specimens are from the same locality. There is, however, one thing 

 that puzzles me: Pfeiffer, in his Norn. Hel. Yiv., 1881, p. 57, gives 

 '■'■Helix lasiodon, Mor. [Siam] " as a synonym. He gives the habitat 

 of insculpta as "Ins. Norfolk," "Siam" being only mentioned in 

 brackets after the synonym. Tryon, on the other hand (Man. Conch., 

 ser. II, vol. ii, p. 48), has the habitat: "Ins. Norfolk, ? Siam." It 

 seems to me hardly possible that the same species should occur in two 

 such widely separated localities, and I am confident that some member 

 of our Society will kindly clear up this doubtful point. Was Morelet 

 mistaken about the habitat when creating his species ?
