 countries, and their later analogues. 

 The new genera lictipinila, Liomelon, 

 and Miopleinnu, and the new sections 

 of V olutoderma, Rostellinda , Rostellaca, 

 and liostclhuKi are proposed. The fol- 

 lowing specific names are proposed for 

 the final time : Volutodcrtna stolicz- 

 kann, V. excavuta, V. tenua, V. media, 

 and V. teinostoma, from India ; V. hols- 

 apfeli, from Aachen ; and V. protracta 

 from the United States ; Voluiomorpha 

 retifrra, V. diimasensis, V. aspera, V. 

 iurricula, and V. liaica from the
