ON CHLORITIS (AUSTROCHLORITIS) PELODES, 

 PFR., AND PSEUDOPRUNUM, PILS. 



By HUGH C. FULTON. 



In Vol. viii, p. 271, pi. 55. figs. 13—15. of the "Manual of 

 Cunchology," Dr. Pilsbry describes and gives the name of psciidiiiiniunni to 

 the form identified by authors as pruiium, Fer., which form is, no doubt, 

 as Pilsbry suggests, a species of Badide^. After the description Pilsbry 

 adds a note : — 'This form might be referred to H. jjcloilr^ Pfr., were it not 

 for the fact that the colour and measurements given by Pfeiffer do not 

 correspond with it." 



Having examined the type specimen of //. pfUxlca in the Puitish 

 Museum, I have no hesitation in saying that it is the same form as 

 pmudoprunum., Pils. 



With regard to the measurements, the species varies, some specimens 

 being moie globular than others, and as to colour, I can quite understand 

 some describing the sheilas reddish-brown, (l^feiffer puts it " rubello-fusca") 

 or as light-brown, as Pilsbry puts it, others might term it a dirty-white colour. 



ON DRYMAEUS EURYOSTOMUS, PHIL., AND 

 HAMADRYAS, PHIL. 



By HUGH C. FULTON. 



The British .Museum has recently arcjuired a finf series of specimens 

 from Chanchamayo, Peru, which show that the above species are one and 

 the same. 



I). I'/iri/fixfomu^ differs only in coloration from /Hnua'h->/a<, the former 

 being of a uniform creamy-white colour, whilst li(iii)((ilrija>^ lias the same 

 groundcolour, but is ornamented with irregular brown stri[>es. judging from 

 the series in the British Museum, this species varies greatly in coloration, 

 much in the same way as meiiihii'litius, Cr., and roij/tdfa, Pils. Mr Edgar 

 A. Smith, I.S.O., and Mr. S. 1. Ua Costa also agree as to the idnUity of 

 the two forms in cjuestion. Both were described in the Ahrlak P>iatt., 

 1867, xiv. p 68., but the name euryostomuti appears first on the page.
