however, be mentioned that Dr. Boettger lately made out 

 that some Maltese specimens of this genus, which had 

 been previously considered to be H. cellaria, should be 

 called H. Draparnaldi var. 



ClausiMa syracusana Phil. The Maltese shell is generally 

 separated from the Sicilian under the name of C. oscitans 

 Fer., of which C. mamotica Gulia and C. scalaris Pfeiffer 

 (C delicatce. Gulia), are given as sub-species by Boettger, 

 who has also lately described another species from Malta, 

 under the name of C. imitatrix (' Jahrb.,' vi. p. 120, t. 3, 

 fig. 14). 



Cyclostoma melitense Sow. would appear to be rather a 

 variety of C sulcatum Drap. than of C. elegans. Both 

 these species inhabit Sicily. See ' Pfr. Mon. Pneum.,' 

 3rd supplement, p. 179, where C. sulcatum appears as 

 C. buccinulum Bott. 



It only remains to add that the writer will be most happy 

 to receive any remarks from persons interested in the subject, 

 and to shew them such specimens as his collection contains.

NOTE ON EULIMA CANDIDA OF MARRAT.*

Zoological Department, British Museum. 



When this magnificent species was described, its exact 

 locality, a desideratum which I am now able to supply, was 

 unknown. Through the liberality of the Rev. R. W. J. Smart 

 the British Museum has recently become possessed of two very 

 fine specimens which he informs me came from the Island of 

 Formosa, off the coast of China. Judging from these shells the 

 upper and right-hand figures given by Marrat are not quite 

 correct, for only the lower part of the continuous ascending
