LAND SHELLS FROM NEW GUINEA OR ADJACENT ISLANDS, 
6. Cyclophorus Kubary'i, Mollenclorff. 
Cyclophorus Kubaryi, v. Moll., Cat. Staudinger. 
(Plate xxvi., Fig. 6.) 
Testa solida, opaca, rugosa, parum nitens, turbinato-globosa, 
profunde sed (pro genere) minute umbilicata, umbilicus ad 
terminationem leviter excentricus, superne atro-fusca, in medio 
ultimi anfractus luteo plus minusve distincte bifasciata, subtus 
circa umbilicum flava vel pallida. Spira conoidea, elevata, obtusa. 
Anfractus 5 \, convexi, sutura infra subirregulari discreti, haud 
valde turgidi; ultimus relative (pro genere) parum amplus, rotun- 
datus, altus, prope aperturam leviter subdeflexus. Apertura 
subobliqua, fere circularis, ad insertionem subangulata, extus 
leviter sinuata, sordide lutea. Peristoma acutum, haud expansum 
nec reflexum, vix patulum, ad columellam paulo magis incrassatum 
et expansiusculum, umbilicum haud tegens. Lineis incrementi 
sub lente irregulariter exarata et rugis undulatis ad apicem 
evanescentibus, basi tenuioribus peculiariter et eximie sculpturata, 
quasi vermiculata. Operculum tenue, rubellum, multispiratum, 
centro minute concavum. 
Diam. maj. 28, min. 23, alt. 24, alt. apert. 14 mill. 
Log. — (German?) New Guinea. 
There is no form known to me that I might compare with this. 
The operculum is red, thin and cyclophoroid, while the shell 
itself resembles in shape, as far as I can suppose from the figure 
given by Mr. M. M. Schepman, Gydotus Soembaensis, of the 
Island of Soemba (Indian Archipelago). The description of the 
latter applies nevertheless to a true Cydotus of the section 
J'seudocydophorus, Martens. (See Notes from the Leyden Museum, 
Vol. xiv. p. 158, PI. 6, fig. 3, 1892.) The remarkable sculpture 
of Cyclophorus Kubaryi is quite peculiar for the genus as well as 
the general " tout ensemble " of the shell, and the simple, not 
reflected, lip. The former, obsolete beneath, is very much marked 
above, and recalls that of Helix Quoyi and mamilla, although it 
may be termed as more vermiculous. The whorls are more tightly
