192 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE MALA.COLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Planispira zebra, Pfr., from the Island of Ceram, has somewhat 

 the same zigzag flame-like markings, and probably is only another 

 form of that under consideration. The stripes in F. zebra extend 

 over the whole height of the shell, whereas, in the forms from Gisser, 

 the zigzags are confined to the upper half of the shell ; the species from 

 Ceram is also slightly larger, and has a denticle -like projection, 

 caused by the pinching in of the aperture near the upper part, which 

 characteristic is quite absent from the specimens from Gisser ; also the 

 constriction behind the peristome in F. zebra is absent in var. Kolleri.
