Kerhophorus are common to both places, or the most likely 

 to be so ; the same applies to Equeefa, from which 

 Mr. Biirnup has sent specimens and which is near the coast, 

 between the two. 



In Part II., 1912, p. 573, 1 mentioned species oi phcBdimus, 

 received from Mr. Bnrnup. I have examined them again ; 

 they are thus distin<?uished : — 



A. From Maritzburg, small narrowly banded shells, four 

 in number, depressed in form, 12 to 13 mm. major diameter. 



B. ? phadinms, from Durban. 



Larger shells. Three unhanded, one well-banded variety, 

 no otlier diH'erence noticeable between them. A and B 

 I now consider distinct, although on page 573 I wrote : 

 "they present no difference save in size.'^ A comparison 

 of the largest of the uubar)dpd Durban shells, 12 mm. in 

 major diameter, with a typical shell of K. natnlensis, 13 mm. 

 in major diameter, in the British jMuseum Collection, has 

 led me to tlnnk diff'erently. B, no doubt, is K, corneus, 

 compared with the Stettin Museum shell. 



It is necessary to state the evidence we now have as to the 

 species K. natutensis, Kis. The type or, to say more 

 accurately, typical shells were received by Mr. E. A. Smith 

 of the British JMuseum from Dr. Lam part of the Stuttgart 

 Museum, and compared with the examples bearing this 

 name in tlic Natural History Museum, and were found to 

 agree. These include : — 



Four examples, ex Cuming Collection. 



Three examples, ea- Cuming Collection, marked: "This 

 agrees with type drawn,'"" 8. v. 11. — H. H. G.-A. 



Three examples. 



Many fully grown, nil unhanded, globose, large, smooth 

 and shining, ochraceous green. 



Two examples. Very large, banded. Port Natal, 'JO mil(>s 

 south of Durban, seem to be the same as the nuban(l('<l. 



'^Ihrou^h the courtesy of tlie Trustees of the Stettin 

 ^MuxMini. 1 have received for comparison a fine typical speci- 

 men of A. //«/tf/6'//.s/.s-, which agrees in every way with tho-e I 

 mention ab(jve. It has the decided greenish tinge, no bauds, 

 and is 17 mm. in major diameter. 



Port Shepstoiu', Burnup says, is a locality especially pro- 

 lific in strange forms of this group. He sent mc some eight 

 packets, re])rcsenting twenty-seven specimens ; and had these 

 been preserved in s|)irit and the animals left in their shells 

 they would have formed a most valual)l(; collection. It is to 

 be hoped this excellent collector and observer will, at some
