The majority of the species referred to or described in this 

 paper were collected in British New Guinea, in the region lying 

 to the north of Orangerie Bay, by Mr. Anthony, Collector to 

 the Hon. Walter Rothschild. The collection contained a large 

 series of Nanina hnnsteini, Chloritis [Siilcobasis) stirophora, Lepiopoma 

 vitrcum, Saccinca strnhelli, and Papiiiiia hvumcyiensis, in addition to 

 the species hereafter mentioned. The new Piipinella from 

 Djamna Island, and the Hcliciiia from Neu Pommern (New 

 Britain), have been placed in my hands for description by 

 Herr Bruno Strubell, and the new Chavopa from German New 

 Guinea, and the two Tmncatellae from Samarai at the eastern 

 extremity of the Island, were submitted to mc by Mr. Hugh 

 Fulton. 



I take this opportunity of figuring four species described by 

 me a few years ago, three of which have not as yet been illus- 

 trated. They are as follows: — i. Nanina infelix-'- (Figs. 6, 7) ; 

 2. Papiiina acrope f (Figs. 1,2); 3. P. hevo. f (Figs. 3, 4) ; 

 1. P. janthc \ (Fig. 5). (Pilsbry, .Man. Conch., series 2, vol. ix.,
