South- African Land-MuUusca. -idO 



shape, and a long triangular left shell-lobe. The left dorsal 

 lube in two distiiict parts, tlie posterior one small ; lobe 

 over nuu'ons gland must be elongate in life, but not so long- 

 as in K. ijlueiiiiiius &c. The visceral sac is quite jjlain and 

 unspotted uver the branchial cavity ; at the kidney, which is 

 sieitiia-bruwn, there are a feio fine black spots, and a short 

 black band bordei'S this organ. Towards and on the apical 

 whorls there is indistinct whitish mottling. It is quite distinct 

 from the species sent with it from the same locality. 



I refrain from dissecting the single specimen received, 

 yet name it provisionally K. urientaits, for of this and the 

 next species more examples are required, both of siiell and 

 animal, to come to a satisfactory conclusion as to their 

 distinctness ami nearest allies. 



Burnnp's note to this species is as follows: — "There 

 appear to be 2 spp. here, but there should be no difficulty 

 ill deciding which animal belongs to each sheli, as there are 

 )l of 1 s|). and 1 of the other; moreover, from the nature of 

 the Hatter shell 1 should unhesitatingly say that the animal 

 with the large loose mantle belongs to it." 



Kerkojjhorus ?, sj). n. 



Locality. East London (Xo. 10 <z, H. C. Burnuj)) ; two 

 specimens received. 



Shell very thin, globosely conoid, no perforation, shiny 

 surface; colour strong straw-colour; spire flatly conoid; 

 suture well impressed, apex defined ; whorls 4, rapi:lly in- 

 creasing, apical very convex ; aperture nearly circular, or 

 broadly circularly lunate, subvertical ; peristome very thin ; 

 columellar margin curved, nearly vertical, very weak, no 

 reflexion. 



Size: major diain. 1 1"00, minor 12"0; alt. axis 6*00 mm. 

 Shell quite different from the preceding, flatter and less 

 globose. 



Animal palc-C(doured in alcohol, with a long pointed hdjc 

 at extremity of the foot. Visceral sac very pale uchraceous, 

 passing to pale greenish grey at apex, spotted milky white, the 

 .spots larger towards apex, no black ones at all. 



The right shell- lobe long and narrow, and left similar. 

 The genitalia as in the genus. There is a sharp close bend 

 in the penis-shaft ; the accessory gland is short and sac-like, 

 near the muscle-retractor. Flagellum long. Spcrmatheca 

 on a short stalk, bulbous. Unfortunately it did not hold a 

 spermatophore.
