BOETTGEE AND SCHM ACKER : CHINESE CLAUSILI^. 101 



Chinaman had. contrived to get hold of the deposits at the mission- 

 stations by simply writing for them ! 



A trip from Shanghai via Hangchowfoo to Kiukiang overland, 

 undertaken by Dr. Franke of the German Consulate at Shanghai, was, 

 from a conchological point of view, also disappointing. (An account 

 of the voyage was published in the August number of the 

 Messenger^ a missionary paper printed in Shanghai, for 1892.) 



The rest of the species to be described were obtained from Messrs. 

 Pratt and Kricheldorff, who in 1890 travelled in Sytshouan, collecting 

 butterflies for Mr. Leach; from the late Mr. Yankowsky, captain 

 in the service of the China Merchants Steam Navigating Company ; 

 from Dr. Henry, of the Imperial Chinese Customs, the well-known 

 botanist (who, in his turn, obtained them from Father Laurentius 

 Fuchs) ; from Dr. Faber, another eminent botanist, who visited Mount 

 Omi in 1887; and finally through the assistance of Dr. Barchet in 

 Ningpo. To all these gentlemen our best thanks are due. The 

 Hongkong species were collected by Mr. Schmacker and his Japanese 

 collector Tetsu. We have also to record our great obligation to 

 Professor Ed. von Martens and Mr. Edgar A. Smith for their kind 

 assistance in identifying donbtt'ul species by comparison with the 

 types in the Collections at Berlin and the British Museum (Natural 

 History).
