418 Mr. A. Adams oti Japanese Species 



lempijt, (Horsf.), and its aiBned species, concurs with me in the 

 propriety of bestowing a separate title on the species inhabit- 

 ing the Western Ghauts of India. It is chiefly characterized 

 by the ruddy ground-colour of its plumage, and the tarsal 

 feathers being nearly, if not quite, immaculate. This and 

 Sco2)s </riseus, Jerd., form two well-marked species, both dif- 

 fering from Javan examples of E. levqnji, (Horsf.), the first 

 inhabiting the Western Ghauts, the second the Eastern, and 

 also the forests in the vicinity of Maunbhoom. 



XLIX. — On some Sjjecies of Prohoscidiferous Oasteroj)ods 

 lohich inhahit the Seas of Japan. By Arthur Adams,

Since I published my paper, in the ' Journal of the Linnean 

 Society' for 1863, on the species of Fusidas which were found 

 by myself in Japan, I have seen the elaborate work of Dr. 

 Schrenck on the Mollusca of Amur-Land and the Seas of 

 Northern Japan. He there figures a very fine species of 

 Neptunea^ a group which seems to have its headquarters in 

 northern seas, which he has named Buccinum pericocliUon, 

 and which is very similar in form to the elegant shell named 

 by Dr. Baird Chrysodomust ahidafus, from Vancouver's Island. 

 Buccinum yessoensis, Schrenck, which I found in Aniwa Bay, 

 in the island of Saghalien, belongs, I believe, to the genus 

 Urosalpinx, recently established by Stimpson, as does also 

 Euthria hadia^ A. Ad., from Tsus-Sima. The Fusus ImeoIatuSj 

 Dkr. {Buccimtm Dunken, Kiist.), is a Cape species of Conii- 

 nella, l)ut is stated by Schrenck to be also found in Hakodadi 

 Bay. 



In the 'Annals and Magazine of Natural History' for March 

 1863, I described twelve species of Sijyhonalta, a Fusoid 

 genus which seems to represent Neptnnea in the south of 

 Japan. In the ' Proceedings of the Zoological Society ' for 

 1862 the species of Muricida; found in Japan are enumerated ; 

 and in the ' Journal of the Linnean Society,' vol. vii., I have 

 given a list of the species of Mitrida3 found by myself in 

 Japanese waters. I now present the results of my personal 

 knowledge of some other families of Prohoscidiferous Gastero- 

 pods which inhabit the sens of Japan.
