There can be no question that v. Hasselt's group Geotrochus was
founded on species of Trochomorpha or Trochonanina. " Under the
generic name Geotrochus, I group three little shells, agreeing with
Trochus in form of the shell, but with Helix in the animal." The
species obtusus, turriculatus and zonatus are enumerated by v. Hasselt.
The absence of true Papuina in Java, and the abundance of Trocho-
nanina at the localities visited by Hasselt, cause Dr. v. Martens to
surmise that he had before him Helix winteriana and conus or allied
species. Swainson and many others have used the name Geotrochus
for H. pileus and allies, and it is an unfortunate circumstance that
the change is necessary.

Shell turbinate or trochiform, imperforate or umbilicate, rounded
at the periphery or carinated. Surface smooth or variously
sculptured, not hirsute. Aperture oblique ; peristorne expanded.

4 HELIX-PAPUINA.

The species are illustrated on plates 1 to 17.

No exact diagnosis can be framed for a group in which such
diverse forms occur as in Papnina. It is still, however, an easy
matter to recognize a species as belonging here ; for with all its
variety, the group is a very natural one, well differentiated from
other branches of the Helix stock. The central point for the sub-
genus, geographically, is New Guinea ; the species extending eastward
to the Louisiade, Admiralty and Solomon Islands, with a few in the
New Hebrides, and northwestward into the Moluccas. The distribu-
tion is, therefore, practically the same as that of the subgenus
Chloritis (-{- Planispira, etc.)

In a previous volume the writer has separated the South American
group Oxyckona from Papuina. It remains to sunder the species of
southeastern Asia and the zoologically dependent islands, w7hich will
be discussed after the true Papuina-species. The latter form a
moderately homogeneous group, in which it is practically impossible
to establish " sections " to correspond to the various names given in
the above synonymy. It seems to me a better plan to form the
species into a number of groups, each typified by its more prominent
specific type. These groups are of somewhat unequal value, and
bear various degrees of affinity to each other ; but they undoubtedly
form a basis for a natural system. It is likely that anatomical char-
acters will afford a good clue to the minor groups.

H. chancei Cox, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 171, t. 16, f. 5.

Resembles closely the following species in coloring, but is very
differently proportioned.

H. AMPHIZONA Pilsbry. PI. 8, figs. 52, 53, 54.

Imperforate ; turbinate-conic, the spire elevated, apex obtuse ;
whorls 6J, the last rounded at the periphery, descending in front.
Surface having light oblique growth-lines, and very close, fine, cren-
ulated spiral striae. Color creamy-white at suture and periphery,
the base and a wide band above dark brown ; earlier whorls purple-
black.

This is a large solid shell ; the spire is conical, whorls somewhat
convex, the earlier three or four of a dark-reddish or purple-black
color. The last whorl has no trace of a carina. The aperture is
very oblique, banded inside ; peristome well expanded, reflexed, the
dark bands extending upon it half-way to the edge, the outer portion
being white ; the columella and parietal wall are dark brown.
Columella wide, adnate, flat, its inner edge somewhat straightened,
arcuate and deeply entering at the insertion.

HELIX-PAPUINA.

Like H. chancel in coloring, but so different in proportions that I
do not feel justified in uniting them.

Differs from H. pileus, H. lenta and H. euchroes in being im-
perforate at all stages of growth, a young specimen before me having
the slender itxis completely solid. The specimens before me are
three in number. They were presented to the Academy by John
H. Campbell Esq., of Philadelphia. Figures 52, 53 represent a
perfect specimen. The original of fig. 54 is somewhat worn, making
the upper band appear more broken and narrower than it naturally
is. I give the locality with much doubt, as I do not know the
history of the specimens.

H. BOIVINI Petit. PI. 6, figs. 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20.

Imperforate, turbinate, smooth, the periphery rounded ; white,
banded with blackish-brown ; lip edged with bright orange-red.

The spire is conical, apex obtuse ; whorls 6, slightly convex, the
last rounded at the periphery, slightly descending in front. Surface
Btriatulate, smooth, shining. Color white or cream, conspicuously
banded with blackish-brown bands, of which one above and one
below the periphery are most constant (there being also, usually, a
band a short distance below the suture and one or several on the
base). Aperture very oblique, banded within ; peristome narrowly
expanded, white, edged with intense orange. Columella sloping,
straightened, flattened, dilated and closely appressed over the
umbilical tract.

Readily recognized by the brilliant orange edge of the narrowly
reflexed lip, and the black bands. There are often some reddish-
brown hands also; and some specimens have the greater part of the
base of this color.

HELIX-PAPUINA. 7

H. AMBROSIA Angas. PI. 4, figs. 75, 76, 77.

Imperforate, turbinate, rounded at the periphery, having a broad-
dark-brown band above (often split into two bands) which is macu-
lated with angular patches of opaque white ; base either unicolored
deep brown or having a brown band below the periphery ; lips
white.

The spire is conical, apex whitish, obtuse; whorls 5tr, slightly
convex, the last a little descending in front. Surface smooth, shin-
ing, lightly striatulate. There is a narrow white border below the
suture, a wide white girdle at the periphery, and usually the broad
blackish-brown band on the upper surface is split into two by a
white zone. The base is either unicolored blackish-brown, or is
white shading into brown below a dark band. Aperture oblique,
subrhombic, dark within ; the face and reverse of the narrowly ex-
panded lip are white. The columella is oblique, wide, subtruncate
below.

H. malantensis ANGAS, P. Z. S. 1876, p. 488, t. 47, f. 1-3.

Closely allied to H. ambrosia var. ramsdeni, but lacking hydro-
phanous patches, and having a greater number of bands. It differs
from H. f/uadalcanarensis in being somewhat more elevated, and
not angled at the periphery. Figures 20, 21, 22 and the measure-
ments last given above are from Angas. The other figure repre-
sents the shell before me, described above.

H. PHILOMELA Angas. PI. 4, figs. 66, 67.

Shell im perforate, trochiform, moderately solid, obliquely obscurely
striated ; whitish, the whorls ornamented in the middle with a broad
fascia composed of numerous purplish chocolate bands with a similar
fascia below the periphery, and crossed obliquely with close narrow
white lines corresponding with the lines of growth ; spire conical,
apex obtuse, purplish-black, whorls 6, moderately convex, sutures
impressed, last whorl rather inflated descending in front, and con-
tracted behind the aperture, base somewhat flattened; aperture sub-
ovate, very oblique, peristome thickened expanded and slightly
reflected, the right margin a very little sinuated ; columellar margin
dilated, and furnished within with a prominent callus terminating
abruptly within the aperture; the columella and the interior of the
aperture dark chocolate-brown, the inner edge of the lip orange, and
the reflected portion white, immediately behind which is a pigment-
like black deposit on the whorl. (Angas.')

Differs 1'nnn H. gnadalcanarensis in the form of the columella.

The form figured by Angas is said by Cox to be the rarest
variety of this species, and cannot be regarded as an ordinary rep-
resentative. It is found abundantly at the Louisiade and Solomon
Is. ; and the prevailing color is white, with a dark black edge behind
th«- reflexed lip. (See Cox, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 566, under H. re-

H. GUABALCANARENSIS Cox. Pl.v4, figs. 80, 81 ; pi. 16, figs. 23, 24.
Imperforate, globose-turbinate, the spire conical, apex obtCise,

brownish-corneous; whorls 5, 'somewhat convex, the earlier 2 or
uuicolored, corneous ; the last whorl distinctly and rather acutely
angled in front, the angle becoming indistinct on the latter part of
the whorl ; toward the aperture the whorl usually descends a trifle.
Surface lightly striatulate, shining. Color pale brown, having a
wide white girdle at the periphery, and (typically) numerous narrow
brown bands above, fewer below. Aperture very oblique, large,
more or less distinctly banded inside ; lip expanded, white ; colu-
mella spreading at its insertion.

The angular periphery, numerous narrow bands, and the dark
streak just behind the expansion of the white lip are characteristic
marks of this species. H. philomela Angas is evidently closely
allied.

Variety (pi. 16, figs. 23, 24). A color-variety having narrow

abruptly descending in front, but not descending as far as the basal
band. Lightly marked by growth-lines, but smooth and polished.
White, the lips and columella bordered with deep chestnut- brown,
the base suffused with brown around the columella ; and usually
there is in addition a broad brown girdle on the periphery, a nar-
row7 brown border above and below the suture, and a basal stripe.
There are some sparsely scattered, small, grayish dots, usually few
in number and inconspicuous.

The broadly brown-bordered lip, polished surface destitute of an-
teriorly descending wrinkles, and the small sparsely scattered bluish-
translucent dots, are the more prominent characters of the species.
H. gamelia is closely allied, but it lacks the dark lip, and has the
upper lip more arched forward ; H. hargreavesi further differs from
H. gamelia in having the last whorl abruptly and considerably
deflexed in front.

H. GAMELIA Angas. PL 3, figs. 44, 45, 46, 47.

Imperforate, low-turbinate, thin ; spire conical, apex light, obtuse;
whorls 5-2, slightly convex, the last either rounded or subangular at
the periphery, not descending in front; surface smooth, lightly
striatulate, color cream white, becoming light brown on the latter
half of the body-whorl, white on the spire, encircled by a narrow
dark brown band bordering the suture below, a wider band at the
periphery, and another on the base midway between axis and peri-
phery; all visible within the aperture. Aperture very oblique, sub-
rhombic ; lip white or light brown, the columella brown.

The lip is bordered behind by a light and then a dark stfreak.
The upper lip is slightly expanded, notably arched forward, reced-
ing toward the outer angle of the mouth. The columellar lip is
spread in a thin brown callus over the impressed umbilical region.
The edge of the columella is thickened ; it is not truncated at the
base. Alt. 18-1 greater diam. 21, lesser 17$ mill. %

This shell, like Helix meta Pfr., is subject to remarkable varia-
tions in color, but may at once be distinguished by its smaller size,
the convexity of the whorls, and the roundness of the aperture, in
which the subflexuous outer lip and diagonal form of H. meta are
wanting. The general form of the shell presents somewhat of a
Paludina-Yike aspect. The outer lip is much less expanded and
reflected than in H. meta, and the texture less glossy and shining.

