Mr. R. Etheridge, Jun., on Gasteropoda. 473 



notch above the external basal lobule described in that species, 



as shown in the woodcut. Distribution of fur as in K. papu- 



ensis*, there being short shining yellowish hairs thickly set 



along the forearm, on the thumb 



quite to the claw, all along the 



second finger, on both phalanges 



of- the third, and on the distal 



phalanges of the fourth and fifth 



fingers. There are also a few 



hairs on the proximal end of the 



fifth metacarpal. The tail and the 



hind limbs quite to the bases of 



the claws are covered with similar hairs ; the edge of the 



interfemoral, however, is without a fringe. The teeth are 



quite similar to those of K. papuensis. 



K. javana is thus intermediate between K. Jagori, a 

 Philippine species, and K. papuensis from New Guinea, dif- 

 fering from the latter in the shape of the ears and tragus, 

 and by the absence of an interfemoral fringe, and from the 

 former by the presence of fur upon the limbs, that species 

 having these quite nakedf. It differs from both, however, in 

 the tricolor character of the fur, as they are of a nearly 

 uniformly dark reddish- brown colour, though the tips of the 

 hairs are lighter. 



Measurements of the type, an adult female in spirit: — Length, 

 head and body l"-93, tail l"-72, head 0"'78, ear 0"-6, tragus 

 0"-37, forearm l"-53, thumb 0"'27, third finger 3"'0, fifth 

 finger 2"'2, tibia 0"-72, foot 0"-35. 



XLIII. — Notes on the Gasteropoda contained in the Gilbertson 

 Collection, British Museum, and figured in Phillips 's l Geology 

 of Yorkshire.' 1 By R. Etheridge, Jun., F.R.Ph.S.Ed. 



In the ' Geological Magazine ' for April 1879 (no. 178) I 

 gave a few brief notes on the Bivalves contained in Gilbert- 

 son's collection of Carboniferous-Limestone fossils in the 

 British Museum, and the majority of which were made the 

 subject of illustration in the second volume of Phillips's 

 work, l Illustrations of the Geology of Yorkshire,' part 2, 

 "The Mountain-Limestone District." 



I now purpose following up this subject by an examination 

 of the Gasteropoda, and in the present communication shall
