Thirty species are enumerated from Palawan or Paragua, 

 and if Euplecta hoholensis, Pfr., be distinct from E. ceOuensis, 

 Mollendorff, it will add one more to the total. It is quoted 

 from Palawan by Hidalgo *, but not in Cooke's paper. 



The most interesting addition to the fauna occurring in the 

 present collection is the new species of Lagochilus, a genus 

 hitherto unknown from Balabac or Palawan. It occurs, 

 however, sparingly in other parts of the Philippine group and 

 also to the south in Borneo &c. 



1. Macrochlamys pseustes. (PL XVIII. figs. 1-3.) 



Testa angustissime perforata, depressa, orbicularis, siiperne fusca, 

 infra pallidior, nitidissima, siibpellucida ; anfractus 6, regulariter et 

 lentecrescentes, convexi, sutura profunda discreti, lineis incrementi 

 supra distiuctioribus quam infra sculpti, ultimus ad peripheriam 

 acute rotundatus ; spira brevissima, ad apieem obtusa ; apertura 

 oblique lunata ; perist. tenuo, margiue columellari leviter incras- 

 sato, supra umbilicum angustissimum breviter reflexo. 



Diam. maj. 21 millim., min. 19 ; alt. 10. 



Hab. Palawan. 



This species is remarkable for the convex whorls and the 

 deep suture. It is of a rather rich brown colour on the upper 

 surface, but considerably paler beneath. The lines of growth 

 are rather strongly marked above, so that they present an 

 almost subplicate appearance. The deep suture is bordered 

 with a very narrow dark brown line, which, however, is not 

 noticeable without a lens. 



The genus Alacrochlamys has not hitherto been recorded 

 from Palawan, but there are several allied species found in 

 North Borneo which have been placed in the section Everettia 

 by Godwin-Austen (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1891, pp. 33-36). 



2. Lamprocystis chlororhaphe. (PI. XVIII. figs. 4-6.) 



Testa parva, angustissime perforata, depi'esse conoidea, tenuis, 

 pellucida, nitida, cornea ; anfractus 5-6, lente accrescentes, cou- 

 vexiusculi, infra suturam anguste albido-margiuati, vix striati, 

 ultimus ad peripheriam acute rotundatus ; spira breviter couoidea, 

 ad apiccm obtusa ; apertura oblique lunata ; peristoma simplex, 

 margiue columellari leviter incrassato, sed vix reflexo. 



Diam. maj. 6 millim., min. 5^ ; alt. 4. 



Hah. Palawan.
