LAND SHELLS. 73 



hills below Cadyanda, and on the flanks of Massi- 

 cytus, we find, in addition to the species named, 

 one or two other species of Clausilia and Bulimus, 

 Pupa doliolum, and an un described Helix. Very 

 local are a Helix allied to obvoluta, observed only 

 on the hills between Myra and Phineka, and 

 some large species of Pupa, found on the borders 

 of Pisidia. Bulimus decollatus, so common in the 

 south of Europe, is here a very local species. 

 None of these shells were found on the hills of 

 serpentine : here, as everywhere else, that rock 

 seems to repel the shell-bearing mollusca ; but a 

 species of slug was not uncommon. At Termessus 

 we found a large green Bulimus, new, and since 

 described by Dr. Pfeiffer as B. Spratti. 



In the tertiary plains of the valley of the 

 Xanthus, and on the plain of Phineka, we find 

 Helix ericetorum and pyramidalis ; also Bulimus 

 fusciolatus in great abundance, and varying much 

 in its colouring, being sometimes pure white, 

 sometimes regularly rayed, and occasionally 

 speckled like a partridge, and Bulimus pupa. 

 Achatina acicula is rare. On the sandy downs near 

 the sea, as at Patara, and on the coast of Caria, 

 we find several familiar European species, as Helix 

 vermiculata H. variabilis, H. pizana, and Bulimus