When typical this form may be known by the dark brown or
olive body-whorl, purple spire and broad white sutural border.
There are, however, many variations in color pattern. One of the
commonest is pictured in fig. 60. The color is clear yellow becom-
ing purple above ; sutural band present ; lip dark. Another yellow
form lacks the purple on spire, and has the lip white ; suture
bordered.

H. deidamia Angas (PL 9, fig. 70) is a synonym of the typical
form.

Var. ACMELLA Pfr. PI. 9, figs. 64, 65, 66, 62.

Upper portion of the outer lip more expanded ; color clear-light-
olive-yellow, paler on the spire ; lip white.

The alleged differences of form between this and H. meta do not
hold in the series of 36 specimens before me, in which some shells
with the widest body-whorl, have the typical coloration of meta (fig.
63). H. acmella has been collected on Bougainville, Ysabel, Faro and
Florida Islands of the Solomon Group. The locality " Admiralty
Islands" originally given for the species, is incorrect.

Smith mentions a specimen from the coral limestone region of
Florida Island, which has the body-whorl of a salmon tint and the
three uppermost volutions bright red. The lip is white. A speci-
men before me lias the same coloration. This form corresponds
with fig. 4, of plate 36, P. Z. S. 1856, considered by Pfeiffer as a
form of meta. I have figured it on PI. 17, fig. 27.

H. PLAGIOSTOMA Pfeiffer. PL 10, figs. 88, 89.

Narrowly perforated, elevated trochiform, carinated at the periph-

epidermis, beneath which the substance of the shell is purplish-pink ;
the lip expanded and of the same color.

The spire is conical ; whorls 5J, the last not descending in front.
The upper whorls are pale purple-pink, as is the whole shell when
denuded of the thin epidermis. There is a yellowish-white border
below the suture. The base sometimes shows very fine concentric
striae under a lens and is rather flattened. Aperture subtriangular ;
outer lip expanded, thin, flesh colored or purplish ; columella
triangularly reflexed, its inner face nearly straight and vertical.

wider body-whorl, and the upper part of the outer lip is more ex-

H. GUPPYI Smith. PL 10, fig. 95, (enlarged).

Shell elevately conical, thin, pale yellow, ornamented with con-
spicuous nearly black or black-brown spiral bands, one above and
one below the sutures of the upper whorls, and three upon the last,
one sutural, the second peripheral, and the third basal ; volutions 6,
rather slowly enlarging, a little convex, sculptured with fine oblique
striae of growth, not glossy. Three first whorls livid purplish, the
last rather sharply angled at the middle, not descending in front,
having the basal band broad around the almost concealed perfora-
tion, and obsolete within the aperture. The latter is oblique, some-
what narrowed and pouting in front, banded within with three
almost black and two white bands, the central one of the former be-
ing squarely truncate at the end, only the lower corner of it touch-
ing the margin of the lip, which is pale, oblique, receding, a little
expanded and reflexed in front at the columellar margin, the upper
end of which is spread and nearly conceals the small umbilicus.

26 HELIX-PAPUINA.

The above synonymy was first worked out by Tapparone Canefri.
The prominent characters of the species are its elevated spire,
angular periphery begirt with a brown line, strong, regular
sculpture, etc.

Var. a. (pi. 3, fig. 59). Shell more convex, umbilicus more open,
periphery less angular, destitute of a brown line. (Tap. Can.')

Var. b. (pi. 3, fig. 60). Shell less elevated, distinctly carinated,
whorls less convex.

The H. gartneriana of Pfeiffer (pi. 8, figs. 57, 58) was reported
from Night Island, N. Australia by Macgillivray, but doubtless
erroneously, mistaking for it the somewhat similar H. poiretiana.
See also TATE, Trans. & Proc. Roy. Soc. S. Australia, v, p. 49, 50,
1881-'82. The H. ZOCK Pfr. is figured on pi. 9, figs. 75, 76. It seems
to be completely synonymous.

H. poiretiana, which also has a basal brown line, differs from this
species in having the last whorl decidedly descending in front.

H. CANOVARII Tapparone Canefri. PI. 3, fig. 56.

Nearly covered umbilicate, elevated trochiform, longitudinally
very closely and minutely obliquely striated ; carinated ; pale horn
colored, but when the epidermis is removed it is pale violaceous,,
flesh-colored toward the apex.

Spire high-conical, apex sub-acute. Whorls nearly 7, a little
convex, separated by a distinct suture, margined above ; last whorl
rather acutelv carinated below its middle ; base little convex, hav-

«/

ing very delicate radiating striae. Aperture ovate-subrhomboidal,.
oblique ; peristome amethystine, a little thickened, all around sub-
expanded and more reflexed, margins not approximating, the
outer lip sub-angular in the middle, basal lip nearly straight, colu-
mella little oblique, dilated, almost closing the umbilicus.

(4.) GROUP OF H. POIRETIANA.

Narrowly, obliquely, perforated ; elevated-trochiform : the last
whorl descending in front ; the superior lip not expanded. Surface
obliquely lightly striatulate.

Differs from the groups typified by H. meta and H. pileus in the
descending last whorl, and simple, not expanded outer lip.

H. POIRETIANA Pfeiffer. PL 8, figs. 46, 47, 48, 49.

Narrowly, obliquely perforated, elevated-conical, the periphery
rounded ; last whorl, deeply deflexed in front ; color white, with a
narrow brown line below the middle of the body-whorl, and a faint
brown spot on the columella.

The spire is high-conic, apex obtuse ; whorls 7, scarcely convex,
the last descending in front. Surface somewhat shining, obliquely
striatulate ; pure-white above, brown-tinged beneath, with a narrow
band (often sub-obsolete) just under the periphery. Aperture trans-
versely oblong ; upper and outer lips, not expanded, basal lip some-
what expanded, triangularly dilated at the umbilicus, which it
nearly conceals.

HELIX-PAPUINA. 29

Agrees with H. antiqua in form and proportional size of aperture,
but differs in the clear lemon-yellow color. In this last character it
resembles the form described by Sowerby as H. horderi, but that
species has a far more elevated spire and greater number of whorls.
I have doubts as to whether this form and the next are actually
from New Guinea, as alleged.

H. HORDERI Sowerby. PI. 14, fig. 58.

Narrowly perforated, elevated, conical, rather solid, obliquely
very finely striated, yellow. Spire elevated, apex acute. Whorls
6, a little convex, the last slightly inflated, obsoletely angled at the
periphery, the base convex. Aperture wide, oblique ; peristome
broadly expanded and reflexed, columellar margin provided with a
small tooth-like tubercle inside, outwardly dilated, flattened.

Differs apparently from H, antiqua in the yellow color, greater
number of whorls and higher spire, consequently the mouth is

shorter in proportion to the total length.

(6). GROUP OF H. PILEOLUS.

Subperforate or imperforate ; pyramidal, acutely carinated, the
base flat. Distribution, Moluccas and New Guinea.

H. PILEOLUS Ferussac. PI. 11, figs. 99, 100, 1, 2, 3.

or brownish, flamed with brown ; apex acute, liver-brown ; spire
conical, more or less elevated ; suture superficial, hair-margined.
Whorls 5, the earlier 2 or 3 convex, the remainder flat, the last a
little convex below, descending a little (rarely not at all) in front.
Aperture very oblique, rhombic-triangular, the peristome reflexed,
white or pale rose-brown ; at the outer angle it is curved over into a
beak, and at the columellar insertion it is dilated. {Mart.")

The peristome is very broadly reflexed, and is somewhat angled
at the outer extremity. Wallace mentions a variety having no
peripheral girdle, and paler in color. The specimens before me are
larger than Ferussac's figures, and somewhat less angular. They
correspond well with Dohrn's figures. There is considerable varia-
tion in the degree of covering of the umbilicus.

This species has a more convex base than If. lituus and its other
allies.

H. (Papuina) cerope E. A. SMITH, Ann. Mag. N. H. (6th ser.),

This species somewhat resembles H. aurora Pfr. in form, but is a
trifle higher in proportion to the diameter. It also differs in being
a smaller form, and in having a larger umbilicus. The young of
this species is evidently sharply keeled at the middle, but in the
adult shell the keel gradually disappears toward the aperture.

The contrast between the olive base and white or bluish upper
surface, and the coarse wrinkling are the more striking characters
of this shell. Pfeiffer described the narrower form as a distinct spe-

cies, but there is not the slightest ground for a separation. A specimen
before me has an indistinct band above, and the col umella and pari-
etal wall are of a blackish-chestnut color (pi. 16, figs. 25, 26). Pfeif-
fer and Dohrn give Admiralty Is. as the locality of the species, but
those before me are from the Solomons, and I am disposed to think
the other locality doubtful, it being taken from the Curning
collection.

two bands but no zigzag markings. Fig. 25 represents a rarer form,
in which the whole shell including lip is reddish-brown, with darker
flammules. Of the large suite of specimens before me the more
recently collected are from the Solomon Is. Two old trays (one
from Cuming) are marked A dmirality Is., but this locality, although
given by all writers above referred to, requires confirmation, in my
opinion.

creamy-white, with a chestnut-brown band above the periphery,
ascending the spire, and another below the periphery. Aperture
oblique, lip expanded, white.

The spire is composed of 6 rather convex whorls, separated by
more or less distinctly impressed sutures. The last whorl descends
in front as far as, or just below, the lower brown band. The bands
are continuous and have smooth, well-defined edges ; they are
prominently seen within the aperture. The lip is broadly expanded,
closely appressed in the vicinity of the umbilicus, which is covered
by a thin white callus. The columella has a thickened edge, and a

Three trays before me are from the Solomons. Figures 68, 69 are
a little Hatter than Pfeiffer's type. Numerous shells before me agree
in characters; others are more elevated (figs. 70, 71), but I am un-

the convexity of the whorls, but it is probably never so marked asin
H. coniform is, which is from another island group, and doubtless dis-
tinct specifically.

