236 PROCEKDINGS OF Till': MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Of the quoted figures tliose of var. intamescens, v. Martens (Conch. 

 Mitth., figs. 2-4), come nearest, but liave the subangular shoulder 

 still more pronounced. 



20. Canidia Helena (Meder.), Philippi. 



Philippi, Abbild. neuer Conch., vol. ii, p. 170, MeJania, pi. iv, fig. 4; 

 ^lousson, Land- u. Siissw. Moll, von Java, p. 64, ])1. x, fig. 2; 

 V. Martens, Siiss.- u. Brackw. Moll, des Ind. Archipels, p. 75. 



Ilab. — Tuntang River, October, 1910. Two specimens. 



This species has not yet been recorded from Samaraiig. The 

 western localities recorded by v. Martens are Batavia and I'reanger 

 Regencies; the most eastern one in Java is Sural)aya ; FruhstortVr 

 has collected it at Sukabumi. Though both specimens are only dead 

 shells they are noteworthy, as they fill up a gap in the geographical 

 distribution of the species. 



21. Ampdllauia scutata, Moiisson. 



Mousson, Land- u. Siissw. Moll, von Java, p. 60, pi. viii, fig. 2 ; 

 Philippi, Martini-Chemn. Condi. Cab., 2nd ed., Ampullaria, p. 9, 

 pi. i, figs. 4-6; V. Martens, Siiss.- u. Brackw. Moll, des Ind. 

 Archipels, p. 18. 

 Sal. — Djoeja, February, 1911. Thiee specimens. 

 I liave followed the views of v. Martens, who considers the name 

 conica, Gray, in Wood's Index Test, too doubtful to apply it to this 

 species from Java, which has been so clearly characterized by 

 Mousson, though Gray's name should have priority. The operculum, 

 which is one of tiie best characters distinguishing it from A. ampiiUacea, 

 Linn., is very well represented by the quoted figure 6 of Philippi 

 and by Mousson. 



22. ^Ielania testddinaria, v. d. Busch. 



V. d. l^usch in Philippi, Abbild. neuer Conch., vol. i, p. 3, ])1. i, 



fig. 14 ; Mousson, Land- u. Siissw. Moll, von Java, p. 66, pi. xi, 



figs. 1-3; Brot, Martini-Chemn. Conch. Cab., 2nd ed., Mclanidse, 



p. 49, pi. vi, fig. 3; v. Martens, Siiss.- u. Brackw. ISloU. des 



Ind. Archipels, p. 31. 



Hah. — Tuntang River, October, 1910. Fourteen specimens. 



The specimens agree rather well with Mousson's fig. 3. The 



flammules are sufficiently conspicuous in well-preserved shells, but 



man}- of them are mucli eroded. One specimen is remarkable for 



the shape of its aperture The shell evitlently has been re])eatedly 



broken and lepaired by the animal, and consequently tlie base is 



quite flattened, and has a superficial resemblance with some forms 



of the American genus Phurocera, e.g. P. canal icnlatum, Say; but 



eomj)arison with the other specimens from the same locality leaves 



no doubt about its true position;
