apex lighter in colour, covered with short white hairs and 

 hair-scars ; whorls 4^, first 3| slightly convex, last rather 

 inflated near its termination, then somewliat constricted 

 behind the peristome, the last third of body-whorl descending 

 to a point just below the periphery; aperture subcircular, 

 bluish grey witliin ; peristome rather broadly expanded, white 

 below, upper margin brownish.

Hab. Halmahera Island (Watei'stradt). 



Nearest to P. Kurri^ Pfr., of wliich species it may be but 

 a variety ; it can, however, be easily separated from that 

 species by its very dark coloration. 



P. cingarus is not so compressed in front, and its peristome 

 is slightly more oblique and somewhat more circular than in 

 Kiirri. 



Kaliella microbe mbi\v, sp. u. (PL IX. fig. 6.) 



Shell trochiform, narrowly umbilicated, apex wliite, re- 

 mainder of a light horn-colour, rather thin, almost smooth, 

 the oblique striae or lines of growth only visible under a lens ; 

 whorls 8, very gradually increasing, slightly convex, the last 

 having a rather obtuse keel at the periphery, underside of 

 last whorl microscopically spirally striated ; aperture sub- 

 ovate ; peristome scarcely thickened, slightly expanded at the 

 columellar and basal portions, triangularly dilated at point of 

 inseition.

The nearest species known to me appears to be Kaliella 

 cuneiis, Heude, which is probably a Ganesella ; but that has 

 one whorl less and it appears to have conspicuous oblique 

 strise. 



Some time ago I sent a specimen of microhembix to the late 

 Father Ileude, who replied that it was not his cuneus.
