SNAILS. 
Besides some fine examples of Acusta laeta, 
a delicate snail, we observed members of a fine 
Succinea, or amber-snail, on the broad-ribbed leaves 
of a species of Hoteia, which grows abundantly 
in the moist places. The incessant attacks of 
mosquitoes and sand-flies, however, obliged us 
frantically to fly from this locality to drier and 
more elevated ground.
