The banded form [B. multifasciatus, Guppy) lives on trees, 

 and is found throughout the colony, being perhaps more common 

 at Monos Island. — Gill, Guppy. The yellowish-white bandless 

 variety, Pfeiffer's var. ^9 (B. immaculatus, Guppy), is found on 

 the tops of trees in the forests, over a great part of the island. 

 It is very abundant in some localities, particularly in some gar- 

 dens at Port-of-Spain. — Gill, Guppy. 



Guppy entirely misapprehends this and the species to which 

 h-e refers the two forms. Specimens of both, collected in Trini- 

 dad by Gill, were submitted by me to PfeifFer in 1865, labelled 

 ^'B. Vincentinus? 'Fh'.','' he returned them with the following 

 note : " I cannot compare the type, but think it is the same spe- 

 cies." The specimens collected both by Gill and Guppy agree 

 in every respect with Pfeiffer's description, and are certainly en- 

 tirely distinct from B. midtifasciatus^ Lam., and B. immacnlatus^ 

 C. B. Adnms, — the latter, so far as I know, peculiar to Jamaica. 

 Pfeiffer gives St. Vincent as habitat of the type, and Venezuela 

 of var. /9. 



Guppy (Ann. and Mag. June, 1868) says, " the shell identi- 

 fied by me with B. immaculatus, Reeve,* seems probably not to 

 be that species, but an uncolored variety of the Trinidad form of 

 B. multifaseiatus determined to be B. Vincentinus, Pfr. ;" but, 

 as I have already stated, the two last named species are distinct. 



Reeve's figures (Conch. Icon., pi. Iv, 'No. 366), especially of 

 the typical banded form, faithfully represent the species. He 

 remarks that the locality assigned to it in the name given by 

 Pfeiffer is somewhat doubtful. I do not believe that the species 

 occurs in St. Vincent. 



20. Bulimus multifasciatus, Lamarck. 



Gill brought one specimen (var. /9, Pfr. Mon. ii, 168) from 

 Trinidad, and I have lately received one, with two young shells 

 of B. Vincentinus, from Guppy, the three labelled Avith Lamarck's 

 name. The young shells of the effuse-lipped Bulimi (such as B, 



* Reeve first published a description of this species. Adams had pre- 

 viously distributed specimens under the name which Reeve adopted.
