Hab. Kapaur (Doherty); Islands of Sorong and Ramoi 
(Canefri) ; Waigiou (Wallace). 
The specimen from Kapaur agrees precisely with the type 
of the species in size, colour, form, and sculpture.

Papuina lacteolota, Smith, var., Pilsbry, op. cit. vol. vii. p. 25. 
Hab. Kurudu, East of Jobi, New Guinea (Doherty). 
This variety is smaller than the type, has a narrower body- 
whorl, fewer dark bands, and very little of the milky cloudiness 
upon them. ‘There are five zones on the body-whorl, and of 
these two revolve up the spire. 
Papuina plurizonata (Ad. & Reeve). 
Helix plurizonata, Ad. & Rve., Voy. ‘Samarang,’ p. 62, pl. xvi. fig. 9. 
Hab. Takar, north-west of New Guinea (Doherty). 
The original locality assigned to this species—namely, 
Mindanao, Philippines—is evidently an error, and has never 
been confirmed. The specimen collected at Takar is almost 
identical in form and colour with the type in the Museum 
collection. ‘The latter has a hole in the last whorl behind 
the lip, as if it had been threaded and attached to something. 
If it really was brought from Mindanao, it is quite certain 
that it must have been taken there by human agency.

Hab. Kapaur, 8.W. New Guinea (Doherty). 
This species appears to be rather variable in colour. The 
type has the base uniformly dark chestnut-brown, the rest of 
the shell being yellowish buff, excepting a fine opaque luteous 
line upon the keel which revolves up the spire and a narrow 
dark brown zone beneath the suture. ‘The aperture is 
whitish within and the peristome tinged with dark brown at 
the edge. 
A specimen collected by Mr. Doherty has a similar style 
of coloration, but the colours are all intensified, the base being 
darker, the keel orange, the peristome broadly margined with
