slight depression upon the outer surface of the whorl. 



I have much pleasure in naming this very interesting species 

 after Mr. W. E. Collinge, the energetic editor of this journal. ($m.) 



Genus PAPUINA Martens (Vol. VII, p. 3). 



For many of the following notes and corrections the writer is 

 indebted to Mr. Chas. Hedley of the Australian Museum, Sydney, 

 N. S. Wales, who, both in letters and in his excellent paper on the 

 " Land Molluscan fauna of British New Guinea " has made most 

 valuable additions to our knowledge of this group. 



Page 5. P. CHANCEI Cox. The locality given is incorrect. It 

 has been collected by Rev. G. Brown at Lauru Village, New Ire- 

 land, and Biara, New Britain. The original description and figure 

 were from a deformed specimen. The normal shell is H. amphi- 

 zona Pils., which now becomes a synonym. 



Page 11. P. DAMPIERI A.ng., is not from the Louisiade Archi- 

 pelago. 



Page 15. H. BEATRIX Ang., is a synonym of P. miser Cox, p. 

 20. 



Page 16. According to Dr. Cox (in litt.), H. splendescens 

 Cox, brenchleyi Braz., and mendana Ang. are synonymous. This 

 seems to me to be the case, specimens of the former having been 

 sent me by Cox. The first name, P. SPLENDESCENS Cox, has 

 priority. 



Page 25. H. lacteolota (not " lacteolata ") is in all probability a 

 variety of P. BRAZIERS. 



Page 29. H. horderi Sowb. is a synonym of P. LEONARD! T. C., 

 p. 32.

 tata Tap. Can. (p. 40) is a synonym.
