150 Ball — Andaman hirds ; Stoliczka — Penang shells. [Atjgtist, 



I regret that I have given Meguloides subviridis ^o many of my 

 friends under the mistaken name of '''■ Heguloides viridipennis ;'' most of 

 them, however, will see this notice, and will be able to make the necessary 

 correction. 



I might observe that neither JPhyl. trocliilus nor Begulus cristatus 

 occur in India. I procured specimens of Begulus Himalayensis in Kash- 

 mir which are notably distmct from Begulus cristatus. 



III. — Notes on a collection op bieds made in the Aistdaman Islands 

 BY Assistant Suegeon Dobson, M. B., dueing the months op 

 Apetl and Mat, 1872, — ly V. Ball, Esq., B. A. 



(Abstract.) 



The collection contains 184 specimens belonging to 62 species, of which 

 19 have not been previously recorded from the islands. One species only, 

 a Graucalus, is described as new ; there are four others, however, which differ 

 somewhat from the types of the species to which they are referred, but in the 

 present collection they are only represented by single specimens, and are 

 treated of as being possible individual varieties. 



Several of the Andaman species have only been named hitherto. In 

 this paper, descriptions have been given, so far as is possible from the materi- 

 al afforded by the collection. 



The avi -fauna of the Andamans, as at present known, includes 101 -{- 4 ? 

 specimens. Of this number, 12 are local, and 6 are confined to the Andamans 

 and Mcobars. 



In the Andamans the principal portion of the non-local species are 

 Indian, while in the Nicobars they are Malayan. 



IV. — On the land-shells oe Penang, with a desceiption of the 



ANIMALS AND WITH ANATOMICAL NOTES, — ly De. F. StOLICZKA. 



(Abstract.) 



The author alluded to the paucity of land-shells which up to the 

 present time had been known from Penang, or Prince of Wales island. 

 Dm-ing a visit to the island in 1869, he had collected nine species of Cyclo- 

 STOMACEA, and seventeen of Helicacea. The majority of them are new, 

 except Cyclophorus Malayanus, Megalomastoma sectilalrum, Helix {Bhysota) 

 Cymatium^ H. similaris and a few others. 



Among the CYCLOPHOEiDiE, the author particularly noticed the genus 

 Lagocheilus , (Theobald), of which two new species had been found, and 

 "^he animals of both possess a long glandular slit on the upper hinder end 

 of the foot. Thus Lagocheilus, together probably with Dermatocera, will 

 take a similar systematic position among the Ctclostomacea, as the 

 Zonitidce have among the Helicacea.
