1871.] F. Stoliczka— Notes on Terrestrial Mollm ca. 237 



The Indo-Malayan species which have presently to be referred 

 to Conulemative Helix attegia, (with culmen, Blf.), infula, cacuminifera, 

 arx tm&palmira, Benson, H gratulator and confinis, Blf,, Con. liri- 

 cincta, n. sp., and probably also Nanina apicata, Blf. and H. ty- 

 phasma, Pfr., from South India and Ceylon, H. leucophlcea, Martens, 

 from Celebes, and a few others. 



The genus is, as regards form and structure of the shell, closely 

 allied to Semper's Martensia* (Eeisen im Archipel der Phil. &c., 

 2ter Theil, ivter Band, p. 42), but in this the right shell-lobe of 

 the mantle is said to be entirely absent and the penis has two coecal 

 appendages, which have not been observed in Conulema. The 

 presence or absence of an amatorial gland cannot be accepted as a 

 generic character, which will be evident from what I shall presently 

 say in comparing the generative organs of 0. attegia with those of 

 C. infula. 



For Hutton's Helix fastigiata which may be identical with Pfeif- 

 fer's Helix Barahpoorensis, and H. aspirans, W. and H. Blf., Mr. 

 W. T. Blanford proposed the name Kaliella (Ann. and Mag. Nat. 

 Hist., Feb. 1863, vol. xi, p. 83). The anatomy of H Barahpoorensis 

 closely resembles that of Conulema, but the dentition is different, that 

 species having fewer teeth in a transverse row and a great number 

 of the median ones enlarged, all being squarish, not pectiniform.

The animal is of a dull whitish colour ; the larger warts of the 

 body, often possessing a pink tinge, are arranged in oblique rows ; 

 the pedicles are grey, and this colour also extends over a part of the 

 back ; ridge of the posterior part of the foot ashy grey ; mantle lobes 

 light, or sometimes pinkish-grey ; inner part of mantle, forming the 

 pulmonary sac, with spots and stripes of dark pigment, giving the 

 shell, when the animal is retracted, a spotted appearance. 

 , The mantle lobes are very slightly extensible. Those covering 

 the shell are somewhat thickened near their margins, the left shell 

 * This name Las already been employed in Botany.
