4:th Fasciculus, 45 pp., 8 pi. March, 186-i, 



This number contains principally Syrian Helices. 



E. Ehrenhergi, var. chilemhia, R. Kurdistana, Parr., (new,) 

 JI. guttata, Oliv., and IT. Miclioniana, Bourg., separated from 

 it. 



Several varieties of H. desarea and IT. spiriplana are de- 

 scribed. 



M. Bourguignat remarks, that these descriptions indicate 

 a special group of Asiatic Helices, closely related to certain 

 Grecian species, such as Codringto7ii, eucincta, ei/poecilia, eu- 

 cliromia and Parnassict. The species of this group are, for 

 the most part, excessively rare and little known. Two or 

 three have been described and figured, but they have nearly 

 always been confounded one with another. In order to end this 

 confusion, he describes the new species, and to show their re- 

 ciprocal affinities and differences, gives plates of all the spe- 

 cies, eight in number. He forms two groups as follows : — 



1. Species of wliicli the superior 2. Species with the superior 

 whorls are convex, and not whorls strongly cari- 



carinated. nated. 



H. Kurdistana. H. Ctx-sareana.
