typical form has two bands, one above and one below the 
middle. In a specimen in the Museum the lower band is 
wanting, and in the example from Takar there are three 
zones—a dark one around the periphery and two lighter 
brown ones above. In Herr Strubell’s collection there is a 
form of this species from Batchian in the Moluccas. It 
consequently becomes a question whether the name moluc- 
censis given by Pfeiffer should not be revived *.

The specimens examined belong to the var. 8 of Tapparone 
Canefri, characterized by the rose-coloured peristome and a 
single blackish band upon the upper surface. 
Papuina kapaurensis. (Pl. 1X. figs. 11, 12.) 
Testa depresse turbinata, umbilicata, pallide fulva, supra peripheriam 
zona saturate castanea cincta, infra suturam albo lineata; spira 
breviter conica, ad apicem mammillata; anfractus 54, superiores 
24 convexi, ceteri planiusculi, oblique striati, ultimus ad peri- 
pheriam vel rotunde vel acute carinatus, vix descendens ; apertura 
pallide purpureo-albida in medio unizonata; peristoma album, 
superne late expansum, marginibus columellari et inferiore latis- 
sime expansis et reflexis.

Perhaps only a variety of P. Mituus, Lesson, or of P. labium, 
Férussac, differing in the sharper angulation and flatter whorls. 
P. Bevani, Hedley, belongs to the same group.

The beautiful specimens from this locality closely approach 
the type as regards form, but differ in colour. The zones 
(four or five both above and below) are much darker and 
nore defined, and the upper whorls are blackish purple, but 
inore or less pale beneath the suture.