There is a translucent-bluish patch around the columella, faint, but
\\ell-defined against the opaque cream ground-color of the shell.
This occurs also in H. gamelia. All of the specimens seen are two-
handed.

color of the peristome with the white tint of the rest of the shell,
that it will be readily recognized. The edge of the aperture is thick-

rather deeply bordered, especially within, with purple-brown.

H. RANGII Lesson. (H. EXTRICANDA Tapp. Can.)

Shell suborbicular, globulose, ventricose, imperforate, convex, the
last whorl of the spire much swollen, very ventricose, rounded in
every part. Lips thick, bordered, the left margin dilated, covering
the umbilicus with a smooth plate. The mouth is rounded, the per-
istome level and convex. The earlier whorls of the spire are small,
convex, united by a very delicate suture. The shell is entirely
covered with excessively fine interrupted stride, which viewed under
a lens are seen to be composed of regular, elevated aretes, forming
a shagreened surface.

This helix is thick, robust, with a diameter of 18 lines [33 mill.],
alt. 13-14 lines [26-28 mill.] ; of a clean bright-chestnut color, the
greater portion of the base being of a lighter tint. It has great
resemblance in form and size to H. melanotragus. (Lesson.*)

This species is known only by the original description translated
above. The color of the lip is not stated. Later collectors in New
Guinea have not found a shell agreeing with it. The comparison
with H. melanotragus suggests an affinity to the group of H. bru-
meriensis, zeno, etc.

Accepting the synonymy given by Dr. Pfeiffer as probably
founded upon some knowledge of this form not given in the descrip-
tion, I placed the name in the synonymy of Hadra lessoni (MANUAL

priety of such reference. It should be erased from that place.

The apical whorls of this very pretty species and the region
an»un»l tin- umbilicus are opalescent white and devoid of the oblique
marking and bauds. In the type, the upper terminations of the
brownish, oblique, irregular stripes on the body-whorl are almost of
a reddish tint, and form, as it were, a series of spots at the suture.

from that species in the absence of color-markings and spiral striae.
The last whorl also is a trifle narrower, and does not descend in
front. (Smith.')

This species is closely allied to H. strabo, but apparently con-
stantly separated by the creamy peripheral band and deep purplish-
black peristome. The type is figured on pi. 17, figs. 40, 41.

The variety called yulensis by Brazier (pi. 2, figs. 28, 29, 30, 31)
is smaller, with the " spout" of the aperture less developed. It must
however be regarded as a variety or form of the tayloriana.

intermediate between H. strabo Braz. and H. louisiadensis Forbes,
approaching rather near to the var. katauensis of the former. Should
be looked for in Southern New Guinea and adjacent islands.

the absence of the characteristic oblique fine strise on the surface of
the whorls. (Cox.*)

Closely allied to and perhaps a variety of H. eddystonensis, from
which the dark apical whorls and more variegated color separate it.
Cox says :

I was at first disposed to look upon it as a variety of Helix eddy-
stonensis (Reeve), but the sculpture of this shell appears to me to be
always coarser, and the surface invariably more or less covered with
a thick white, opaque enamel, unlike the thin epidermis which covers
H. eddystonensis. Its dark, almost black, apex and white zoned
and irregularly ornamented body show in strong contrast, and
resemble more some of the Philippine Island species than any of those
found in the Solomon Islands. This species is uniformly of a smaller

The whorls are fewer and wider than in any other Papuina.
This, in combination with the obliquely corrugated surface, imper-
forate axis and depressed form, render it easy to recognize.

It has been suggested that H. moseleyi belongs to Cristigibba, but
there is nothing about the shell to warrant such reference.

This very pretty species closely resembles H.fringilla of Pfeiffer,
which inhabits the Admiralty Islands. Indeed it is so nearly related
to it that were I not certain of the correctness of the locality whence
it was obtained, I should have hesitated to describe it as new.

It is, however, a thinner, lighter, and smoother shell, the spire is
a trifle higher and less obtuse, the whorls a little more convex, more
regular, the penultimate proportionally smaller, and the last larger
and not showing that decided constriction behind the lip which is so
characteristic of Pfeiffer's species. The lip, too, is thinner and with-
out the least trace of a tooth-like projection on the columellar edge.
Specimens offringilla in fine condition exhibit distinct spiral stride
on the entire surface ; such sculpture is only just traceable in young
examples of the present species.

One of these young shells has a particularly beautiful appearance,
owing to the broad white band at the periphery, which is margined
on both sides by a dark brown stripe contrasting prettily with the
ground color, which is bright fulvous or rich faun.

Three specimens, one adult and two immature, have been presented
to the British Museum bv Mr. H. A. Glanville Barnacle, whose

». *

name I feel much pleasure in associating with this species, since to
him is owing its discovery.

This form of Helix, being so different from any other hitherto
found in the Sandwich Islands led me to think that there must be
some mistiikc with regard to the alleged habitat. I therefore, wrote

HELIX-PAPUINA. 75

to Mr. Barnacle upon the subject, whose reply runs as follows: — "I
am perfectly certain that the specimens I have were grown on the
Sandwich Islands, and some of them had the snails in them. Whilst
stationed at Kailua I used at times to go shooting at some brackish
ponds about eight miles away ; and whilst going quietly amongst the
broad reeds to shoot a duck I saw one of the shells about half way
up a reed. I took it and found two or three more that day, and
now and then others, but not many. Few Europeans go to these
ponds, as it is impossible to find them without a guide over the lava
for there is no road. Some I found with the snail, others without ;
those with the animal I put into a cigar box and filled it up with
sea sand ; and so the animal died out, and then I washed them."

This circumstantial account removes all doubt respecting the true
home of this shell. Notwithstanding its close affinity to H. fringilla,
the remoteness of the habitats of the two species and the extreme
isolation of the Sandwich Islands are sufficient reasons in themselves
to determine the specific distinctness of these shells. (Smith.)

(13) GROUP OF H. HELICINOIDES.

Imperforate, trochiform species, with rhombic aperture, the lip
thickened within, not expanded, or only slightly ; the columellar lip
not expanded or reflexed.

These characters define one of the most distinct groups of Papuina,
— a group far more deserving of a sectional name than H.fringiUa,
H. antrorsa or other of the species representing so-called " sections."

I have examined many specimens of all the species except H.
zelina, H. eyrene and H. quirosi.

The species inhabit the Admiralty Is., Solomons and New
Hebrides.

In all other groups of Papuina the columellar lip is reflexed.

H. LABILLARDIEREI Smith. PL 15, figs. 91, 92, 93.

Imperforate, trochiform, spire conical, the periphery of the last whorl
acutely keeled in front, keel more or less obsolete on the latter
portion. Surface lusterless, having rather coarse and irregular
oblique striae. Color whitish unicolored, or with a broad suffused
brownish band below the middle of the body-whorl, or entirely light
pinkish-brown ; the apex black. Whorls 5 ; base very convex, deeply
impressed in the center.

helicinoides.

subrhomboidal ; peristome thickened within, slightly expanded, its
face flattened; slightly angled at the position of the carina;
columellar margin narrow, having an obtuse callous fold above,
near the insertion.

There are 5? whorls, those of the spire nearly rectilinear, the last
whorl slightly convex above and below. The base is deeply impressed
at the axis, having a little pit at the place of the umbilicus ; around
the depression it is very convex, rendering the baso-columellar lip
strongly arcuate. Alt. 12, greater diam. 15, lesser 14 mill.

rhomboidal ; peristome white, narrow, very little expanded, thick-
ened within, columellar margin straightened, sloping, slightly
sinuous.

There are 5, slightly convex whorls ; the apex is corneous-brown ;
the last whorl is convex above, very convex beneath, far more so

ery ; base rounded ; aperture sharply lunar, angled at the periphery
of the last whorl and at the junction of the lower and columellar
margins ; lip slightly thickened and expanded ; columellar margin

This species would be like a magnified specimen of H. cleryi
Reel, were it not wholly unornamented, much more broadly ex-
panded and less conical. ( Cox.)

H. PYXIS Hinds. PL 13, figs. 42, 43.

Small, imperforate, globose-turbinate, the periphery acutely
keeled ; white, slightly translucent. Last whorl descending in front,
swollen and then contracted behind the lip ; columella narrower than
basal lip, not expanded or reflexed except immediately at the inser-
tion.

The surface is slightly shining, irregularly obliquely striate, and
has irregular spiral impressed lines on the base. The spire is
conoidal, apex obtuse. Whorls 4J, convex, the last swollen, acutely
keeled, slowly descending in front; base swollen, then contracted
just behind the lip. Aperture small, very oblique, rounded, not
angular at the position of the keel, which becomes evanescent on the
latter part of the body-whorl. Peristome white, right margin
slightly expanded, basal margin thickened within; columellar
margin narrow, not reflexed.

This is a very pretty little shell, the smallest of the H. helicinoides
group. It further differs from the others in its white color, globose
form, convex whorls, and rounded mouth. The characters of the
eolumella, however, show unmistakably that pyxis is correctly
grouped here.

Imperforate, trochiform, rather solid, covered with a greenish-
tawny epidermis, partly removed ; spire regularly conic, rather
acute; suture margined; whorls 6*, the upper a little convex,

II. Species doubtfully referred to Papuina, inhabiting southeastern
Asia, Andaman Is., Java and Sumatra.

The species included here agree with Papuina in general form,
but differ in texture and usually also in surface-sculpture and color-
ing. In shell characters they approach a number of quite diverse
groups, so that until the anatomy is investigated we will remain
ignorant of the true classification of some of them. Subgeneric
names have been proposed for several of the species.

