3. BuLiMUS TORALLYi, D'Orb., var. B. sisalensis, Morelet. 



In the summer of 1867 I noticed, in the cabinet of Mr. Robert 

 Swift, (then of Philadelphia, but now of St. Thomas, W. I.), a 

 number of shells somewhat closely allied to, but certainly dis- 

 tinct from, B. elongatus. I sent specimens to M. Crosse, whr 

 submitted them to Dr. Pfeiifer, by whom they were considereu 

 to be B. siscdensis, Mor., treated by Pfeiifer as var. of B. 

 Torallyi. The determination appears to me somewhat doubtful, 

 but I here record it. 



4. Strophia (Pupa) uva, L. 



I have opened several specimens, and in one nearly adult 

 example found several lamelliform teeth, one on the floor of the 

 tenth whorl (reckoning from the apex,) with another immediately 

 above. In the preceding whorl, four of such teeth, two below 

 and two above. The young shell is not umbilicated. 



Helix pentodon., Menke, has been referred to Curasao on the 

 authority of Cuming, (Pfr. Mon. iv.) but it is apprehended with- 

 out sufficient evidence. Dr. v. Martens (Malak. Blat. vi. p. 209, 

 1859), suggested that Menke's shell is in fact the young of 

 some species of Pupa. Sometime since I forwarded a number 

 of shells from the Bahamas to Dr. Pfeiffer, and among them 

 young and adult specimens of a species from Duck Key, de- 

 scribed by him as P. Mdleri, (Malak. Blat., 1867, p. 129, and 

 Novitates, iii. 365, No. 491, tab. Ixxxiv, fig. 6-13). Dr. Pfeiffer 

 writes me, " An object of great interest were the young 'speci- 

 mens of Pwpa Mdleri ; I believe that Helix pentodon, Menke, 

 already designated by v. Martens as a young Pupa, belongs 

 to this species, although I cannot compare with the types of 

 that species." See also Pfeiffer in Mon. v, 219, 1868. 



BUEN-AYRE (BONAIRE). 



1. TUDORA VERSICOLOR, Pfr. 



The habitat of this pretty and variable species has not been 

 hitherto published. I have lately received a great number of 

 living specimens from Mr. R. Swift, which came from this 

 island. In my catalogue (1861) If referred it doubtfully to 

 Jamaica, on the authority of the late Mr. McMurray.
