been referred to Cochlostyli , which may be correct, but we rather 

 doubt the three so-called Valloni.ir. Btiliminus is very rich, 26 

 species. The operculates are Blaufordia i, Diploniinatina 2, 

 Cyclophonis 3, PapiiicUa j,,Fupina w.Realia \,Hdicina 10, and, 

 strange to say, it" the identification be correct, one species of the 

 Indian genus Georissa. 



B. Tasmania. Numerous species of Trochomorpha (about 20) 

 and the peculiar subgenus of Helix, Anaglypfa, of which, how- 

 ever, only one species is known, H. Launccstoiicnsis, form the 

 most striking features. There are 3 species of R/iytida, 8 of 

 Champa, and, curiously enough, 5 of Pitys. 



C. Norfolk. Island has only Nanina 2, Trochomorpha i, Patula 

 3, Pa lain a i, Rcalia 2, Helicina i. 



D. Kermandec only possesses Vitrina i, Macrochlamys i, 

 Thalassia i, Patula i. We may remark with reference to the 

 Vitriita that Mr. Edgar Smith's name Kermandecensis has priority 

 over Prof Mousson's ultima. They were published in the 

 "Annals and Magazine of N.H." and "The Journal de Conchy- 

 liologie " of the same nominal date, but whereas the " Journal " 

 rarely appears till from six weeks to two months after date, the 

 English Magazines are always published a few days before date. 

 Both Mr. Smith and Prof Mousson could very well afford to dis- 

 pense with whatever honor may be considered to arise from 

 having their names attached to this shell, we have, therefore, no 

 hesitation in pointing out what we believe to be the correct state 

 of the case. 



E. Hew Zealand has hardly answered to the expectations 

 formed of it. Woodward says that it is " rich in land shells." If 

 so, it is strange that scarcely half as many species have been 

 found as in New Caledonia. Nanimz are tolerably numerous, 

 Parvphaiitd 16, Thalassia 7. There are 20 species of Charopa, 

 which may be considered as the characteristic group. Two species
