Xiy. Peruvian Province. 



The coast of Peru and Chili, from Callao to Valparaiso, affords 

 a large and characteristic assemblage of shells, of which only a 

 small part have been catalogued, although the district has been 

 well explored, especially by D'Orbigny, Cuming, and Philippi. 

 M. D'Orbigny collected 160 species, one-half of which are 

 common to Peru and Chili, whilst only One s|)ecies {Siphonaria 

 Lessonii) found at Callao was also met with at Payta, a little 

 beyond the boundary of the region. Mr. Cuming obtained 222 

 species on the coast of Peru, and 172 in Chili. Hup^ has- 

 described 201 species in Gay's work on Chili. The island of 

 Juan Fernandez is included within this province. Only a few 

 of the Peruvian mollusks can be here enumerated.
