A LIST OF THE LAND-SHELLS OF THE ISLANDS OF BATCHIAN, 

 TERNATE, AND GILOLO. 



By Edgar A. Smith, F.Z.S., etc. 



Bead 8th May, 1896. 



Heru Bruno Strubell recently sent me for identification a small 

 collection of land-shells from the above islands, and among them 

 occurred the two new species about to be described. In the course 

 of examining the literature dealing with the fauna of these islands, 

 I have brought together the following lists,' which it appeared useful 

 to publish. Only those species which have been quoted from one 

 or other of these islands are referred to. A number of forms have 

 been assigned to the "Moluccas," among which a few may possibly 

 occur at one or other of the islands under consideration, but at present 

 we await further information regarding their special "habitats" to 

 enable us to range them under their proper localities. I have not 

 given references, since most of these may be obtained in the Manual 

 of Conchology, second series, by Tryon and Pilsbry. 



The following are the principal works and papers dealing with the 

 subjects : — 



1. Martens (E. von). "Die preussische Expedition nach Ost- 



Asien," Zool., vol. ii, pp. 99-415. 



2. B^ttger (0.). Berlin Senckenb. Gesell. 1891, pp. 241-318. 



3. Strubell (B.). Nachrichtsbl. deutsch. mal. Gesell. 1892, pp. 



41-50. 



4. Tapparone-Canefri (C). Ann. Mus. Civ. Geneva, 1884, vol. xx, 



pp. 143-169.

* This name was chanj^ed by Von Martens to semirasa, as he believed the species 

 did not occur in the Mohiccas. Specimens from Batchiau, however, are in the 

 collection of Herr Strubell.
