324 COCHLICOPA. 



ened. Length 10, width 3 mm. One living specimen found, 

 Mt. Albem Suevicam near Hohen-Wittlingen. " Cionella 

 pfeifferi WEINL., Nachrbl. D. M. Ges. vi, 1874, p. 36, with 

 figs. Cionella lubrica var. pfeifferi WEINL., Zur Weichthier- 

 fauna der Schwabischen Alp, in Jahreshefte des Vereins fur 

 vaterl. Naturkunde in Wiirttemberg, xxxii, 1876, pp. 306, 

 311, pi. 4, f. 4.Cf. v. MARTENS, Nachrbl. 1878, p. 39.) 



The unique example was found in a mountain region where 

 normal C. lubrica 4% to 5 l / 2 mm. long is abundant. Pro- 

 fessor von Martens believes it to be a scalariform monster. 

 The figure is evidently very badly drawn. 



Var. maxima Clessin. Large, the shell as much as 7.5 mm. 

 long. Danube at Regensburg (Clessin, Nachrbl., 1908). 



Achatina lubrica var. grandis Menke, 1830, undefined and 

 without locality, but briefly referred to by Moquin-Tandon, 

 (Moll. France ii, 1855, p. 304,) as Corsican, but without 

 dimensions, may be identical. 



Var. major Beck, 1837, undefined, and of Bourguignat, 

 1864, is a similar form, as yet not sufficiently known. It is 

 thus described: Var. major Bgt. Shell a little larger [than 

 6-7 mm. long], whorls slightly more convex; around Algiers 

 and Oran, Algeria. 



Asiatic forms of Cochlicopa. 



C. liibrica will probably prove to extend over all northern. 

 Asia, south to northern and western China. In Japan the 

 specimens of C. lubrica from Garukawa near Sapporo, Yesso, 

 are quite typical in form and color. On the islands Hachijo 

 (pi. 48, fig. 31) and Nil, (fig. 32) of the Izu group, the shells 

 are of stout figure, very dark reddish-broivn, often opaque 

 or flecked with yellow specks. The oblong-conic shell meas- 

 ures length 6, diam. 2.7, aperture 2.4, or 6.1, diam. 2.9, aper- 

 ture 2.6 mm., with 5V 2 whorls. The lip is quite obtuse but it 

 has not a very distinct internal rim. This variety has been 

 named var. hachijoensis Pils. (Nautilus XVI, p. 57, Sept. 

 1902) . Fossil specimens from Kikaiga-shima in the Loochoo 

 Is. are similar to those of the islands of Izu, but a little 

 smaller, 5 to 5.8 mm. long, and of course bleached.
