Vivijiara henzadensis from Henzada, Burma, constitutes the type of a new 

 subgeneric group of south-eastern Asia, in which the operculum is peculiarly modi- 

 fied, Dr. Pilsbry proposes the name Idiopoma for this group. Ampullaria winklcyi 

 Henzada, and Donax bertini and Fossarus capensis (South Africa) are also new.

 ships of the genus Amphidromus. Proc. IVIalac. Soc. Lond., 1901, vol. iv, 

 pp. 158 — 162, pi. xvi. 



From an examination of specimens of Amphidromus ( Beddomca ) intermedins, 

 Rve., albizonatus, Rve., and ceylanicus, Pfr., Dr. Pilsbry finds that they agree in 

 their general anatomy with Aiiq^hidromiis (s. s. ), and he is not inclined to accord to 

 Peddvmca, G. Nev., more than sub-generic rank.

The author briefly discusses certain questions of distribution and classification, 

 and gives a list of the species described since the beginning of 1900, together with 

 the somewhat extensive synonymy established during that jieriod. The total number 

 of new species and varieties is 129, of which 22 are known to be synonyms, while 

 possibly a half-dozen more are doubtful.
