JI. dentiens , H. Josephince , Cyclophorus amelhystinus , He-' 
licina plicatula , and a small species of Glandina ( G . 
perlucens.) On the outskirts of the forest I collected 
another species of Amphihulimci ( A . patula) and a shell, 
■which is probably Bulvmulus virginalis. The last is not 
included in the list of the terrestrial molluska of the 
Island, which I contributed to the “ Annals and Magazine 
of Natural History,” for June 1868 ; but it is mentioned in 
Mr. Bland’s review of my paper in the American Journal 
of Conchologv, and I believe one of my specimens may 
be referred to that species. Near the top of Mount 
Kuliabon, where the trees are much stunted, a clusia was 
abundant. A fine view is obtained from the summit, there 
being no trees — the vegetation consisting principally of 
large lycopodiums, a bamboo ( Arthrostylidnim pulescens ) 
and a long grass. Some one had erected a flagstaff on 
the top, its remains being still visible. 
On the I5th November I rode round the southern end of 
the Island. The roads here are mere paths cut in the 
sides of the mountains, and in some places it appeared 
quite wonderful that it should be possible to construct a 
path at all. Nevertheless, the roads are good of their 
kind, and getting about Dominica is very much easier 
than getting about Trinidad. In the latter there are tracks, 
called by courtesy roads, designed for the passage of 
wheeled vehicles, but which are mere quagmires the 
greater part of the year. In Dominica there are, I be- 
lieve, no carriages whatever, and wheeled vehicles of any 
kind are extremely scarce : a few being used on some of 
the more level sugar estates for carting canes. The near- 
est parallel to the Dominica roads here are the tracks up 
Caura and Guanapo valleys ; but the Dominica roads go 
over high mountain passes ; they lead amongst highly
