 Rolleia, Crosse, is a subgenus of Choaiwfoma. Pseudocyclotus is a new genus 

 (type nffvce-hibemice , Quoy); from the radula it is near Omphalotropis, but differs in 

 the operculum. Cyathopoma is near here rather than in Cyclophoms ; as also 

 Garrettia. Cyclotopsis is nearer Cyclopliorus than Cyclostoma, according to the 

 radula.— E. R. S.
