NEW LAND SNAILS FROM COREA 



BY H. A. PJLSBRV AND Y. HIRASE. 



Our knowledge of the land and fresh-water mollusks of Corea 

 is chiefly from two papers based largely upon shells collected by 

 Dr. C. Gottsche. Dr. O. von Moellendorff published a list of 

 the land shells, 26 species in all, five of them new, in his paper 

 "Die Landschnecken von Korea" in Jahrbiicher der Deutschcn 

 Malakozoologischen Gesellschaft. xiv, 18S7. Dr. Ed. \ r on Mar- 

 tens described the fresh-water species in his " Korean ische Siis- 

 swasser-Mollusken ", (Zoologische Jahrbiicher, Supplement viii, 

 1905), some 40 species and varieties being noted. The Melanians 

 and Unionidae are finely developed, and outnumber the land shells. 



It is quite evident that the land snails are very imperfectly 

 knwon. No doubt a good collector would find many species in 

 southern Corea, and especially on the adjacent islands. A small 

 lot from Fusan contained the following species, all new to Corea.
