412 On the Land Shells of Bourbon. [No. 4, 



mentioned, was figured by Deshayes and Kiister fortius 

 shell. Fer us sac's note that the animal is a handsome scarlet- 

 orange colour answers perfectly to this species, the only shell of this 

 type from Mauritius with a similar animal is G. holostoma, M o r 1 1., 

 one of these two then G. funiculus, or G. holostoma, must be Ferus- 

 sac's original versipolis, and if the type specimen was from Bour- 

 bon, it undoubtedly belonged to the present species, the colour of the 

 animal precludes its having been either G. bacillus, Pfr., striata* 

 costa, Mori t., or the shell kindly identified for me as it by Mr. II. 

 Adams from the late Mr. Cuming's collection, the animal of 

 which I wrongly described under this name in Proc. Zool. Soc. 1868, 

 p. 260, and which is, I believe, a new species ; these three last have 

 as yet been found in Mauritius only. 



24. Gibbus (Gibbulina) tukgidulus, Desli., Moll, de la Bean. 

 p. 93. 



This shell appears to be very rare, I did not succeed in taking 

 it alive, I procured my specimens on the road to Salazie ; it mo.st 

 resembles a small variety of the Mauritian G. callifcr, Mori t. 



25. Gibbus (Gibbulina) uvula, Desh., ibid. 

 Also rare, with the preceding. 



26. Gibbus (Gibbulina) cylindrella, II. Ad., Zool. Soc, Proc. 

 1868. 



Very scarce, in damp woods at a considerable elevation. 



27. Gibbus (Gibbulina) Deshayesi, H. A d., ibid. 



I only found a few specimens of this interesting little specie^ 

 amongst loose stones, on a very arid mountain close to the village 

 of Salazie. 



28. Vertigo (?) pupula, Desh., Moll, de la Eeun. p. 92. 

 Abundant on large boulders, overgrown with creepers &c, near 



Salazie, I examined it carefully and could only detect a single pair 

 of tentacles, unfortunately I had no magnifying glass with me at 

 the time to make quite certain.
