Type in British Museum. 



A species of Succinea occurs in abundance upon the stems of 

 taro leaves in the hill gardens above Mita village, Milne Bay, speci- 

 mens of which answer fairly well to the description Pfeiffer gives 

 of S. simplex. Being unable to compare my specimens with a 

 figure or authentic named examples, I refer them to the Solomon 

 Island species with some hesitation.
