coiled and the apex more globular, less mamillar than in any 

 Cyclophorus I am acquainted with. No shell from New Guinea 

 is like this, and I feel confident altogether that when the animal 

 is known it may be considered the type of a new genus. Pro- 

 visionally, a sectional name may be given to it, and I should 

 propose for this object that of Fapuoct/chos, as the only species 

 known till now of this section belongs to the Papuan fauna. To 

 my knowledge the large typical Cyclophori are still unknown from 

 New Guinea or neighbouring isles. — Algeria, Feb. 1st, 1895.

About the date on which I received the manuscript of the 

 above, there reached me an article by Dr. O. von Mollendorfi", 

 "On a Collection of Land Shells made by Mr. I. Kubary in 

 German New Guinea," Proc. Malac. Soc. Vol. I. Pt. Y. PL xv. 

 pp. 23J:-240. Dealing with similar material, Mr. Ancey's paper 

 has been partially anticipated by the j^rior descriptions of P. and 

 C. Kuharyi. Since, however, Mr. Ancey's independent obser^'a- 

 tions extend beyond those of his predecessor, and since the inter- 

 vention of time and space do not allovv me to refer the paper back 

 to the author, I have judged it best to offer it intact to the 

 Society.