Under the circumstances it seems best to group them in this place
temporarily. I have indicated, however, under each group my im-
pressions as to its affinities and correct systematic position.

(1) GROUP OF H. PERAKENSIS.

Thin, straightly conical, carinated species, having decided affinities

to the section Satsuma, a portion of them certainly belonging there.

( '.nnpari.- .>n- should also be made with TrocJiomorphoides of Nevill,
type H. <icris Bens., and Ganesella Blanf., type H. capitium Bens.
These groups having been monographed by Tryoii in Vol. Ill of the
MANUAL, 1887, no course is open to me but to include the species
here.

Bulimus sphceroconus Pfr., and some other species should have
been placed in Satsuma, and there are also a number of Philippine
Island species likewise belonging to that characteristically east
Asiatic section.

H. PERAKENSIS Crosse. PL 18, figs. 44, 45.

Shell narrowly umbilicated, turrited-conic, trochiform ; slightly
subobliquely striatulate ; rather thin, subtranslucent, whitish, having
a narrow chestnut zone immediately above the suture ; spire rather
elongated, the apex rotund, sutures impressed. Whorls 6, nearly
flat, the embryonic earlier 2 smooth, corneous ; the last whorl shorter
than the spire (last whorl and spire having the ratio of 4 : 7) ; last
whorl acutely carinated at the periphery, the carina brown, the base
nearly flat. Aperture subquadrate ovate, white inside, showing by
transparence the brown line at the carina. Peristome simple,
shortly reflexed, white, margins separated, the columellar margin
short, straight, outwardly dilated and covering a third of the um-
bilicus ; basal margin subarcuate ; outer lip subangular at the carina,
narrowing above toward the insertion.

certain of the coloring, but no trace of a brown band is visible. It
is probably a distinct species.

little convex, regularly increasing separated by impressed sutures ;
last whorl larger, acutely carinated, sloping above, a little deflexed
and dilated at the aperture. Aperture transversely ovate, lunate,
angled at the outer lower margin ; peristome scarcely thickened,
acute, a little reflexed ; outer margin a little curved, slightly in-
flexed ; basal margin curved, shortly reflexed ; columellar margin

Evidently allied to H. perakensis, but larger, more acutely keeled,
and with narrower umbilicus.

H. ROSTRELLA Pfeiffer. PL 18, figs. 48, 49, 50.

Shell umbilicate, globose-trochiform, rather thin, irregularly striat-
ulate, silky, tawny-corneous. Spire conoid, apex rather acute ;

somewhat thin, grayish-white, scarcely shining; whorls 7, slowly
increasing, the three upper ones convex, the remainder nearly flat,
all over minutely granulate, sculptured with very oblique delicate
growth-stride, at the scarcely oblique sutures margined with a slender
cariua ; last whorl acutely cariuated at the periphery, nearly flat

Remarkable for its elevated form, granulated surface, and the
acute peripheral carina, which continuing upward gives the suture a
carinated appearance.

H. RUFOFILOSA Bock. PL 3, fig. 55.

Shell shortly conical, narrowly umbilicated, thin, semitrausparent,
of a greyish or horn-color, sometimes with a thread-like red line
bordering the sutures and encircling the last whorl at the periphery.
Spire with rectilinear outlines, converging at an angle of about 30°,
rather obtuse at the apex. Whorls 7, very obliquely striated, slowly
increasing, keeled beneath immediately above the suture; three or
four uppermost rather more convex than those beneath, which are

but slightly so ; last volution acutely carinate at the middle, and
convexly flattened beneath. Aperture small, oblique. Peristome
thin, outer margin above the keel scarcely expanded, beneath it

(2) GROUP OF H. WRAYI. (Philidora.)

Philidora DE MORGAN, Bull, de la Soc. Zoologique de France,
1885, p. 384. First species, P. wrayi.

The name Philidora was proposed by de Morgan as a generic term
to replace the preoccupied name Philina of Albers. If it were really
the same as Philina, the name would become a synonym of Obbina
Semper ; but it is not the same. In the absence of specimens I am
unable to say whether the group belongs in the neighborhood of the
Chinese Fruticicoloid Helices, such as Satsuma, or near the section
Trachia. De Morgan has given no diagnosis or characters of his
group.

H. WRAYI de Morgan. PI. 18, figs. 55, 56, 57, 58.

Shell dextral, flattened, bluish-white, narrowly umbilicated, striate,
strongly carinated, composed of 5 whorls, ornamented with ribs
parallel to growth-lines ; upper surface of the whorls flattened, lower
surface rounded ; suture linear, very distinct. Aperture oblique,
elliptical irregular, encroached upon by the preceding whorl ; per-
istome reflexed.

and very strongly carinated, carina extending to the aperture ; com-
posed of 5-6 whorls, which are flattened above, rounded beneath ;
suture a little distinct. Aperture oblique, elliptical, irregular,
slightly encroached upon by the preceding whorl ; peristome reflexed.

(3) GROUP OF H. ARFAKIENSIS. ( Coliolus.)

Coliolus TAPPARONE CANEFRI, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genov., 2d. ser., iv,
p. 131, 1887.

Shell elevated-conical, many-whorled ; whorls obliquely costulate
and bristly ; apex obtuse, mamillar ; base depressed ; terminations
of the peristome connected by a callus. (T. C.)

This section, founded upon a most singular shell, is placed by
Tapparone Canefri in the vicinity of the section Trochomorphoides
of Nevill.

H. ARFAKIENSIS Tapparone Canefri. PI. 18, fig. 59.

Shell trochiform, narrowly umbilicated, corneous ; spire much
elevated, somewhat constricted above, the apex mamillar. Whorls
11, the earlier 4 convex, spirally striate, the following whorls plano-
convex, obliquely sharply costulate, se.tigerous at middle and base,
the bristles long, nearly covering the suture ; last whorl acutely
carinated at the periphery, the base nearly flat, radiately, finely
striated. Aperture dilated, rhombic-quadrangular, very oblique,
the peristome sinuous above, subexpanded, reflexed beneath, in-
curved and in the middle subaugulated, the margins distant, joined
by a thick callus.

(4) GROUP OF H. TROCHALIA.

Umbilicate ; depressed, strongly carinated ; the last whorl deflexed
in front ; aperture elliptical, peristome reflexed ; surface simply
striate.

The following species has been placed in Geotrochus by Pfeiffer,
in Ampelitaby Tryon, and in Planispira by Nevill. It seems to me
to be closely allied to H. gabata Gld., merguiensis Phil., etc., species
belonging very close to Trachia, and probably to be included there-
in rather than in Plectotropis.

H. TROCIIAUA Benson. PL 18, figs. 67, 58.

descondinir to the oblique, transversely oval aperture; lip expanded,
ivil.-xed, pinkish-white, its ends approaching, the columellar termina-
tion half-concealing the umbilicus.

Tlu- convexity is about equal above and below the pinched-out
keel ; the earlier whorls are convex, the latter two flattened, the last
whorl being excavated just above and below the keel, and rather
abruptly deflexed in front.

Shell globose ; «aperture but little oblique, the peristome scarcely
thickened, narrowly reflexed ; columellar margin steeply ascending,
narrowed below. Unicolored, never brilliantly colored, often
hirsute.

This group should probably be regarded as a section of the genus
or subgenus Chloritis. This view of its position is that taken by H.
Adams and Tapparone Canefri. Von Martens, however, expresses
the opinion that its affinities are with the Philippine Island group
Cochlostyla (s. lat.) ; and he is followed by Pfeiffer, who places
Albersia at the end of the Helices between Acavus and Axina.

Albersia is herein accepted in the restricted sense as it is under-
stood by Pfeiffer. H. najas, H. extensa and H. obliquata have also
been included by some authors, but they are not separable concho-
logically from the section Corasia of Cochlostyla.

COCHLOSTYLA includes Cklorcea, Corasia, Axina, Pfeifferia, Calo-
cocldia, Helicostyla, Orustia, Cochlodryas, Orthostylus, Helicobulimus,
Ptychostyliis, Pkengus, Eudoxus, Hypselostyla, Canistrum, Prochilus,
Chrysallis, Phoenicobius.

Shell varying from depressed, Helicoid, to elongated and Bulimi-
form, usually imperforate ; rounded at the circumference or keeled;
the lip generally reflexed (rarely simple and acute) ; usually covered
with a thin, transparent cuticle, often porous in places, when it be-
comes white and opaque, producing the " hydrophanous ': patterns
with which most of the species are ornamented.

The species are with few exceptions confined to the Philippine
Archipelago. They are mainly arboreal in habit.

The species, however diverse in form of the shell, agree in
anatomy. There are no accessory appendages to the male genital
system ; the female system has a single mucus gland, globular or
oval in shape, which combines with the sac of the simple stylet-
formed dart. The duct of the receptaculum seminis is long. The
jaw has strong ribs.

Diverse as the shells assembled in this genus at first appear, it is
without doubt a perfectly natural group. The extreme forms are so
closely connected by intermediate species that no satisfactory groups
of subgeneric rank can be defined.

The system of sections or groups briefly sketched by v. Martens
(Ostas. Zool., p. 96), and improved by Semper (Phil. Archip. Land-
nioll.) is in my opinion the most natural yet proposed. I have,
therefore, in the following pages followed the same general arrange-
ment and sequence of groups; but not without modifying them
materially as to contents and limits, and adding several groups to
the already large number. In the system herein set forth, the species

COCHLOSTYLA-CHLOR^EA. 93

are divided into twenty sections, the series beginning with the de-
pressed, and ending with the elongated species. A table exhibiting
the characters of the sections will conclude the account of the
species.

The principal special authorities consulted on the Philippine
Island fauna are :

Dr. C. Semper, Reisen im Archipelder Philippinen, vol. iii, Land-
mollusken.

We are indebted to Semper for a vast amount of information on
the distribution as well as the anatomy of Philippine land snails.

