translatecP pi'oved them to be the islauds of Adams. Under the 

 circumstances I have thought it uot superfluous to give a sketch-map 



of so much of the southern end of Awa Province" as is necessary 

 to show the location of these type localities. At Taka-no-shima 

 (" Island of Taka ") only one terrestrial species was taken, Fhilo- 

 mrjcxis hilineatus Bens., probably = P. confusus Ckll. 



Oki-no-shima, or as A. Adams, from some erroneous notion, 

 transposes it in some places, " Kino-0-Sima," lies west of Taka- 

 no-shima. The following species are recorded, only the first one 

 having been recognized by recent students of Japanese snails : 



Helix (Fruticicola) similar is Fer. 



Helix (Fndicicola) crasjjedocheila A. Ad. 



Helix (Fruticicola) j^^'^ba A. Ad. 



Helix (Plectotrojns) sqicarrosa Gld. [probably Plectotropis 

 vulgivaga]. 



Hyalina ? eledrina Gld. [probably an error] . 



Clausilia stenospira A. Ad. 



Clausilia proba A. Ad. 



Clausilia pinguis A. Ad. 



In the Travels, p. 310, Adams mentions taking Helix simodce 

 and a little Bulimulus, and on the next page records Pevonia 

 tongana from this place. 



^ Mr. Benjamin Smith Lymau, formerly of the Peuusylvauiau and 

 Japanese Geological Surveys, was so good as to translate these as well 

 as inauy other Japanese phice-uames. 



•* It may be needless to mention that there are two provinces called 

 Awa : — tliat intended here, lymg east of the entrance to Tokyo Bay, 

 and another in the eastern part oT Shikoku Island.
