Hob. Kapaiir and Takar. 



The type figured appears to liave been either somewhat 

 young or else a small example of the species, for those in the 

 present collection are considerably larger, having a diameter 

 of '22 millim. In some specimens an infra-peri |)heral colour- 

 zone is more or less observable, and those from Takar have 

 the spire rather more depressed than the typical form. The 

 species (?) is probably a form of C. distomellus, Sow., in 

 which the outer margin of the peristome is less developed 

 than in normal examples.

The slightly more elevated and conical spire and the 

 broadly and flatly expanded peristome are the features which 

 separate this form from L. vitreum. Perhaps it is hardly 

 sufficiently distinct to deserve specific rank. The type is 

 described as " ochraceo-fulvida," but some specimens are 

 ornamented with numerous fine spiral lines. One example 

 is purplish red, spirally lineated, and has tlie peristome of 

 an intensely black tint.

This and L. Poirierii of Canefri are the only species 

 belonging to this genus as yet known from New Guinea. 

 The spiral lines above the periphery are coarser than those 

 beneath, and the lines of growth are well marked by 

 epidermal threads.
