404 I\Ir. H. C. Burniip on South- African 



misquoted. It therefore seems desirable to substitute the 

 following description : — 



Shell minute, umbilicatej sliortly cylindrical, thin, 

 shining^ horn-coloured ; spire cylindrical, being almost equally 

 wide at the third, fourth, and tiftli whorls ; sutures impressed, 

 apex rounded ; whorls about 5^, convex, deeply closely 

 transversely striate, excepting the apical wliorls, which are 

 smooth, the last rounded below and compressed about the 

 umbilicus ; aperture erect, somewhat quadrate, rounded above 

 and below, exceeding ^ the height of the shelh Peristome 

 slightly thickened and expanded, widely so at the columellar 

 margin (which in the type is longitudinally chipped), paler 

 than the rest of the shell, with labrum slightly bent inwards 

 about the middle and columella nearly straight. There are 

 no apertural processes. 



Height 1-57, width 0-9 mm. (type in Coll. E. E. Sjkes). 



Hab. Griqualand East. 



In the very large series of shells from divers localities in 

 South Africa that I was privileged to examine no duplicate 

 of this unique specimen, with its very distinctive characters, 

 could be identified. 



6. Pupa far quhari, M. & P. 



The dimensions of the shell figured in Melvill and Pon- 

 sonby's paper are : — 



Height 4-24, width 2'07 mm. 



7. Pupa fontayia, Krauss. 



Of the eight forms consigned to the synonymy, T have seen 

 well-authenticated specimens of four only, viz. amphodon, 

 eh'zahethensis, endoplax, nud frustillum -, and I agree with the 

 authors that these names cannot stand. Of the remaining 

 four, viz. charyhdica, custodita^ keroea, and omicronaria, 

 liaving seen no representatives, I can offer no opinion; but I 

 am prepared to accept their views. 



On p. 75 of the Survey, 10th line from the bottom, the 

 substitution of the word lalmm for labrum destroys the 

 meaning of the sentence. 



The following localities may now be added : — 



Edendale, near Maritzburg, and at the mouth of the 

 Tongaat River on the Natal coast. 



Boeltger (1910) places this species, with P. tetrodus, Bttg., 

 in PitpiUa (see note at foot of p. 411).
