department, flourishing in St. Kitts, where 

 it has been introduced from Antigua by a resident conchologist. 

 (Dolt).
