typical form has two bands, one above and one below the 

 middle. In a specimen in the Museum the lower band is 

 wanting, and in the example from Takar there are three 

 2ones — a dark one around the periphery and two lighter 

 brown ones above. In Herr Strubell's collection there is a 

 form of this species from Batchian in the Moluccas. It 

 consequently becomes a question whether the name moluc- 

 censis given by Pf eiffer should not be revived '^

The specimens examined belong to the var. /3 of Tapparone 

 Canefri, characterized by the rose-coloured peristome and a 

 single blackish band upon the upper surface.

Perhaps only a variety of P. It'tuus, Lesson, or of P. labium, 

 F^russac, differing in the sharper angulation and flatter whorls. 

 P. Bevayn, Hedley, belongs to the same group.

Hab. Takar. 



The beautiful specimens from this locality closely approach 

 the type as regards form, but differ in colour. The zones 

 (four or five both above and below) are much darker and 

 more defined, and the upper whorls are blackish purple, but 

 more or less pale beneath the suture.
