Remarhs. This in general form is much like H. Duclosi- 

 ana, Fer., but the interior projecting tooth is wanting and the 

 callus on the basal margin is more developed. 



The species belongs to the subgenus Plagioptycha, which 

 is peculiarly characteristic of the Haitian fauna. I have else-

 Inagua, to whom I am indebted for many interesting shells 

 from the Bahamas. 



Helix marginella, Gmel. {Caracolus).

 Puerto Eico, in which the dark band almost covers the upper 

 whorls, leaving simply a narrow lighter colored margin next

 is also an albino specimen, which was found in 1864, by the 

 late Mr. Haagenson in a w^ood, on San Isidio Estate, near 

 the city of San Juan. 



This species occurs in Vieque and Culabre as well as in 

 Puerto Rico. 



Helix Gaskoini, Pfr. {Caracolus). 



M. Salle first collected this in St. Domingo. He noticed, I 

 learn from him, many specimens, but all appearing dead and 

 white, collected two only, one of which remains in his Cab- 

 inet, the other in Cuming's. 



Professor Gabb found specimens during his explorations 

 in St. Domingo, and one of them was given to me by Dr.
