to give it a new name." As the shell is quite distinct from ungulina, 

 being much wider in proportion to the axis, having a much less 

 immersed spire, and wider, but not excavated umbilicus, I propose to 

 separate it from that species, and, in according it specific rank, I have 

 pleasure in associating it with the much regretted Professor Eduard 

 von Martens, in appreciation of his many valuable contributions to 

 malacology. 



Chloritis Eduaedi, n.sp. PI. IV, Figs. 1-1^. 



Chloritis ungulina, var. minor, Ferussac : Histoire, pi. Ixxvii, fig, 2 

 (not of Martens). 



Shell umbilicate, discoid, light ochreous brown, paler beneath, 

 finely and distinctly striated, a little shining ; spire slightly immersed ; 

 suture rather deep. Whorls 5, rounded, increasing slowly at first, 

 the last widening suddenly, slightly descending, and suddenly, but 

 very shortly, deflected in front. Aperture crescentic, oblique ; peristome 

 slightly thickened and shortly reflected ; margins approximate, united 

 by a thin flexuous callus ; upper margin slightly ascending at first, 

 then arcuately descending, basal margin regularly curved, forming 

 a slight angle with the columellar margin, which scarcely overhangs 

 the moderate umbilicus. Diam. maj. 26-5, min. 22 mm. ; alt. 15 mm. 



Hah. — Moluccas. 



C. Eduardi diff'ers from C. iingulina, var. minor, in being smaller and 

 less high in proportion to its diameter, by the less immersed spire ; 

 moreover, the last whorl is scarcely deflected in front, more rounded, 

 not angulated below, and the umbilicus is a little wider, and not 

 excavated. It agrees fairly with the figures in Ferussac's work, 

 pi. Ixxvii, fig. 2, but that measures only 25 mm., whereas von Martens 

 gives for var. mi^ior 30 mm. (Ost-Asien, ii, p. 280). 



No habitat appears to have been recorded, but the shell may be 

 assumed to occur in the Moluccas. 



Chloritis tjnguiculina, Martens, var, fusca, n.var. 



The shells in the British Museum referred to by the writer in Journ. 

 Malac, vol. x, p. 48, and figured on pi. iii, fig. 4, appear to differ 

 from the type in being much darker and smaller, and seem worthjr of 

 varietal rank. A specimen from Burn, in my collection, agrees with 

 the Museum specimens. 



Chloritis Martensi, Pfr. PI. lY, Figs. 2-2^. 

 Helix Martensi, Pfr, : Proc. Zool. Soc, 1861, p. 193, 



This hitherto unfigured species is now figured from the type in the 

 British Museum by kind pt-rmission of Mr. Smith. A specimen sent 

 to me by Messrs. Sowerby and Fulton, measuring diam. maj. 19, 

 min. 16, alt. 9 mm., agrees with the type, A shell in Mr. Ponsonby's 

 collection is more solid, and measures diam. maj. 20, min. 16-5, 

 alt. 105 mm. Pilsbry (Man. Conch., vol. vi, p. 245) gives the diam. 

 min. as 14 mm., this being evidently a printer's error, and should be 

 16 mm.
