76 THE NAUTILUS. 



Chloritis albolabris Pilsbry & Hirase, n. sp. 



Shell depressed, the alt. about half the diameter, but slightly con- 

 vex above, several earlier whorls being coiled in a plane, the tip of 

 the apex turning down ; umbilicate, the width of umbilicus about 

 one-fifth that of the shell, thin but moderately strong, greenish, 

 somewhat russet tinted above. Surface dull, marked with low 

 growth-wrinkles, and set with rigid, short, black-brown, tapering 

 bristles, arranged in oblique lines as usual, but in part irregularly 

 placed. On the latter part of the last whorl the bristles stand nearly 

 a half mm. apart. Whorls 4|, convex, slowly widening to the last, 

 which is fully double the width of the preceding whorl, is well 

 rounded at the periphery and beneath, and descends slowly in front. 

 Suture deeply impressed. Aperture quite oblique, widely lunate, 

 the peristome white, narrowly reflexed, thickened with a narrow rim 

 within, the ends approaching. 



Alt. 9.6, diam. 20 mm. 



Alt. 9, diam. 18 mm. 



Yaku-shima, Osumi. Types no. 83883 A. N. S. P., from no. 

 958 of Mr. Hirase's collection. 



This line Chloritis needs comparison with no other Japanese 

 species. The wide umbilicus, stiff, dark-colored bristles, and thick 

 white lip, are conspicuous features differentiating it from other forms. 

 (Albolabris, white-lipped.) 



Eulota (Aegista) kobensis var. gotoensis P. & H., n. var. 



Much smaller than kobensis, with narrower umbilicus ; whorls 5^; 

 sculpture and color as in kobensis. Aperture more nearly circular, 

 the lip thick and white, as in kobensis. Alt. 6.5, diam. 12 mm. 



Goto, Hizen. Type no. 83877 A. N. S. P., from no. 969 of Mr. 

 Hirase's collection. 



E. kobensis (Schm. & Bttg.) has hitherto been known from Awaji, 

 Setsu and Yamashiro, adjacent provinces, though the former is 

 insular. The occurrence of a race far to the southwest is therefore 

 interesting. 



Eulota (Plectotropis) omiensis var. echizenensis P. & H., n. var. 



Shell depressed, conic or low-conic above, convex beneath, um- 

 bilicate, the width of the umbilicus one-third the diameter of the 

 shell ; brown ; surface nearly lusterless, sculptured with slight and
