Through the kindness of Mr. Edgar Smith we are enabled 

 to give a iigure of this species from a specimen in the Nat. 

 Hist. Museum. 



27. FujKi (Fau.vulus) pereximia (M. & P.). 

 (PI. II. fig. 25.)

 pi. i. lig. 6, 



Hah. Port Elizabeth &c. A species of very wide distri-

We niay add, in conclusion, that we concur with Dr. H. A. 

 Pilsbry (Man. Conch, ser. 2, vol. xviii. p. 33(3) in removing 

 what he rightly ternis the mouotypie genus Cceliaxis (sp. 

 C. layardi, Ad. & Aug. P. Z. S. 1865, p. 54, pi. ii. fig. 1 : 

 Hab. Cape Colony) to a place among the Achatinidffi, 

 subfam, Coeliaxiiia'j in company with the little-known genera 

 Cryptelasmus, Pilsb., from Trinidad, Thoinea, Gir., and 

 Pyrgina^ Creef, from I. ISt. Thome, and likewise the Lower
