Differs from dupetithouarsi and sequoicola in much darker color, 

 more inflated aperture, depressed form, greater breadth, and enclosed 

 band of the same color as the body of the shell. 



Habitat, Santa Cruz mountains midway between Soquel creek and 

 Skyland. 



REMARKS ON SOME LAND AND FRESH-WATER SHELLS FROM THE 

 NEW HEBRIDES, WITH DESCRIPTION OF NEW SPECIES. 



BY C. F. ANCEY. 



The following species represented in my collection were obtained 

 from various sources, principally from my regretted friend E. L. 

 Layard, the well-known student, and from Dr. Ph. Francois, who 

 collected somewhat extensively in the Archipelago several years ago, 

 and has explored chiefly the northern group. To the latter I am 

 particularly obliged for useful data on several of the localities he vis- 

 ited, and for the liberal gift of specimens, most of these, however, 

 having been examined by the late Mr. Mabille and forming part of 

 the collection of the Paris Museum. 



1. Lamprocystis Layardi (Thomson). 



Hab. Vate island (Glisson, fide Layard). This form is united to 

 L. gultida Pfr., by Mr. E. R. Sykes (Proc. Malac. Soc, London, 

 1902, p. 196), but having specimens of both I do not share this opin- 

 ion, the general aspect being the same, but the columellar insertion 

 being different. It was well described and figured by Mr. J. H. 

 Thomson (Proc. Zool. Soc, 1885, p. 25, with fig.). 



2. Macrochlamys (?) Annatonensis (Pfr.). 

 Hab. Vate island (Glisson). 



This form is closely allied to " Zonites " Vitiensis Mousson, of the 

 Viti group. The generic reference is doubtful, but I consider they 

 are more nearly related to Macrochlamys than to the European gen- 

 era Vitrea or Polita. 



3. Endodonta tenuiscripla Anc. 

 Hab. Mallicollo island. 



The original description states that the shell is u widely umbili- 

 cated." One must read " not widely umbilicated " (see Nautilus, 

 1896, p. 90). 



4. Draparnaudia singularis Pfr., var. diminuta Anc. 

 Hab. Aneitum (= Annaton) island (fide E. L. Layard).
