neighbourhood of Yokohama and Kobe. As precise information 

 is attached to several of them, it adds very much to their value, 

 and may be sufficiently interesting to engage the attention of 

 Conchologists, to whom such information is always most accept- 

 able from collectors. 



The following is the complete list : — 



1. Helix peliomphala Pfeiffer. 



2. H. o^w^sWdi Deshayes. 



3. H. japonica Pf. — " Pretty common." 



4. H. similaris Fer. — " Found only in one or two localities." 



5. H. Sieboldiana Pfr. — "Found in caves and in the earth ; 



only now and then found crawling about." One speci- 

 men of this species survived the long journey to 

 England and I have had it living since May, 1875, in 

 a glass jar with earth at the bottom of it, and in cap- 

 tivity it still retains the habit of burrowing. The 

 animal is of a yellowish waxy colour, with a long 

 narrow foot, tapering posteriorly, and rather elongate 

 tentacles, and is indifferent as to its fo d, displaying 

 however a decided partiality for cucumber. 



The five preceding species were all found in the 

 neighbourhood of Yokohama. 



6. H. Mackensii Ad. &• Rve. — Occurred at Kobe. 



7. H. conospira {Pfr.) Martens. — " Very rare, only four speci- 



mens taken in my garden," Yokohama ; the shell 

 which I refer to this species agrees exactly with the 

 figure given by Martens in the " Preussische Expe- 

 dition nach Ost-Asien," pi. 14, fig. 7. The dimen- 

 sions are 8 mill, in its greatest breadth, 7 in the 

 smallest, and 7 in height. 



7. Helix Goodwinii sp. nov. 

 Testa depres^o-coniui, aperte sed subawi^uste unibilicata., tenuis, pal- 

 lide cornea, translucida, incrementi lineis obliquis tenuiter 

 striata, et striis spiralibus mi nut is (fere obsoletis) insculpta ; 

 spira leviter convexe conica : anfractus sYz — 6 convexiusculi, 

 sutura siniplici bene impressa sejimcti., ultivius tnedio indistincte
