100 Mr.-'T. V. Wollaston on Additions to Madeiran Coleoptera. 
Pfeiffer proposed his section Hainesia in the ‘ Mal. Blatter’ for 
September. 
The following are the remarks published by Gould on Cyclo- 
stoma Pollex, with the characters of Pollicaria :— 
“This singular shell may possibly be Cyclostoma Chrysalis, Pfr., 
but is larger and destitute of lines and indentations. That shell 
is said to come from Arva [probably Ava]. Megalomastoma 
Myersii, Haines, is another species of the same type, but less 
distorted and more cylindrical. . These shells, coming from the 
same region, to which many others will doubtless hereafter be 
added, I regard as constituting a natural group, probably generic, 
for which I would propose the’ name Pollicaria. Shell sub- 
perforate, chrysalidiform, ventrally flattened; spire secund ; 
aperture subcircular, truncate posteriorly within the peritreme.”

X. like the X. linearis, but with the head a little more abruptly 
truncated behind (though not quite so suddenly as in the X. 
punctulaius), and much more sparingly punctured, and with the 
frontal sulci a little longer, wider, and deeper,—the inner ones, 
moreover, being a trifle less curved, and the outer ones carried 
further back on to the forehead, from the front margin of the 
eye. Prothorax with a longitudinal row of about nine punctures 
on either side of its disk, and with the lateral ones fewer than in 
the X. dinearis, and with an evident tendency to be arranged ina