Of Sr. Hidalgo's Estudios, etc., only 160 pages, 30 plates, have as
yet (Sept., 1891) been published, containing of the genus Coclilostyla
only Corasia, Axina and part of Chlorcea. This magnificent work
will when completed, leave little to be desired as far as the illustra-
tion of the shells is concerned. The text is of equal merit, being
characterized by a broad conservatism, and excellent judgment in
the treatment of species.

p. 169, (type H. sirena Beck). — SEMPER, Reis. Archip. Phil., Land-
moll., p. 226, (in part.)

Imperforate, varying from depressed-globose to lens-shaped,
generally solid ; whorls 4-5, the last descending or not ; lip decidedly
reflexed, at least below. Entire surface showing under a lens
excessively fine, close spiral lines; lacking hydrophanous patches on
the cuticle.

Anatomy as in Cochlostyla generally, except that the simple
mucus gland is aciniform, not globular. C. sirena has a short
flagellum on the penis.

94 COCHLOSTYLA-CHLOR^EA.

Heliciform shells, distinguished at once from the closely allied
section Corasia by the excessively close, fine spiral striation covering
the whole surface both above and below, except the smooth apical
embryonic whorl. These snails live on trees, like Corasia and most
other Cochlostylas.

The present group is equivalent to Semper's " Gruppe der bunt-
schaligen Chlorceen" His " Gruppe der einfarbigen Chlorceen" con-
sists of species of Dorcasia. They differ from the true Chlorcea
species in having a compound mucus gland (" multifid gland "), com-
posed of several acinose caeca, whilst that gland in Chlorcea, as in
all Cochlostyla, is simple ; the shells also are notably different.

The species of Chlorcea fall into four groups, as follows :

A. Latter half of the body-whorl in no part narrower than the
adjacent part of the preceding whorl, viewed from above.

1. Solid, keeled or rounded, usually banded. Group of C. fibula.

2. Thin, acutely keeled; greenish, often banded.

Group of C. dry ope.

B. Latter half of the body-whorl narrower in some part than the
preceding whorl, viewed from above.

3. Last ivhorl not acutely keeled, descending in front.

Group of C. paradoxa.
2. Last whorl acutely keeled, not descending in front.

Group of C. thersites.

(1) GROUP OF C. FIBULA.

Solid, varying from depressed-globose to lens-shaped, carinated
or rounded at the periphery, the last whorl circular in circumfer-
ence, not laterally flattened on its latter half; descending in front;
lip thickened and reflexed ; usually banded.

These shells are more solid than in the closely allied group of C.
dryope ; they do not have the last whorl compressed at the periphery
as in the group of C. paradoxa.

Imperforate, depressed, solid, the entire circumference acutely
carinated ; white or pale yellowish, generally three-banded ; a broad
purplish-brown band below and another above the periphery, the
latter ascending the spire in company with a narrow dark line border-
ing the lower edge of the suture.

COCHLOSTYLA-CHLOR.EA. 95

The shell is about equally ccmvex above and below; whorls 4-4J,
the last abruptly descending in front, and a little constricted behind
the lip. Surface very finely, spirally striated. Aperture very
oblique ; peristome white, narrowly expanded above, reflexed below ;
columellar margin adnate. Alt. 11, diam. 20 mill.

This is a larger species then C. hanleyi, and the whorl is less de-
flexed in front. Some forms of C. hugeli approach it, but they are
less acutely keeled behind the lip, and differ in coloring. Hidalgo
describes the following color-varieties :

1. Whitish or whitish-yellow, unifasciate above and below.

2. No band beneath.

3. Smaller; white, not banded. From Marinduque (pi. 21, fig.
33.)

4. Chestnut colored above, with a white peripheral band continu-
ing up the spire above the suture; base 4-zoned, the two coliimellar
zones tawny, outer paler, the third zone chestnut, the peripheral zone
white (pi. 21, figs. 31, 32.)

5. Buff, not banded below. Island of Lubang.

C. HANLEYI Pfeiffer. PI. 22, figs. 24, 25, 26, 27, 28.

Imperforate, depressed, solid, acutely carinated; light greenish-
yellow, a band at the carina and a border below the suture opaque
white. Last whorl very deeply deflexed in front, the aperture nearly
horizontal.

The shell is about equally convex above and below; surface
microscopically striate spirally. Whorls 4, flat, the entire circum-
ference of the last whorl acutely carinated. Aperture small, oval,
subhorizontal ; the peristome white, reflexed, its terminations
approaching. Alt. 9, diam. 17 mill.

In the typical C. hanleyi (pi. 22, figs. 24-26) the whorl is very
deeply deflexetl in front, the suture and carina are bordered below
with white. There are no other bands on the pale greenish-yellow
ground-color.

REKVK, Icon., f. 136c. — (7. (Chlorcea) hanleyi var. C. HIDALGO,
Obras Malacol. i, p. 158, t. 25, f. 10.

The name proposed for this species by Lea in 1841, is not pre-
occupied in Cochlostyla, and it should probably be adopted.

A variation of this form (pi. 22, fig. 15) has three narrow brown
bands ; one below, another above the periphery, and the third closely
bordering the suture below. The basal band is sometimes lacking
in this color-variety. Pfeiffer's figs. 11, 12, of pi. 69, Conchyl. Cab.,
represent this form.

Hidalgo believes that Pfeiffer confused two forms under the name
lltlfjeli; and considers the figures 10 and 14 to represent the true
hi'ir/eli, of which he considers Semper's C. antonii a synonym. In
this view I am unable to concur. Pfeiffer's fig. 10 is reproduced on
my pi. 22, fig. 20.

C. I;I:N<;I:ETENSIS Semper. PL 21, figs. 23, 24, 25.

chestnut line at the suture; spire little elevated; whorls 4, rather
flattened, the last deflexed and constricted in front. Aperture large,
aubhorizontal, angular-elliptical; peristome simple, margins remote,
the upper margin slightly expanded, basal margin reflexed.

The color-mutations recorded by Hidalgo are as follows :

1. (Typical). Whitish, with a chestnut sutural line and a buff
band above the periphery (figs. 23, 24.)

2. Unicolored, white.

3. Pale straw-colored, with a narrow white peripheral band, nar-
rowly bordered above and below with green, (fig. 25.)

" The second and third varieties have much similarity to C. hanleyi
and its variety bifasciata Lea, but they have the aperture more
produced transversely, the peristome narrower, and the last whorl
more inflated, around the basal margin of the peristome, as it is in
typical benguetensis, of which I, therefore, consider them varieties."

the whorl less deflexed toward the aperture, and the more prominent
callus or wid«- tooth in the middle of the baso-columellar lip. The
lip is more broadly reflexed than in C. undina, and the columella
-traiirliter, more thickened within.

Form immaculata (pi. LM, figs. 27, 28). Whitish, without dark
Bpota at apex and eoluinella, the aperture yellow within.

Imperforate, globose-depressed, solid not carinated ; yellow-white,
the apex white, body-whorl encircled by two chestnut-brown zones, one
above, the other below the rounded periphery, the upper one ascend-
ing the spire ; lip white or yellow within ; baso-columellar lip
straightened, thickened, not toothed within.

Spire rather elevated, apex obtuse ; whorls 4£, the last deeply de-

upper termination of the lip, broadly constricted behind the lip.
Surface obliquely striatulate, microscopically, densely, spirally,
striated. Aperture very oblique, oval-triangular ; lip very broadly
reflexed ; baso-columellar lip adnate, wide, thickened within, but
without a callus or tooth in the middle.

COCHLOSTYLA-CORASIA. 105

Heliciform, depressed thin Cochlostylas, lacking hydro phanous
bands, and with the expansion of the lip narrow, compose the section
Corasia. They are arboreal in habits.

*

Here may be grouped all of the species of Cochlostyla ranging
outside of the Philippine Islands ; including the group of H. hunteri,
tricolor and their allies, of the Solomon Islands, a portion of which
have hitherto been referred erroneously to Geotrochus by PfeifFer
and other authors.

Like all of the sectional groups which have been established in
Cochlostyla, this section is not well differentiated from several others.
Through the group of C. regince a connection with the section
ChlorcBa ( C. dryope, paradoxa, etc.) is established ; and again such
species as C. intorta lead toward the section Callicochlias. In a
general way, however, Chlorcea differs from Corasia in its deflexed
body-whorl, wide lip, and the frequent presence of apical and col-
umellar dark spots ; and Callicochlias differs in its more globose
form, wider lip and the presence of " hydrophanous" cuticle.

The species may be thrown into four groups ;

1. Group of C. lactiflua, Solomon Is.

2. Group of C. extensa, Moluccas and New Guinea.

3. Group of C. regince, Philippines.

4. Group of C. virgo, Philippines.

(1) GROUP OF C. LACTIFLUA.

Thin shells of glassy texture, light colored, usually translucent-
whitish, sometimes varied with brown. Axis perforate or closed ;
form varying from globose-turbinate to depressed, the periphery
carinated ; apex obtuse ; whorls 3 J-5. Surface generally showing
spiral stride. Lip reflexed, at least below. Distribution, Solomons
and some adjacent islands.

The shell characters given above define a natural group, the
various species of which have heretofore been distributed by authors
in Geolrochus and Corasia.

Mr. C. F. Ancey has proposed as a genus or subgenus the name
Crystallopsis for H. hunteri and H. a Ulster i ; but the characters he
assigns do not cover the group as here understood.

C. HUNTERI Cox. PI. 13, figs. 41, 44, 45.

inclined to believe the shell specifically distinct. The young have
no brown markings save a small eolumellar spot.

The bright bluish-green hue of this species distinguishes it for
beauty, even in this genus where vividly colored shells are the rule.
The typical regince has the apical whorls white, and the periphery
has no bands. I am disposed to follow Hidalgo in considering the
following two forms geographic varieties rather than distinct species.

1^4 COCHLOSTYLA-CORASIA.

