 Ilab. Eastern Java. 



I am indebted to IMr. Benson for an authentic example 

 of this species, received from M. Mousson. It is, however, 

 impossible to describe it satisfactorily, owing to the shell 

 having lost its epidermis, which, to judge by analogy, 

 would afl'ord important characters. 



The author notices having a number of dead specimens 

 in liis possession, collected in Eastern Java, and remarks, 

 that it is the only representative hitherto found in that 

 island, of the richly clad group, comprising B. pytho- 

 gaster and its congeners, inhabiting the Philippines.
