260 MR. E. A. SMITH ON THE MOLLTJSCA [May 6, 



whitish zone af- the periphery and a very narrow one a little above ; 

 also a broad band beneath the sxiture, and the linear one, above 

 referred to, immediately above. The remaining specimens differ in 

 having, above the peripheral white band, a rich brown one, which is 

 continuous up the spire just above the sutural line. 



2. Helix (Philina) bigonia, Ferussac. 



Hub. Melanipa, Basilan Straits, Philippines. 



The single dead shell at hand is of a rather depressed form, the 

 body-whorl in consequence being more acute or subcarinate around 

 the middle. The species has been recorded from Saniar, another 

 island of the Philippine group. 



3. Helix (Planispira) zonaria, Linn. 

 Hab. Amboyna. 



4. Helix (Planispira) tortilabia, Lesson. 



Hab. Amboyna, Moluccas, and Am Islands. 



The specimens from both these localities belong to the variety D 

 in Martens's account of the land-shells of the ' Preussische Expedi- 

 tion nach Ost-Asien,' being wax-yellow, unhanded, and having a 

 white peristome. On p. 392 of this work he questions the correct- 

 ness of Amboyna as the home of this species ; but in this instance 

 the Cumingian collection is not at fault, as so frequently is the case. 



5. Helix (Albersia) zonulata, Ferussac. 

 Hab. Aru Islands, and Amboyna, Moluccas. 



6. Helix (Cam-ena) sanziana, Hombron and Jacquinot. 



Hab. Melanipa Island, Philippines. 



This species was collected by Mr. Cuming at Samboanga, south of 

 the island of Mindanao. This place is not far from Malanipa, a 

 very small island in the strait between the former, Mindanao, and 

 Basilan to the south. 



7. Helix (Geotrochus) pileus, Miiller. 

 Hab. Aru Islands. 



8. Helix (Geotrochus) g^rtneriana, Pfeiffer. 

 Hab. Aru Islands. 



9. Helix (Helicobulimus) sarcinosa, Ferussac. 

 Hab, Hoilo, Philippines. 



10. BuLiMus (Orthostylxjs) faunus, Broderip. 

 Hab. Cebu, Philippines. 



11. BuLiMUs (Canistrum) fulgetrum, Broderip. 

 Hab, Hoilo, Philippines.
