Celebes u. Banggai." The shell agreed in every respect, 

 but as I fonud that it had the rapidly increasing upper 

 whorls radiately and concentrically striated , the last whorl 

 being comparatively smooth , and that the peristome was 

 orange yellow , which important characters wanted in the 

 description, I asked Dr. Kobelt to inform me if his shell 

 possesses the same characters. Dr. Kobelt wrote that the 

 specimen was returned to Dr. A. B. Meyer, Director of 

 the Dresden Museum, who on his turn told me, it was 

 sent for comparison to the brethern P. and F. Sarasin in 

 Basle, who wrote in reply on my request, that the speci- 

 mens have: »eiuen hell orange rothen Mundsaum und dass 

 sie die erwahnte Gittersculptur auf den oberen Windungen 

 aufs deutlichste zeigen." Thus I found my determination 

 to be right. 



I thought it might be useful to publish these facts, as 

 especially the sculpture of the upper whorls may greatly 

 tend to recognize the species , for 1 cannot find a similar 

 structure in any of the other species of Cyclotus from Celebes.
