Tlio occurrence of a true Buliminus in New Guinea is a very 

 interesting point in zoological distribution, since it confirms the theory 

 that the Papuan fauna is more Oriental than Australian. The nearest 

 localities where species of -£*«« have been observed are Java and 

 Borneo, none having been found, as yet, in the Celebes or the 

 Moluccas.

Another most important discovery of Mr. Kubary's. The species 

 somewhat resembles the large Cyclophori of the Philippine Islands, 

 both in shape and colouring, whilst its peculiar sculpture calls in 

 mind that of certain species of Ostodes. The operculum is not quite 

 typical, inasmuch as it is thicker, and the inner side shows a rather 

 stout tubercle in the centre, with an impressed cone succeeded by an 

 elevated ring around it. We shall probably be obKged to make 

 C. Kuharyi the type of a separate section. 



13. Leptopoma vitketjm. Less. 



Frequent near the sea all round Constantinhafen (Kubary). Already 

 known from New Guinea (Lesson, Tapparone-Canefri), New Britain, 

 Louisiades, Key and Aru Islands, the Moluccas and the Philippine 

 Islands

 conoidea. Anfr. 4+ teretes, sutura valde profunda canaliculata,
