Melania Junghuhni Schepman. 



In Vol. XVIII, pag. 135, of this periodical I have des- 

 cribed a uew Melania with the specific name Junghuhni. 

 Now some time ago Prof. K. Martin directed my attention 

 to the fact, that this name was preoccupied for a fossil 

 species, described in 1879/80 in his work: Die Tertiar- 

 schichten auf Java; Palaeontologischer Theil, pag. 89, pi. 

 XIV, fig. 20. So his name has the priority, and my spe- 

 cies must receive another name , for which I propose Melania 

 Martini., after the person who has detected the error. I 

 may make the apology, that, as it is already not an easy 

 matter to avoid such errors with the names of recent spe- 

 cies, it becomes very difificult, to know also the names of 

 the numerous fossils. 



Fupina sucinacia Boettger. 



In studying some specimens of Pupina from Java , I got 

 for comparison the types of Pupina Junghuhni (Herklots ms.) 

 from the Leyden Museum , described by Prof, von Martens , 

 in : Die Preussische Expedition uach Ost-Asieu ; Zool. Theil , 

 1867, pag. 156, and was struck with the extreme resem- 

 blance of this species to P. sucinacia Boettger, described
