Jn Florida L. fasciatus is said to range from Key West to Miami, 

 and northward on the west coast to Goodland Point. It is defi- 

 nitely known from the following keys and mainland localities : 



Key West (Binney) ; which color form is not recorded. 



Pine Key (Simpson) ; "a very large form, greatly elongated with 

 flattened whorls and beautifully marked with brown, green, blue and 

 purple on a yellow ground, columella and tip of spire pink. One 

 living shell found, of a chalky-white throughout, having a single 

 very narrow olive line on the body and next whorl, the columella 

 being as distinctly truncated as most of the African Achatinas." 



No Name Key (Hemphill). See Var. VII above, and pi. 59, fig. 

 97. Delicate mottled shells, resembling those from Lignum Vitre 

 Key, and the var. pictus of Cuba. 



Key Vaccas (Hemphill). See pi. 59, fig. 95. " Small, thick, 

 four upper whorls white with longitudinal dark chestnut blotches, 

 lower three w)iorls very dark green, almost black, with white longi- 

 tudinal flammules and black revolving bands." 



Grassy Key (Joseph Willcox). Pure white, with pale olive- 

 green lines. Two specimens. 



Rabbit Key (Simpson). " Variety having a wide brown band." 



Lignum Vita Key (Willcox). See var. VII, above, and pi. 59, 

 figs. 90, 91. Delicately mottled with purple and lineate with green.

 streaks, the apex and columella pink ; pi. 59, fig. 94. (b) The 

 same, with pale green lines on the last whorl, (c) White with two 

 wide black or red-brown bands, the upper one ascending the spire, 

 pi. 59, fig. 93, or the bands yellow with brown streaks, pi. 59, fig. 

 92, and sometimes wanting on the last whorl or replaced by greenish 

 lines there. Thirty two specimens. 



Biscayne Key (Binney). Color forms not recorded. 



Miami, Dade Co., on the mainland (S. N. Rhoads, H. A. Pilsbry). 

 This is apparently near or at the limit of distribution northward on 

 the east coast of Florida. See varieties VI, Via, VI&, Vic, Vic/, 

 Vie, and pi. 60, all figures. The earlier whorls and columella are 

 indifferently white or pink in all the color-forms. The color-patterns 

 are somewhat localized, some colonies affording green-banded shells
