THE NAUTILUS. 47 



CHLORITIS EDWARDI, Gude, ascribed with some little doubt to 

 the Moluccas, is found in the Island of Ceram, where it was found by 

 the Rev. Father Le Coq d'Armanville, who lost his life in New 

 Guinea. My specimens were received from the Abb Mege, 

 Omphalutropis macromphala, Bavay (Journ. de Conch., 1905, vol. 

 liii, p. 250, figs. 9, 10, 11), is the same as 0. Qitndrasi, v. Moll., 

 and therefore becomes a synonym of the latter. The shell is from 

 the Island of Guajan (or Guam), Ladrone Islands. Von Mollen- 

 dorff s paper appears to have escaped the notice of Mr. Bavay. C.

NOTE ON DTAKIA AND PSEUDOPARTULA A recent article by 

 Lieut. -Col. H. H. Godwin Austen (Proc. Malac. Soc. Lond., vii, p. 

 93) has called my attention to the anatomical description of Dyakia 

 nasuta (Helix nasuta Metcalfe) by the same author (P. Z. S., 1891), 

 which I had OTerlooked when treating of this species in Manual of 

 Conchology, xiv, p. 12. It appears that the snail belongs to the 

 Zonitidce. There cannot be much doubt that the Sumatran and 

 Javan species forming the group Pseudopartula, and which I asso- 

 ciated with nasuta, will also be transferred to Zonitidce, since their 

 resemblance to nasuta seems too strongly marked to be adventitious.

A SYNONYM OF BRACHYPODELLA. In my monograph of Uro- 

 coptidce I overlooked the name Microstoma hanleyannm Jousseaume. 

 Mem. Societe Zoologique de France for 1889, p. 247. This is 

 CyHndreUa hanleyana of Pfeiffer, a species of Brachypodella. The 

 name Microstoma will become a synonym of Brachypodetta. It was 

 probably not intended as a new generic name, being very likely an 

 error for Mychostorna H. A. PILSBRY.
