18/2.] MR. E.T. HIGGINS ON NEW SHELLS FROM ECUADOR. 685 



2. Description of new Species of Shells discovered by Mr. 

 Clarence Buckley in Ecuador. By Edmund Thomas 

 Higgins, F.Z.S. &c. 



[Keceived May 14, 1872.] 



(Plate LVI.) 



Thinking that the untiring energy and perseverance of Mr. Buckley 

 deserve more than a mere passing notice, I have named two species 

 of shells and a subgenus after hiin. I append a list of the principal 

 species obtained by him during his last journey in Ecuador.
