coiled and the apex more globular, less mamillar than in any 
Cyclophorus I am acquainted with. No shell from New Guinea 
is like this, and I feel confident altogether that when the animal 
is known it may be considered the type of a new genus. Pro- 
visionally, a sectional name may be given to it, and I should 
propose for this object that of Papuocychts, as the only species 
known till now of this section belongs to the Papuan fauna. To 
my knowledge the large typical Gyclophori are still unknown from 
New Guinea or neighbouring isles. — Algeria* Feb. 1st, 1895.

Note by C. lledley. 
About the date on which I received the manuscript of the 
above, there reached me an article by Dr. O. von Mollendorff, 
" On a Collection of Land Shells made by Mr. I. Kubary in 
German New Guinea," Proc. Malac. Soc. Vol. I. Pt. Y. PL xv. 
pp. 234-240. Dealing with similar material, Mr. Ancey's paper- 
has been partially anticipated by the prior descriptions of P. and 
G. Kubaryi. Since, however, Mr. Ancey's independent observa- 
tions extend beyond those of his predecessor, and since the inter- 
vention of time and space do not allow me to refer the paper back 
to the author, I have judged it best to offer it intact to the 
Society.
