very difficult to shoot. I found two nests. One was placed in the roots of a 

 large upturned pine, and was globular with entrance at the side. It was 

 profusely lined with feathers and composed of moss and fibres. The eggs 

 were white, sparingly and minutely spotted with red ; rather oval in shape, 

 measuring '66 by "5. A second nest was placed in the thick foliage of a 

 moss grown fir tree, and was about 7 feet above the ground. It was simi- 

 larly composed to tbe other nest, but the eggs were rounder, and plain 

 white, without any spots. 



Notes on Barmese and Araeanese land shells, with descriptions 



of a pew species, — by W. Theobald, Esq., and Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



(Received and read 7th August, 1872.) 



(With plate XL) 



The accompanying notes were suggested by the recent discovery of 

 several new species of landshells, chiefly in the Arakan hills and in the 

 neighbourhood of Moulmain. In addition to these a few species were 

 found which proved to be identical with those formerly described from 

 Sikkim, the Khasi hills, and Upper Pegu ; the slight variations and the 

 geographical distribution of these species will be noticed in connection with 

 the descriptions of the new species.

A rare and very distinct from any of the other known species by its 

 distorted spire and externally bent down sutural tube. The figures 1 and 

 la are of the natural size, lb and lc are the corresponding figures, enlarged 

 twice the natural size.
