MOELLEXDORFF : LAND SHELLS OF CAROLINE ISLANDS. II7 



I have not seen this species nor have I been able to compare the 

 description. I suspect it to be but a variety of one of the preceding 

 species which differ very little from each other. 



Fam. REALIIDAE.

N. Bl., 1894, p. 20. 



Hah. — Hogolu = Ruk (Hombr. et Jacq.), Yap (Kubary), Guam, 



Mariannes (Quadras). 



The true 0. bulimoides^ was described from the island of Hogolu 



( = Ruk) and the localities Solomon Islands and New Ireland, as 



given by Pfeiffer and other authors are very doubtful. My specimens 



from Yap, which island is situated not very far from Ruk, agree very 



well with the original description, also with the Omj)lialotyopis of 



Guam, which Quadras and myself published as var. contrada of our 0. 



elongahila. If my identification is correct, then 0. elongahda will 



have to be considered a sub-species of Jndimoides and its varieties 



bnuuiescens and dirysodonia (1. c, p. 19) as colour varieties of that 



sub-species. The forms quoted as 0. bidimoides from the Solomon 



Islands and New Ireland most probably belong to other species or 



are at least to be distinguished sub-specifically ; I have not seen them 



as yet. 



42.— Omphalotropis (Eurytropis) eoronata, Mlldff. 



N. BL, 1897, p. 165.— Kob. et Mlldff., ibid., 1898, p. 149. 

 Hah. — Yap (Kubary). 



Easily distinguished by the series of white callosities or minute 

 knobs along the suture. 



43.— Omphalotropis earolinensis, Smith. 



P.Z.S., 1891, t. 40, f. 9 (N. Bl. D. M. G., 1892, p. 176). 

 Hah. — Lugunor (Smith).