The above description, mainly taken from Pfeiffer, corresponds
well with the specimens before me, two of which are figured on my

plate.

The surface is almost devoid of spiral stria? ; the shell is entirely
white, fresh speciim-ns having a very delicate greenish tint, scarcely
perceptible. It is smaller and less solid than C. cegrota, and the
peripheral angle is more obvious ; to C. eydouxi it is very closely
allied, but it lacks the constant sutural brown line characteristic of
that species.

C. .EiiROTA Reeve. PI. 26, fig. 1.

Imperforate, depressed-globose, smooth, white or of a very delicate
greenish tint; surface shining very delicately striatulate, showing
slight traces of subobsolete spiral lines on the earlier whorls. Spire
low, convex, apex plane ; whorls 4£, the last very obtusely sub-
angular at the periphery ; aperture oblique, wide ; peristome white,
narrowly reflexed, the columellar margin dilated and adnate ; col-
umella nearly vertical, its inner edge straight, forming a slight angle
with the basal lip at their junction.

The yellowish-green tint of this shell is so delicate as to be scarcely
perceptible. The apex and lip are pure white. It is more solid and
stronger than C. eydouxi or C. virgo and its immediate allies.
The angulation of the periphery is scarcely sufficiently marked to be
noticeable.

sliming, waxen-white with two reddish-brown zones, one at periphery,
the other at the suture ; the suture opaque, white, irregularly sub-
crenulated. Whorls 4, convex, depressed above, the last moder-
at'-ly inflated; columella obliquely descending, flattened, acute,

Im perforate, globose-depressed, thin, rounded at the periphery;
typically light straw-colored with peripheral, basal and sutural bands
of chestnut brown ; (see below). Surface smooth, having light
growth-lines, and on the earlier whorls spiral striae are visible under
a lens. Apex flattened, polished, white, brown, pink or purple.
Suture linear, margined by a white line. Whorls 4-4}, the last
very little descending. Aperture broad, rounded-lunar, oblique ;

The form and elevation of the spire vary in this beautiful species,
as the measurements and figures show. Specimens having an obtuse
peripheral carina also occur. The principal color-forms are as
follows :

]:>»> COCHLOSTYLA-CORASIA.

1. Ground color yellowish, bands three, distinct, not spreading on
the latter part of the whorl.

'2. Ground color yellowish, no bauds.

3. Ground color light-brown below, whitish above, bauds three,
dark-chestnut.

4. Chestnut colored, with darker bands ; apex purple.

5. Delicate light-greenish, with a subsutural and a peripheral
purple-brown baud, the bands spreading over the entire whorl on its
latter portion.

6. Delicate greenish-white, peripheral and sutural bands present,

but narrow.

v. Mollendorff describes the following varieties:

1. var. tennis v. Moll. Thin shelled, with a narrow brown sutural
baud, a wider brown peripheral band, and a narrow vertical brown
streak behind the blackish-brown lip, to which the spiral bands

extend.

j\R. Mangilao.

2. Var. expansilabris v. Moll. Spire more depressed ; shell white,
-Inning, the periphery distinctly angulated, without peripheral band ;
sutural band evanescent ; lip more expanded, upper margin at first
horizontal, then well curved.

Mts. Uling and Licos, Zebu.

This is the Cochlostyla (Corasia) virgo var. subglobosaof v. Moll.,
Mai. Bl. (X. F.) x, p. 161.

3. Yaf. craxsa v. Moll. Shell smaller than the type, more solid,
>pire more depressed ; whorls 4 (uot4£) ; white under the deciduous
epidermis, with narrow sutural and broad peripheral bauds, widening
and confluent toward the aperture; peristome thickened, little ex-
panded, white; aperture brown inside.

C. LIMANSAUENSIS Semper. PL 28, figs. 25, 26.

Imperforate, globose or globose-depressed, papery, very diapha-
nous, whitish or cinnamon colored, having a brown band at the
periphery; suture usually manrined with rufous in the earlier
whorls; whorls 4, the upper depressed, last very convex, inflated
beneath; rolinm-lla whitish, nearly straight; aperture nearly tri-
angular; peristome simple, rufous within, scarcely inflexed.

149, t. 21, f. 7.

Very closely allied to C. intorta, but thin as paper, lacking com-
pletely a basal brown tract, having an almost vertical columella,
and of larger size. Like all other Cochlostylas it lives upon trees
near the beach, the leaves of which it twists into a bag for the
reception of its eggs. It is the only species of Cochlostyla found by
Semper on the island Limansaua. Hidalgo doubts its distinctness
from C. intorta.

C. BOURDILLONII Theobald. PI. 33, fig. 55.

Shell conoid, covered-perforate, carinated, thin, polished, whitish,
translucent ; ornamented under the deciduous, pale straw-colored
cuticle with very fine flexuous spiral lines. Whorls 4J, rapidly
increasing, a little convex toward the mamillate apex, but the last
whorl flat above, and a little inflated around the umbilicus. Aper-
ture large, subquadrate; margins simple, joined by a very thin
callus. Alt. 14'8, gr. diam. 25*4, lesser 19'5 mill. ; apert. alt. 16,

Judging from the sharp lip, as well as the locality, this is no
Corasia. It may prove to be a Nanina. In the absence of certain
information it may as well remain where first described for the
present.

Shell globose, imperforate, the slender axis solid, thin, brittle,
white, with few whorls ; aperture lunar, lip thin, acute, fragile ;
columella slightly thickened, vertical, deeply inserted in the base.

Animal like Cochlostyla, but the mantle reflexed over the acute

micans GRAY, P. Z. S. 1853, p. 110. — Cochlostyla micans SEMPER,
Reis. Archip. Phil. Landmoll. p. 225.

The thin fragile lip of this species separates it at once from all
other forms of Cochlostyla.

Semper describes the animal of this interesting species as follows:
The border of the mantle-edge all around, in the contracted speci-
mens, covers about 1-2 mm. of the shell. On the left there is a
-mall mantle-lappet, but none on the right.

The foot is broad, flat, without mucus-gland and without middle
area to the sole.

The color of the mantle in the region of the lung is greenish ; the
foot and mantle-margin are yellowish.

The right tentacle passes with its retractor muscle, between the
branches of the genitalia, an exception to the rule in Cochlostyla.
The genitalia are just as in Cochlostyla. The receptaculum semi-
nis has a long duct, without diverticulum. The dart-sac is globu-
lar, thick ; and on the base of the short globule (or mucus) gland
there is a small sac, apparently a gland. The vas deferens is wide,
and parses gradually into the simple penis, which lacks all acces-
sory LI lands ; the retractor penis is short and thick.

The jaw has numerous (about 8) pretty wide and close ribs, pro-
jecting on the cutting edge.

The radula is entirely typical of Cochlostyla; the central tooth
has a broad cusp ; there are fourteen or fifteen side-teeth or true
lateral- ; al ready the eighteenth tooth being distinctly tricuspid. In
all there are 101 teeth in each transverse row.

COCHLOSTYLA-LEYTIA-CALOCOCHLEA. 129

Section IV. LEYTIA Pilsbry.

Tin perforate, globose, thin ; whorls few (4), the last angulated at
the periphery. Aperture very large, lip simple, a little expanded
below ; columella simple, thin, vertical, deeply inserted. Surface
spirally striate, having hydrophanous, cream-white bands.

This section differs from Calocochlea in its thin, bubble-like shell,
composed of few whorls ; from Corasia in the possession of hydro-
phanous cuticle, and the globose contour. The anatomy has not
been investigated.

C. FRAGILTS Sowerby. PI. 29, figs. 5, 6.

Imperforate, globose, thin ; light blue-green above the periphery,
becoming pinkish-white on the spire, the last whorl having numer-
ous narrow interrupted white bands; below the periphery dark
green, with two broad straw-colored zones and numerous narrow,
broken, whitish lines ; lighter around the center of the base. Sur-
face finely spirally striated, obliquely striatulate. AVhorls 4, the
apex minute, obtuse, brown ; last whorl angulated, not descending
in front. Aperture large, oblique ; peristome white.

Under Calocochlea must be placed Axina and a number of other
groups which stand too close to one another to be separated as pri-
mary divisions of Cochlostyla, although they have a certain systematic

value.

1 30 COCHLOSTYLA-CALOCOCHLEA.

As subsections of r.ihcochlea, therefore, we may range the follow-
ing groups:

Subsection 1. CALOCOCHLEA Hartm., 1840.

Subglobose or globose-depressed, the periphery rounded. Surface
with oblique light growth-lines, and on the whorls of the spire, fine
spirals, often subobsolete ; hydrophanous cuticle generally present.
Type, ( '. pukherrima.
Subsection 2. AXINA Albers, 1850.

Varying from globose-turbinate to carinated and lens-shaped ;
solid, dark-colored ; hydrophanous cuticle present. Surface totally
lacking spiral stria1. Type, 0. zebuensis.

Subsection 3. TRACHYSTYLA Pilsbry.

Solid, globose-depressed, dark colored, with a thin ashen hydro-
phanous cuticle ; surface rough and lusterless. Whorls few. Type,
C. crypt ica.

Subsection 1. CALOCOCHLEA Hartm.

Includes Semper's " 3 Gruppe, Calliocochlias Ag." and "4 Gruppe>
Cochlottylu' hypomelanice Mts."

(1.) Group of C. cromyodes.

Globose or globose depressed shells, thin rather than solid, yellow
or reddish, not conspicuously marked with hydrophanous cuticle,
and frequently lacking it entirely.

These shells connect the ('. intorta group of Corasia with Cah-
cochle<i. The dividing line is extremely difficult to locate, but still
there is some difference, as these shells have a wider lip, and gener-
ally have more or less hydrophanous cuticle, — characters not found
in

( '. . ROMYODES Pfeifier. PI. 2!>, figs. 13, 14, 15, 16.

