168 MR. A. GARRETT ON THE TERRESTRIAL [Feb. 15, 



6. Nanina HOYTI. 



Nanina hoyti, Garrett, Amer. Journ. Conch. 1872, p. 221, pi. 19. 

 fig. 6; Schmeltz, Cat. Mus. Godeff. v. p. 91. 



Helix hoyti, Pfeififer, Mon. Hel. vii. p. 525. 



Common in Taviuni, Gomea, and Lanthala. 



It may be distinguished from N. cascu by the pale brownish 

 sutural band, darker spire, tawny columella, and the coarse wrinkles 

 just beneath the suture. Major diam. 19 to 20 millim. 



7 . Nanina otare.-e. 



Nanina otarece, Garrett, Amer. Journ. Conch., 1872, p. 222, 

 pi. 19. fig. 8; Schmeltz, Cat. Mus. Godeff. v. p. 91. 



Helix otarece, Pfeiffer, Mon. Hel. vii. p. 524. 



I discovered numerous examples of this fine species on the north- 

 west portion of Vanua Levu. 



It is about the same size as N. nouleti, and like that species has 

 coarse strise of growth and faint spiral lines, the former being larger 

 and much more uniform in size, and the latter on our s])ecies only 

 discernible by the aid of a lens. It may be at once distinguished by 

 the fulvous-brown colour and the large circular pale cream-white 

 basal patch. The last whorl is also more depressed than in N, 

 nouleti. Major diam. 29 millim. 



8. Nanina polita. 



Nanina nouleti, var. polita, Mousson, Journ. de Conch. 1865, 

 p. 190. 



A few examples found beneath dead leaves on the eastern part of 

 Viti Levu. 



It is smaller, more depressed, smoother, more polished, and the 

 whorls are flatter than in N. nouleti. The base is also darker, and 

 there is not the least trace of spiral striae. It may, I think, take 

 specific rank. 



9. Nanina tenella. 



Nanina tenella, Garrett, Amer. Journ. Conch. 1872, p. 222, pi. 19. 

 fig. 7. 



Helix tenella, Pfeiffer, Mon. Hel. vii. p. 525. 



Not uncommon in forests on the south-eastern part of the Vanua 

 Levu and Kioa. 



It is a fragile, smooth, polished, transparent, whitish horn-coloured 

 species shaped like N. hoyti, but only 1/ millim. in diameter. Its 

 paler colour and thinner transparent texture will at once separate it 

 from N. casca. 



10. Nanina godeffroyana. 



Nanina godeffro%jana, Garrett, Amer. Journ. Conch. 1872, p. 223, 

 pi. 19. fig. 19. 



Helix godeffroyana, Pfeiffer, Mon. Hel. vii. p. 524. 



This fine large species was taken in considerable numbers in the 

 interior of the north-east portion of Vanua Levu.
