AND OTHER FAMILIES. 57 



Hab. Java? 



My Cabinet. 

 Diam. -9, Length '6 of an inch. 



Remarks. — The fine reddish-brown ground and intensely dark band 

 distinguish this fine Helix. In my specimen, which is the only one I 

 have seen, the inferior margin of the band has, adjoining it, an obscure 

 band, of a tint somewhat lighter than the ground. It should be ob- 

 served, that when other specimens may be examined, the bands may 

 not prove so regular as in the present specimen. Around the umbili- 

 cus the colour is more pale.

Hab. China near Canton. W. W. Wood. 



My Cabinet. 



Cabinet of Mr Hyde. 



Cabinet of P. H. Nicklin. 



Diam. -6, Length -4 of an inch. 



Remarks. — Among a number of fine shells taken by Mr Wood, who 

 devoted himself much to natural history during some years' residence 

 in China, was this species and the globula herein described, both from 

 the neighbourhood of Canton. It may be distinguished by its brown 

 band, its round aperture and enlarged umbilicus.