Imprrf'orate, rather thin, depressed-globose. Surface microscop-
ically spirally striate, having light growth-lines. Color varying
from greenish-yellow to reddish-brown, the upper whorls purple, edged
\\ith darker purple. Hydrophanous cuticle either absent or form-
in- hand- at suture and periphery, with narrower intervening bands
or line-.

COCHLOSTYLA-CALOCOCHLEA. 131

Some specimens show a faint peripheral dark band, and rarely
a dark band is developed around the columella. Numerous narrow
hydrophanous bands are seen on some specimens.

C. DENTICULATA Jay. PI. 52, figs. 17, 18, 19.

Imperforate, depressed-globose, decidedly solid. Surface smooth
the growth lines inconspicuous. Color a light brown tint, the spire
white, having a dark brown margin above the suture.

Spire very low, apical whorl plane. Suture superficial. Whorls
4, the last wide, slightly descending and then ascending in front.
Aperture oblique, white within ; lip rather thick, reflexed, edged
with dark brown. Columella very oblique, wide, white, ending be-
low in a stout tooth. Alt. 25, greater diam. 34, lesser 29 mill.

The above description and the figures are from Jay's type speci-
men, kindly loaned by Prof. R. P. Whitfield, of the American
Museum of Natural History, New York City.

The shell is decidedly solid ; the columella is wide, its face gently
convex, its base strongly toothed, much as in C. curia Sowerby.
The cuticle is wholly worn from the specimen, but under the very
thin parietal callus it is seen to be of the yellow color of that of C.
cromyodes, a species also resembling denticulata very closely in con-
tour, in the suprasutural margination of the spire whorls, in the
appearance of the surface, and the dark-edged lip. From C.
cromyodes, the present species differs only in being more solid, in the

(2.) Group of C. pulcherrima.

C. PULCHERRIMA Sowerby. PL 33, figs. 60-64.

Imperforate, globose, somewhat depressed, generally solid ;
ground-color uniform, varying from buff or cream-color to a dark
chestnut-maroon ; sometimes unicolored, apparently without any
hydrophanous markings whatever, but generally encircled by nu-
merous white or creamy bands which are closely articulated or
broken into dots and spots.

( '< >CHLOSTYLA-CALOCOCHLEA.

The surface is nearly smooth. Whorls 5, the last one scarcely

The ground-color is extremely variable, every shade between
light buff or light olive-green and deep maroon being represented.
It is nearly uniform in tint, becoming pink on the earlier whorls in
most specimens. In about one-third of the specimens before me
there is a narrow dark band bordering the columella, generally not
very distinct. In any of the color-forms, from light to dark, bands
of close spots of hydrophanous cuticle are frequently developed.

This species has less variegated cuticle than C. pulcherrima and
the white equatorial zone is conspicuous. The lip is heavier than in
pulcherrima ; its face is typically pink, but many specimens have a
pure white lip and columella.

periphery. Covered with a cream-white hydrophanous cuticle,
which is cut into a great number of very fine lines by fine close darker
spiral lines.

The surface is finely spirally striated. Whorls 4A, the last a lit-

and the excessively fine and numerous lines of hydrophanous cuti-
cle of the exterior.

Hidalgo believes the H. batanica (+ volubilis) of Reeve to be a
distinct species. I am unable, with the material. before me, to make
the separation, but still it may exist. Reeve's figure of batanica is
copied on my plate 32. fig. 53.

I have examined the type of Helix speciosa Jay, now in the
American Museum of Natural History, Central Park, New York
( 'ity. It is a typical C. diibiosa. The name speciosa has priority
nver dubiosa, but as Jay's description and figure have been demon-
strated to be utterly inadequate by the failure of Pfeiffer and others
to identify the species correctly, its rehabilitation as a specific name
would be obviously contrary to the recognized canons of nomencla-
ture.

The typical form is thin, translucent, sometimes with, sometimes
without the narrow chestnut bands. A brownish tract surrounds
the white columella, and the reflexed peristome is brownish-black.
Upon all 3 examples there is a wide whitish and lacerated band at
the periphery, formed of the otherwise inconspicuous hydrophanous
cuticle. ($.)

Hidalgo describes three color-varieties:

1. Shell chestnut, unicolored (pi. 54, fig. 42.)

2. Shell tawny, columellar area and suture brov\7n.

3. Like the last, but periphery with a chestnut band (pi. 54, fig.
41.)

S.-mper considered the following form a variety, but Hidalgo says
that it does not belong to the same species.

In color and markings it approaches C. depressa Semp. and we-

resembles most C. sphcerion Sow7. The non-expanded, weakly
thickened peristome distinguishes it from all the foregoing, being
found only in C. suprabqdia Semp. The white peripheral band is
lacking on none of the ten examples before me, whilst the circum-
umbilical is present upon four only. The height of the spire varies,

Broderip and authors having included two species under the name
zebuensis, it becomes necessary to select one for the type. The pub-
lished figures all represent the variegated form with smooth epider-
mis, and that may, therefore, retain the name zebuensis.

The range of variation is considerable in size as well as in color-
ing. Figs. 5, 6 of plate 20 represents the largest specimen I have

This species was originally described from specimens denuded of
their hydrophanous cuticle. The original figures, copied on my pi.
41, figs. 17-19, represent them in this condition. A more satisfac-
tory illustration is pi. 57, fig. 76.

From C. pfeifferi it is constantly and readily distinguished by the
more narrowly revolving whorls seen from above, and the more
Mvollcii base, which is far more excavated at the axis than in C.

The specimens before me, one of which is figured on pi. 41, are
not " ponderosa," nor is the aperture " intm alba" Otherwise they
correspond with Pfeiffer's diagnosis, translated above. They differ
from C. bruguieriana in being larger, somewhat more turbiuate in
contour, the hydrophanous cuticle not streaked, the columella sub-
dentate below, and the apex purple. These distinctions may prove
to be variable when more shells are examined.

in color, obliquely streaked with cream-white; the apical whorls
pink, with a darker band along the suture.

Surface smooth ; cuticle removed around the columella and in
front of the mouth, exposing the dark brown ground-color. Whorls
5, somewhat convex, the last not descending in front, or but slightly,
rounded at the periphery, or more rarely very obtusely subangular,.
convex beneath. Aperture wide semi-lunar, purplish-pink inside;

More elevated than the other forms of Axina, and usually quite
rounded ac the periphery. It is very difficult to draw the line be-
tween Axina bruguieriana and Calocochlea roissyana, etc., but still,
what little difference there is seems to be in favor of placing brugui-
eriana in the present group.

The preceding species is doubtfully distinct, but differs in being
larger, with less streaked cuticle and purple apex.

The very obliquely placed aperture, with the upper lip strongly

Section VII. HELICOSTYLA Ferussac, 1819.

As used here, this section comprises a number of minor groups,
too closely allied to be given separate rank as primary sections.

The shells have generally a more elevated contour than those in-
cluded in Calocochlea, and usually they lack hydrophauous cuticle
and spiral strise.

It must freely be admitted that the differences between this group
and Calocochlea are not definite enough to permit one to frame
diagnoses of any practical value. In the arrangement of the spe-
cies no two authors agree in detail, thi? diversity of opinion being
the natural result of the indiscriminate inosculation of characters
shown by the shells themselves.

having a more broadly reflexed lip and probably never having
exactty the same color-patterns as that species. On many specimens
there are scattered dots of a pale or purplish tint (fig. 98.)

All of the specimens I have seen, over 30 in number, maybe
referred to the following three color-varieties :

(1) Var. heterotwniata. Shell very solid, light buff, having a
supra-peripheral yellow band and a subsutural pink band ; a streak
back of the broadly reflexed lip, and a circum-columellar patch
pink. Both of the bands are sometimes yellow. The apex is pink.

(2) Var. xanthotceniata. Shell thinner ; lip much narrower, thin ;
pale yellow, having subsutural and peripheral bands of yellow. No
streak behind the lip, no columellar patch. The apex is white.

(3) Var. intensior (fig. 100.) Shell solid, lip wide ; ground-color
olive-brown or purplish-brown ; light bands at periphery and suture,
darker bands in the usual positions, sometimes obsolete on the body-
whorl. Apex purple.

Shdl imperforate, turbinate-globose, rather thin, green under a
iilmnnus yellow cuticle, the base green. Lip thin, narrowly
reflexed; culumella vertical, deeply entering; the umbilico-colu-
iin-llar tract notably concave, covered with a white callus. Surface
wholly free from spiral sculpture.

Anatomy as in Cochlostyla generally.

The entire absence of spiral sculpture and the presence of hy-
tlrophanous cuticle are the more important characters of the sub-
trochiform, thin-lipped species to which the name Orustia is restricted
by recent authorities.

Imperforate, globose turbinate, rather thin, lightly obliquely stri-
at u late. Upper surface rich yellow and cream-colored, fading into
white on the earlier whorls through loss of the cuticle ; periphery
girdled by a dark brown band, below which is a wider yellow band ;
ki-c bright green.

There is no trace of spiral sculpture. The hydrophanous cuticle
is rich yellow, sometimes almost orange, on the last whorl,
In •coming lighter above, and lost by erosion on the earlier whorls.
The dark girdle at the circumference is constant throughout the
lar-v x-rios which I have examined. There are 5 slightly convex
\\horU, the last not deflexed in front, not angled at the periphery,
although the base is rather flattened. The apex is quite obtuse.
Aperture oblique, half-round, white within, faintly showing the brown
band. The lip is very narrowly subreflexed, white; columellasub-

COCHLOSTYLA-COCHLODRYAS. 177

Easily recognized by the yellowish upper surface, banded with
brown at the circumference, and bright green base.

