GENERAL DISTRIBUTION OF JAPANESE LAND SHELLS. 
As the Japanese empire has enlarged, it has become more and more difficult to illustrate the distribution of 
our land shells on such a comparatively narrow and small tablet, for there is not sufficient space for drawing 
large enough maps of the empire .The maps of Ou, Hokkaido, and Saghalin are here reduced; and the positions 
of the Bonin and the Loochoo Is. are changed. 
A specimen shell is placed on its own locality, and thus how our land species are distributed throughout the 
empire may be understood at a glance. For example, specimens of Zw/ota peliomphara and its varieties are placed 
on the maps of Japan Proper, Shikoku, and Kyushu; Mandarina on the Bonin Is., Dolicheulota on Formosa, and 
Eulota blakeana on Hokkaido, in order to show that species or subspesies of these specimens abound in those 
districts.
