Hub. New Mecklenburg Island {C. Wahnes). 



This distinct new species can be readily distinguished by 

 its exserted spire; in that respect it reseml)les C. ar(/il/aC'ia, 

 Fur., from which, however, it differs greatly in its other 

 characters. 



ChJoritis leuehrica, sp. n. 



Shell depressed globose, spire slightly exserted, rather 

 solid, moderately excavately umbilicated, dark brown, with 

 numerous hair-scars ; wdiorls -if, moderately convex, with in- 

 conspicuous oblique lines of growth, last whorl descending to 

 just below periphery ; suture slightly channelled ; aperture 

 subcircular, interior brown, moderately oblique; })eristome 

 somewiiat expanded, reddish brown, luaigins curved, connected 

 by an extremely tiiiii callus, columellar n)argin thickened and

Hah. New Mecklenburg Island (C. Wahnes). 



Closely allied to C. multisetosa, but easily separated on 

 examination of the hair-scars, which are almost twice as 

 numeious in that species. C. temhricais lai-ger, and the last 

 whorl descends even slightly lower than in C uiiiltisctos.i. 



Papuina densestriata, sp. n. 



Shell conical, moderately solid, imperforate, sculptured 

 above and below (except the smootli nucleus) with close-set 

 oblique costate stria*, dark brown, middle whorls ornamented 

 at the suture by short oblique flakes of light brown, suture 

 margined by a light thread; whorls scarcely six, first some- 

 Avhat papilliform, slightly convex, the last carinate at the 

 periphery; aperture very oblique, subovate, tiai-k within; 

 ])eristome broadly ex|)anded, somewhat reflected at the lower 

 right margin, triangularly dilated at point of insertion, margins 

 connected by a thin transparent callus, the extreme edge o£ 

 outer margin and the inner edge of columellar margin light, 

 the other portions very dark brown.
