A. W. Fereday, M.E.S.L.” 
Cidaria purpurifera, n. sp. 
Primaries olive green with dark chocolate lines and markings ; 
a very broad central belt with broad obtuse projection between 1st 
and 3rd median nervules ; central area of the belt traversed by a 
broad pale purplish band, the other part of the belt being olive 
green suffused and blotched with dark chocolate-brown; a very con- 
spicuous narrow white band beyond the central belt, and thin 
white subterminal line; fringe chequered. 
Secondaries tawny ochreous with some indistinct transverse 
lines.

Somewhat resembles Cidaria rivata, Feld. (Coremia squalida, 
Butl.) but readily distinguished therefrom by the purplish belt, 
brilliant white lines, and bright olive green ot the primaries of C. 
purpurifera and by the outer margin of the central belt being in 
the primaries of O. rivata very deeply indented along the lower 
branch of the median nervure. — 
.) “Revision of the Land Mollusca of New Zealand.” by 
Protessor F. W. Hutton. 
This paper is an attempt to arrange the New Zealand Land 
Mollusca into natural groups. It comprises short diagnoses of 
116 species, of which all but 13 have (been seen by "the author. 
These species are divided into 39 genera. In addition therejare 
seven introduced species. Of the native species, so far as our 
present knowledge extends, about one half appear to be confined 
to the North Island, one quarter to the South Island, and one 
quarter common to both.. Three species are known from Stewart 
Island of which two areendemic. A single endemic species comes 
from Campbell Island; while the three species said to be found in 
the Auckland Islands are all natives of New Zealand, as also 
appear to be the two species from the Chatham Islands, and the 
Kermadecs. Outside New Zealand the closest connection is with 
North Australia and New Caledonia, but there are also affinities 
with the faunas of Polynesia and South America. 
The author has adopted Prof. V. Martens’ suggestion that all 
specific names meaning of, or from, New Zealand should be spelt 
uniformly, and has taken neozelanicus as the best. 
The following new genera are made :— 
Genus Carthea. Animal helicitorm, jaw of many quadrate over-
