Descriptive of tree snails was not utilized in the preparation Of this volume for the reason that his treat ment of species could not be reconciled with the views herein expressed. Moreover, it is believed that had Hyatt visited the Islands and seen the actual association of forms, his ideas must have been very materially changed.
