Note by the Editor. — I have received from Mr. Pease the fol- 

 lowing corrections to his paper on "Partulse," published in 

 the last number of the Journal : — 



Partula fasciata, Pease,= P. Ganymedes, Pfr. : — " I was 

 misled by an error in locality." In most cases, it will be no- 

 ticed Mr. Pease does not acquiesce (nor do I) in the determi- 

 nations, respecting the identity of his Partula? with species al- 

 ready described by other authors, as determined by Mr. 

 Cuming, and published in our first volume, p. 369, (from Proc. 

 Zool. Soc.)

 Zool. Society, London.
