HAAS: ABIDA AND CHONDRENA. 271 



but by no means deny it; but the record from Algeria by 

 Bourguignat appears to me much in need of confirmation.

 Pilsbry, Vol. XXIV, p. 276, pi. 43, figs. 7, 8, 9. 



To the synonymy of this species belongs also Pupa cadica 

 Fagot, which Pilsbry (Vol. XXIV, p. 314) considered a 

 species of the series of Abida secale (Drap.). I studied two 

 cotypes of this form in the Bofill collection in Barcelona, from 

 which I ascertained that cadica, quite as Westeiiund states, is 

 a form of A. partioti, while Fagot placed his "species" near 

 A. secale. In the Est. IV, p. 121, pi. 2, figs. 1, 2, I announced 

 this view and sought to prove it by the illustration of one of 

 the two Fagot cotypes. 



Pilsbry did not record A. partioti from Spain. It is before 

 me from many places in the valleys of the Segre and its 

 Pyrenean affluents. The type locality of Fagot's Pupa cadica 

 is the Sierra de Cadi on the Coll de Tanca-la-Porta, at about 

 1700 m. elevation. 



Pupa dupuyi West., which its author changed later to P. 

 cristella, and which Pilsbry thought might be partioti, belongs 

 in the synonymy of this. A specimen before me identified as 

 dupuyi in the Boettger collection, from the type locality, 

 Saint-Sauveur in the High Pyrenees, seems to prove the 

 alleged identity. This specimen is figured (pi. 23, figs. 3, 4), 

 as Pilsbry 's figure (Vol. XXIV, pi. 43, fig. 10) is a copy from 

 the Iconographic, and consequently is none too distinct. 



4. Abida secale (Drap.). PI. 23, figs. 5, 6. 



The treatment of this species and its varieties or local races 

 by Pilsbry (Vol. XXIV, pp. 306-314) appears to require ex- 

 tension, according to my abundant material from the Pyrenees 

 and Catalonia. Pilsbry (I. c, p. 307) leaves A. secale re- 

 stricted to central Europe, and mentions from the Pyrenees 

 only a few varieties and the subspecies boileausiana (Charp., 

 Kstr.) ; from Spain he mentions no localities. My first opinion 

 was that the typical secale really did not reach to and over 

 the Pyrenees, and that there the local race boileausiana oc-
