Notes on a few species of Andamanese land shells, lately 

 described in the American Journal of Conchology. By 

 Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



The author corrects the assertion made by me in the paper 

 referred to above, that the Andaman Islands are almost unknown 

 conchologically, by showing that Messrs. Benson and Theobald 

 have described and enumerated about twenty species. He also 

 states that Andaman Island has a population of 8,000 foreign 

 inhabitants, and has been for twelve years the largest Indian 

 convict settlement. I have no excuse to offer for great negli- 

 gence in preparing my paper, which I certainly would not have 

 published had I been aware of the publication of the species, 

 which our correspondent, Dr. Stoliczka, shows to have priority— 

 although I would not have been able to identify them, having 

 neither specimens nor figures to refer to, as none of the species 

 had been previously figured.

Dr. Stoliczka also considers ? Cyelostoma Leai, nob, = Cyclo- 

 phorus foliaceus Chemn. but to this decision I do not agree, and 

 refer the reader to my " Note on Cyclophorus foliaceus. Reeve
