VARIATION AND ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF LIGUUS IN FLORIDA. 4o7 



Fakahatchee Key. We found no Liguus f and the inhabitants of the \*\ 

 who know the shells well, said they believed none to live on the bland. There 

 is abundant hammock apparently well fitted for these snails. 



Russell Key. We obtained Liguus here in 1904 and also in March, 1906. 



Wiggin's Key, Sandfly Pass. The inhabitants know Ligum and spoke of tin 

 shells as abundant at times. A bleached one was shown us. A long and oeref ul 



anh yielded none. 

 Turner Place or Key, Turner River. This is about one mile from Choko- 



loskee Key. Liguus was collected in 1904. In 1906 our visit was comperei ively 

 short, but considerable ground was covered by three persons. Only two Liguut 

 were found high in gumbo limbo trees. It was explained that the frequent liree 

 made to clear out the brush had destroyed most of the snails. 



Chokoloskee Key." Liguus in abundance in 1904. Most of th< snails were 

 well up in the trees. On revisiting the key in 1906 we found that much ground 

 had been cleared since our last visit. Some Liguu* are still to be hi en on the 

 trees. We bought a large number of shells from Mr. C. G. McKinney. among 

 which were a few black ones. Although we collected a good many Liguu* from 

 the trees at Chokoloskee in 1906, and had boys procure for us many more from 

 the trees with the living animal, none was of the black variety, like th i obtained 

 from Mr. McKinney. 



Monroe Co. 



Rabbit Key. A small outside key a few miles south of the past leading to 

 Chokoloskee Key. Liguus was found fairly numerous on the ground, but none 

 was found alive after an exhaustive search. We were told that the northwestern 

 part of the key, where we found the shells, was burned off about a year ago. 

 Many shells lay on the ground, discolored by the flames. 



Pavilion Key. Liguus does not occur on this key. OxystyUi floridcrm* is 



abundant on the trees. 



Mormon Key (- "Harrison Key" on some maps). No snails found. 



On Chatham River, which empties into the Gulf near Mormon Key, we found 



no snails for three miles up. 



Snake Key. No snails; no shells on the ground. 



Turkey Key. No snails; no shells on the ground. 



Seminole Point. A key locally known as Plover Point. Many OxystyUi in 



a restricted space, but no Liguus seen. 



A nameless key. No Liguus; no shells on the ground. 



Porpoise Point (a key). No Liguus; no shells on the ground. 



Lossman's Key, between Lossman's River and Rodgers R. In 1904 no 



nails were met with in a personal search of the high ground bordering this 



key, but a guide sent into the center of the key where a large amount of high 



ground is said to exist, brought back about fifty living Liguus which he found there. 



« A recent survey has shown Chokoloskee Key to be in Lee Co. It appears on maps hitherto 

 published in Monroe Co.
