150 PROCEEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



100. Anodonta .gibba, Bens. 



A common mollusc at Tao Hwan, where it inhabits certain deep 

 dykes which are used for purposes of irrigation. It is a favourite 

 article of diet with the Chinese, and by every homestead was invariably 

 a large pile of its empty shells. Apparently these molluscs are at 

 times obtained by diving, as I saw men thus engaged. 



101. Hemicaedium (Fragum) fragum (Linn.). 



A few specimens were obtained in British North Borneo. 



102. Chama nivalis (Rve.). 



Labuan. One specimen only obtained. 



103. Meketrix zonaeia, Lamk. 



Common, and often very fine, on the Shantung coast. 



104. Circe divaricata, Sowb. 



Not uncommon about Hong Kong. 



105. DoSINIA PUBESCENS, Phil. 



Labuan. A few dead specimens only were obtained. 



106. C^iCLiNA Chinensis (Chem.). 



Not uncommon about Hong Kong and on the adjoining mainland. 



107. Tapes (Amygdala) variegata, Sowb. 

 Obtained in the neighbourhood of Hong Kong. 



108. Tapes (Hemitapes) striatds (Chem.). 

 Obtained in the same parts of China as the last-named. 



109. Cyrena solida, Desh. 



A common species in the mangrove swamps at Labuan. 



110. CoRBicuLA Largillierti (Phil.). 



Occasionally found in paddy-fields on the mainland opposite to 

 Hong Kong, and, like many other fresh-water molluscs, a favourite 

 article of diet with the Chinese.

Occasionally obtained in paddy-fields near Hong Kong.

 the Chinese.
