Vitrina (26 sp.), widely scattered through North and Central 

 Europe, North-west America and Greenland, Abyssinia, Mada- 

 gascar and South Africa, Himalayas to Burmah and Australia. 

 Species since described have more than doubled the number in 

 this genus.

 has been increased to about 40 species. 



Sagda (19 sp.), Antilles only. Very few new species, if any, 

 have been described. 



Zonites (12 sp.), South Europe, with one species of a distinct 

 type in Guatemala. The number of species in this genus has 

 been since about tripled. 



Leucochroa (11 sp.), Mediterranean region to Syria and 

 Arabia Petrea. 



Simpulopsis (7 sp.), Bahia, Antilles, and far away in the 

 Solomon Islands. Two or three have been added.

Columna (3 sp.), West Africa, Princes Islands and Madagascar. 



Stenopus (2 sp.), Island of St. Vincent (West Indies.)

Fossil species of Helix, Bulimus, Achatina, Balca, and Clau- 

 silia, are found in all the Tertiary formations ; while a species 

 of Pupa (as already stated) occurs in the carboniferous forma- 

 tion. For interesting details of the distribution of the sub- 

 genera and species of Achatinella in the Sandwich Islands, see a 

 paper by Rev. J. T. Gulick in the Journal of the Linnean 

 Society. (Zoology, vol. xi. p. 496.)
