11. Clausilia acutus Bensoti. — Two varieties of this species 



were sent by Mr. Goodwin — one " common at Yoko- 

 hama " and the other from Kobe. The latter is more 

 slender, consists of 10 whorls, whereas the former has 

 only 9, and the subcolumellar fold in both forms is 

 scarcely perceptible or wanting, whilst in Chinese 

 examples of this species it is usually present. 



12. Cyclotus Fortune! Ffr. — Kobe. 



13. Cyclophorus Herklotsi J/ar/^;/^. — Kobe. "Variesmuch 



in size." This species is recorded by its author from 

 Nagasaki and was also found by A. Adams at the 

 island Tsus'sima. This is the first time I believe 

 that it has occurred so far north. 



14. Pupinopsis mindorensis Ad. 6^ Rve. — Yokohama. It 



was found by A. Adams also at Tsus'sima, an island 

 off the south-western extremity of Niphon. If F. 

 Japonica Martens should prove to be the same as this 

 species (as stated by A. Adams, P.Z.S.. 1867) there 

 will be but two species of Japanese Pupinopsis, the 

 second being P. rufa Pfr.
