Islands of Selayar, Jampea, and Kalao. 145 



Smaller than Macrochlamys indiferens, Smith, from South 

 elebes, but consisting of an additional whorl, and of a paler 

 ilour. 



Macrochlamys minuta, Martens, from Selajar is a closely 

 Hied form. 



Kaliella iiidifferenSj Boettger.

Hob. Amboina and Saparua {Boettger) ; Java (m Brit. 

 Mus.^fide G. B. Soioerhy) ; Kalao {Everett). 



The specimens from Java were obtained from Mr. Sowerby, 

 vho doubtless received them with this locality and the above 

 lame. They agree precisely with the examples from Kalao.

Ilah. South Celebes {Martens and Wallace) ; Saleyer 

 Island {Martens and Everett). 



This species is excessively variable not only in colour, as 

 pointed out by Martens, but also with regard to the texture 

 of tlie shell. Some of the specimens collected by Mr. Everett 

 are quite thin and transparent (var. tenuis, mihi, fig. 2 5), 

 and one could hardly believe that they belonged to the same 

 species as the strong solid sJiells found along with them on 

 the same island if tliere were no connecting-links or inter- 

 mediate forms to judge by. The series at hand, however, 

 seems to point to the conclusion that they really are nothing 

 more than a variety, which probably was found either at a 

 different elevation or living under somewhat different con- 

 ditions to the stouter forms. 1 could add several colour- 

 varieties to those already described, but without the aid of 

 coloured figures it is difficult to convey to others the differences 

 of the various shades of colour.
