342 DR. O. BOETTGER ON NEW CLAUSILI^. [May], 



A nearly typical f. kumensis lias been sent me by Herr O. Gold- 

 fuss from Steni, EabcEa, which I think may be "Stoura" in south 

 Eubcea. But it is a little smaller, pruinose, the shell thicker, the 

 peristome less expanded. Alt. 15-17, lat. 3i-3f mm. ; alt. apert. 

 3\, lat. apert. 3 mm. 



Closely allied to this is a second form of kumensis from the south 

 extremity of Eubnea (Spratt). Its neck-crests form a clear transition 

 from O. hicristata to C. Jrephissice, Roth ; but I do not venture to 

 unite these two species from only a single specimen. 



Var. cANALicuLATA, P., Bocttger, I. c. p. 187. 



Admiral Spratt collected this variety on Mount Dagri, north ex- 

 tremity of the Delphi mountains, at 2000 feet alt., which agrees very 

 well with my f. major from Mount Delphi. Alt. 16^, lat. 4 mm. ; 

 alt. apert. 3^, lat. apert. 3| mm. 



The little specimens from Mount Soukaro, north of Koumi, ob- 

 tained by the Admiral at 2000-3000 alt., are almost smaller than the 

 type from Mount Delphi ; and the costulation of the neck seems to be 

 more distant. Alt, 12-13, lat. 2|~3 mm. ; alt. apert. 2|-, lat. apert. 

 2^ mm.

Var. DEBiLiTATA, mihi. 



Differt a C. kephissise, Both, typica t. imilto minore, anfr. 

 solum 10, peinomphalo angustiore, cristis basalibus aliquantulutn 

 minus validiorihus, interlamellari eplicata. Alt, 14^-15, lat. 

 35-31 mm. ; alt. apert. 3, lat. apert. 2^J mm. 

 Bab. Mount Ktypa, Boeotia (Sjjratt'). 



This remarkable little variety forms by its feebler neck-crests a 

 quasi passage to C. bicolor. P., from Andro island, but resembles 

 O. IcephissicB, Roth, in colour, sculpture, and habitat. In my opinion, 

 however, it is doubtless nearer to the species of the continent. 



Var. piKERMiANA, Rotli, Boettger, I. c. p, 199. 



It is curious to find this variety, only known till now from 

 continental Attica, among the inhabitants of the island of Zea 

 (Tzia), where Admiral Spratt picked it up. It is certainly iden- 

 tical with typical specimens of this variety from Pikermi, and 

 also scarcely to be distinguished from specimens from Pan's Grotto 

 near Marathon (O, Gold/uss). x\lt, 16^, lat, 4 mm. ; alt, apert. 

 3^, lat. apert. 2^ mm. 



52. Clausilia rothi, P., Boettger, /, c, p, 204. 



This species has been collected by Admiral Spratt in " typical " 

 specimens on the island of Thermia ; and now I believe that C. rothi 

 does not inhabit Syru — a habitat I always considered doubtful 

 (I. c. p. 206).