Of this species Semper says: I found this species exclusively in
the wide valley of the Rio Grande de Cagayan, in northern Luzon ;
and as well at the village Aparri, hard by the valley's mouth, as in
the upper mountainous course, on the western side of the eastern
Cordillera, in the valleys of the rivers Ilagon and Catalangan, at
Satpat, Ilagan and Minanga. The shell varies much . . . One
example from Ilagan before me is entirely green, with a sulphur-
yellow band at the periphery. Another from Satpat has a second
broad brown band upon the upper surface, and the periphery is
girdled by two narrow dark yellow bands, strongly contrasted with
the clear yellow of the upper surface. The colors of the shell fade
very readily. I suspect that Pfeiffer's vat: ft having a white shell,
is founded upon a bleached example.

The anatomy is as in typical Gochlostyla.

The shell agrees with C.florida and C. polychroa in possessing a
white margin below the suture, but it is much more compact and
solid than either of these species. It is a more solid shell than C.
tenera.

The coloring is very variable. There are generally (?) two chest-
nut-brown bands, one of which ascends the spire, but these are often
lacking on the body-whorl. The green may either cover most of
the body-whorl, or be restricted to a narrow band or two.

A globose shell, generally a little higher than broad, and
excessively variable in both contour and pattern of coloring. The
surfu<v i- "ttni somewhat malleated. The ground-color varies from
:1 v-rv li-ht buff to a yellowish-brown. It is allied to C. fulgens,
dirt'ei-ini: mainly in the pattern of coloring.

Sliirht traces of whitish hydrophanous cuticle are observable near
the suture in some specimens.

Tin- principal varieties of banding are these:

(1.) Unicolored yellow; the earlier whorls white or having a
l-m-plc supra-sutural band (fig.85). The earlier whorls are some-
times pink.

(2.) Yellow or buff, with a narrow sutural brown line, a sub-
peripheral brown band, and a columellar patch. There are some-
times numerous yellow lines also (fig. 79.)

(3.) Yellow or yellowish-brown, with 4 wide or narrow bands,
'•Hi- columellar, another sutural, with two intermediate. This is the
c'Uiinionest pattern (figs. 81, 86.)

The spe -'linen figured is from Albay, Philippines. The figure on
pi. ill is united by error with that of C. tephrodes, below it.

Another deviation has the three brown or yellowish-brown bands,
but no blackish hands (pi. ~>7, fig. 87).

A very lari_re series of these transition forms is before me.

This is typically quite distinct in coloring from C. mirabilis, but

me. That it is idle to attempt to draw specific lines in such a case,
I am convinced by the examination of a large suite of shells.

Specimens of this species received through the kindness of MR.
J. H. THOMSON are before me. The surface where the cuticle is re-
moved, is opaque-white, faintly tinted with pink. The cuticle is
straw-yellow, \vith a narrow sutural brown line, extending both
above and below the actual suture, the portion above the suture be-
coming more prominent upward, and extending to the apex. At
the periphery there is a brown line, scarcely visible on one speci-
men before me, the same specimen lacking the columellar dark
tract, which is quite large on the other shell, of a purple-brown
color, and staining the greater part of the columella. There is a
very thin coat of hydrophanous cuticle above, with some slightly
more distinct creamy spiral lines. Below the periphery there is a
wide cream-white zone, and the base shows a number of narrow
bands of the same tint.

COCHLOSTYLA-HELICOSTYLA. 191

The contour of this species throws it into the group of C. meta-

formis. In the case of this, as well as the other Australasian species

of Cochlostyla, it is highly desirable that the genitalia be examined.

(4). Group of C. fenestrata.

The shell in this group is notably compact and solid, showing close,
fine spiral strise under a lens ; and hydrophanous cuticle is present.
The mouth is rather small, the outer lip decidedly thickened within with
white callus; the columella is pure white, and decidedly thick, often
truncated at base.

The limits of this group are doubtful, v. Mollendorff including in
it C. bruguieriana, crossei, roissyana, fuliginata, montana, curta,
fenestrata, sollda, dimera, jonasi. A careful study of the whole
matter has inclined me to believe that bruguieriana cannot well be
sundered from carbonaria and other species of Axina, and I am not
certain that solida and crossei should not also be included there.
C. roissyana and dimera had better be left in the Cochlostylce hypo-
melanice. Mollendorff's citation of C. jonasi in this connection is
evidently due to Pfeiffer's mistaken reference in the Monographic,
to the figures of the plate in Kiister, the figures of dimera being
given in error. On the other hand, I feel impelled to place in the
present group a number of shells heretofore classed under Ortho-
stylus, such as C. leucophcea and C. mus; but until the entire group
can be studied in the light of a greater mass of material we will not
be able to speak definitely upon these obscure group relations.

COOHLOSTYLA-PTYCHOSTYLUS. 193

I have not seen the typical CURTA (pi. 37, figs. 47, 48), which has

a light buff ground-color, the cuticle being pale above, brown below.

The shell called B. dilatatus bv Reeve has the ground-color almost

*• o

black, becoming rufous or yellow above, the lip dark-edged.

The variety ft of Hidalgo, as well as the specimens before me,
one of which is shown in fig. 15, are the same as the form called B.
dilatatus by Reeve. While I am wholly disposed to consider these
shells the same as Pfeiffer's dilatatus, it should be mentioned that
Hidalgo has reached an opposite conclusion, from a study of
Pfeiffer's figures. The suite before me shows very great variations
in the degree of development of the columellar tooth, it being in
some examples scarcely noticeably truncated.

I am wholly inclined to consider this a mere variety of C. curta,
founded upon a specimen denuded of hydrophanous cuticle, except
for a band remaining below the suture on the last whorl. In case
my supposition is correct, the name dilatatus may be retained in a
varietal sense for all specimens of C. curta having a dark ground-
color, including Reeve's dilatatus.

194 COCHLOSTYLA-HELICOBULINUS.

The single species contained in this group has an aspect very
different from the usual types of Cochlostyla. There are certain
forms of C. grandis Pfr., however, which present an approach to the
peculiar features of C. cepoides, especially in the short, twisted col-
umella and the numerous whorls.

and Mollendorff are right in considering it a Cochlostyla.

This section, while closely allied to Orthostylus, presents affinities
with BO many groups that it must be regarded as an intermediate or
synthetic type. Through C. grandis it approaches the section

COCHLOSTYLA-HELICOBULINUS. 195

Ptychostylus ; through certain depressed forms of C. turgens it ap-
proaches C. harfordii and other allied species of Calocochlea ; and
on the other hand, it is difficult to so diagnose Helicobulinus that
all species of Orthostylus will be excluded.

The several species of Helicobulinus are, however, more nearly
related to each other than the various forms are to any of these
diverse groups, so that despite several atttempts by various authors
to dismember the section, it is likely to maintain its integrity
permanently.

This magnificent species may be known at once by its very short
columella. It varies greatly in contour, the height of the spire and
the number of whorls being unusually mutable. Semper is disposed
to include " Bulimus " lignarius Pfr. with grandis, but the material
before me, of both species, causes me to believe them entirely
distinct.

pelled to unite the species, as Pfeiffer at one time did.

The present section is generally considered the typical group
of Cochlostyla. It is allied to the section Helicobulinus, which
consists of more inflated shells, and to the section Hypselostyla, con-
taining more elongated forms. The limits of Orthostylus are not
easy to determine, as there are species almost or entirely interme-
diate between this group and Helicostyla, as well as forms connect-
ing with Hypselostyla.

The typical C. pithogaster is an elongated shell, covered with a
uniform dark cuticle (fig. 5). It is impossible, however, to draw a
line between the elongated forms and the short, obese forms, such as
that shown in fig. 3. The intergradation is complete. It is equally
impracticable to separate as a distinct species, the form called
philippinensis, as all stages from a uniform to a streaked cuticle are
present in the suite before me.

This species is excessively variable in the ground-color as well as
in the pattern of cuticle. The latter, however, has no zones of
greater intensity or whiteness, such as C. lignaria shows below the
periphery. The spire is notably conoidal, the narrower specimens
of typical daphnis approaching in this respect, C. imperator, a species
quite different in the form of the columella.

brownish below, disposed in very close, narrow, oblique stripes. A
fewT narrow, inconspicuous darker spirals are visible.

Less variegated than 0. daphnis, narrower in form, the spire not
so conical as that of C. daphnis, and not so acute.

Both Semper and Mollendorff believe faunus to be a variety of
daphnis, but the differences of contour are so constant throughout
the large suites of each before me, that I am still inclined to con-
sider them distinct species. There is a common form of C. daphnis
having the cuticle uniform, not variegated. A specimen of this
from Zebu is shown on pi. 42, fig. 21.

This species is allied to C. daphnis, but it is shorter, with lower,
much more obtuse spire.

The ground-color is sometimes dark below, decidedly lighter
above the periphery. The prevailing form upon the island Zebu
(figs. 26, 27) is small, with conspicuous longitudinal white stripes,
but few spiral lines or none.

The creamy subperipheral zone is a constant and leliable feature.
The peripheral angulation is scarcely noticeable in the smaller speci-
mens, such as those figured on pi. 41, and which are much more
numerous in collections than the larger form. These small speci-
mens are about the size of C. daphnis, but that species is more dis-
tinctly conical, more acute than this, and it lacks the subperipheral
creamy zone.

Semper has stated that it is difficult to distinguish the more
obviously angular forms of C. lignaria from C. grandis Pfr., and he
has therefore united the two ; but with all respect for the opinion
of the distinguished German zoologist, we must still consider these
species perfectly distinct. It is hard to even imagine a connection.

This is a magnificent species, allied to C. portei, but differing in
coloring. It is not especially related to any other species.

Lea's heretofore unquoted description in the Proc. Amer. Philos.
Soc. has indisputable priority of publication over Broderip's descrip-
tion in P. Z. S. under the name Reevii. The change of name is,
therefore, inevitable. It is surprising that so careful an author as
Pfeiffer should confound Lea's dark brown shell with the totally
diverse white species which has always been called woodianus.

I have examined Lea's type of woodiana. It is denuded
of the creamy hydrophanous cuticle, except just behind the ex-
panded lip, where it shows the characteristic banding of the species.
