Pupa boettgeriana Clessin (see vol. xxv, p. 49) has been 

 examined by Dr. Haas, whose report follows : 



' ' The Clessin collection is contained in the Staatliche Natur- 

 liensammlung in Stuttgart, whence I received the type of 

 Pupa boettgeriana Clessin as a loan. In the tube marked with 

 this name there were 3 identical examples. In his original 

 diagnosis (Mai. BL, n. F., v. p. 188, pi. 4, fig. 4; copied in 

 Manual, xxv, p. 49, pi. 5, fig. 3) Clessin mentioned that he 

 possessed only one specimen. The exact locality is the Cerro 

 de Albancha near Jaen, Prov. Jaen, Spain. The original label 

 gives the name as "Pupa Bottgeriana n. sp.," but Bottgeriana 

 is crossed out, and after n. sp., granum is written in Clessin 's 

 own hand. Then granum had been crossed out and Bott- 

 geriana adopted again by underlining with dots. 



' ' Clessin thus at some time had doubts as to the validity of 

 his new species, which really is not separable from typical 

 Granopupa granum. 



"The three specimens all measure 5x1.75 mm. and have 

 typical granum teeth, 1-2-4, although Bottgeriana was said by 

 Clessin to be toothless. However, as the apertures of all the 

 specimens were very dirty, Clessin perhaps overlooked the 

 teeth. That the original description does not agree with the 

 original figure was recognized, and in the case of Clessin 

 occasions no surprise. That the original specimens are now 

 found to agree with neither is almost a logical corollary. A 

 re-examination of Clessin 's types of Corbicula by Dr. Prashad 

 of Calcutta, who worked with me for a time, demonstrated 

 conspicuous disagreements, which almost justify the general- 

 ization that one has nothing to depend upon in dealing with 

 Clessin 's descriptions and figures." 



Granopupa (?) moraguesi (Moragues). 



Shell perforate, conic-elongate, the spire tapering, apex 

 acute ; corneous ; under a lens obliquely and closely rib-striate. 

 The 5 whorls are somewhat convex, separated by a deep 

 suture, regularly increasing, the last slightly wider than the 

 penult, slightly ascending to the aperture and very lightly 

 flattened behind the margin. Aperture oblique, obliquely 

 ovate, nearly cordate, with 6 folds : two [parietal] folds, the 

 upper short, lower long, entering ; two columellars, the upper
