Pilsbry, Henry A — The Land Mollusca from Japan and tlie Bonin Islands. 

 Proc. Acad. Xat. Sci. Phila., 1902, pp. 25—3-2. 

 Dr. Pilsbry has in preparation a nionograi)hic account of the non-marine 

 moUusca of the Jk)nin Islands, in which the undermentioned species will be 

 figured ; in the meantime it is thought desirable to publish brief notices of Mr. 

 Xakada's discoveries (who is still collecting there). Of the genus Helicina, 

 Lam., the following new species are indicated : H. capsula, H. ogasawarana^ 

 II. hirasei, 11. y ash iwa rami and vars. arata and microtheca. Descriptions 

 arc given of Ahjcttus biexcisus from Suimura, Cydophorus kikaiensis from 

 Osumi, Diplommatina kiiensis^wX pudica from Kii, and KaUella ogasaivarana 

 and Nesopupa dedecora from Hahajima. A new sub-genus of Hirased, Pils., 

 is described under the name of fametesta, with //. mirabilis, n. sp., from 

 Hahajima, as the type- //. uperculina, GUI., from Peel island, is also included 

 in this sub-genus. 



Pilsbry, Henry A — lUxision of Japanese Viviparidae, with Notes on 

 Melania and Bithynia Ibid., pp. 115 — 121, pi. ix. 



■■ The Viviparidae of Japan, so far as their appearance in the field of 

 literature is concerned, are involved in mind-destroying chaos," writes the 

 author of this paper, in whose opinion there are four Japanese species, viz., 

 V. iitalleatus, live., of which V. laeta, v. Mts., is perhaps only a form, in which 

 case, the name has priority ; V. japonicus., v. Mts., and var. nov. iirabitra : 

 V. histricus, Gld ; and V. sclateri, Pfld. Possibly this last species is only a 

 variety of V. histricus. 



Professor Pilsbry is of opinion that V^. oxytropis, liens., V. iiKjallsiaiia, 

 Lea non live., and V. stelmaphora, Bgt., do not occur in Japan. 



The following new \arieties are also described : Melania reiniana \. 

 hidachiensis and M. libertina v. latifusus. Figures are gi\en of the four 

 Japanese Viviparidae, the new varieties, and of Bithynia striatula v. japunica,
