 Acusta ravida, absent, inserted high, present, sevYl coal'sc'nt 



Cathaicapyrrhozona, absent, inserted low, absent, many br'nches. 

 Cathaica przewalskii, ? inserted low, ? 2-branched. 

 Plectotropis vulv. present, inserted low, absent, 2-branched.

 Euhadra qusesita, present, inserted low, present, many. 

 Euhadra peliomph. present, inserted low, present, many. 

 Euhadra brandti, present, inserted low, present, many. 



It will be noticed that Plectotropis, Mastigeulota and Euhadra 

 possess a flagellum ; the other sections lacking it, probably by de- 

 generation, as this organ was, in all likelihood, present in the primi- 

 tive Belogonous stock. Among the true Helices Eremina and 

 Euparypha have also lost the flagellum, by a parallel process.
