NOTE ON THE CLAUSILIAE RECORDED FROM 

 CELEBES WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF 

 TWO NEW SPECIES. 



By E. R. SYKES, B.A., F.Z.S. 



The two species I now describe were collected by Mr. 

 Doherty and placed in my hands by Mr. Fulton. With them 

 was found a third form, which appears to me to be probably 

 only a variety of C. simillima, Smith ; dwarf in size (alt. i8, lat. 

 3-2 mill. ; alt. apert. 3-8, lat. apert. 3 mill.), with finer striae, and 

 the crenulation at the sutures almost absent. 



Clausula pyrrha n. sp. (Plate IV., Figures i and 2). 



Testa elongata, solidula, rufo-cornea, nitidula, spira sub- 

 attenuata, apice obtusulo, distorto ; anfr. 9^-10, modice 

 accrescentes, convexiusculi, primi laeves, reliqui sub lente 

 dense sed obsolete striati, ultimus basi sub-inflatus, productus ; 

 sutura simplex ; apertura obliqua, ovato-piriformis, basi 

 recedens, intus rufo-cornea ; peristoma incrassatum, sub- 

 reflexum, solutum ; lamella superior obliqua, marginalis, 

 mediocris ; lamella inferior fere marginalis, mediocris, spiraliter 

 contorta, abrupte ascendens ; lamella sub-columellaris marginalis, 

 conspicua ; plicae palatales duae, suturae parallae, una (principalis) 

 mediocris, altera pygmaea. Alt. 17, lat. 3-3 mill. ; alt. apert. 

 3'3, lat. apert. 2-25 mill. 



Hab. — Between Maros and Tjamba, near Makassar, S. 

 Celebes (Doherty). 



In the position of the mouth this species recalls C.snhpolita, 

 Smith ; but it is larger, more elongate, and differs in colouration ; 

 it is also thicker. 



Clausilia makassarensis n. sp. (Plate IV., Figures 4-6). 



Testa sub-elongata, tenuiuscula, obsolete striata, cornea, 

 nitida, apice obtusulo ; anfr. g, modice accrescentes, plano- 

 convex! ; sutura simplex ; apertura ovalis, basi pauUo recedens, 

 intus cornea ; peristoma incrassatum, sub-reflexum, solutum ; 

 lamella superior obliqua, marginalis, 1. inferior, mediocris, rapide 

 ascendens, lamella sub-columellaris, sub-conspicua ; plicae 

 palatales duae suturae parallelae, p. principalis major, mediocris, 

 altera parva. Alt. lyj, lat. 3 mill. ; alt. apert. 2-8, lat. apert. 

 2 mill. 



Hab. — Between Maros and Tjamba, near Makassar, S. 

 Celebes (Doherty).
