M. Bewsher, are enumerated by A. Morelet ; the most remarkable are 
a large new species. Helix hewsheriana, and 2 new species of Cyclostoma,

Siberia, [See anted, p. 140.] 
Central Asia. A preliminary note on the shells collected by the late 
F. Stoliczka during the expedition to Yarkand, including Helix phoeo- 
zona and plectotropis (Martens], already found by Russian travellers in 
Turkestan and the Thianschan, is given by the Recorder, SB. nat. Fr. 
1875, pp. 96 & 97. 
China. A list of 13 land-snails collected at Kiukiang on the Yangtse- 
kiang by O. v. Mollendorif, some new, described by him, with additional 
notes on them and 7 freshwater-shells from the same locality by the 
Recorder, JB. mal. Ces. ii. pp. 118-135. 14 species (some new) from 
the environs of Peking, id. tom. cit. pp. 214-220. 
On some land- shells from Aden, see W. T. Blanford, J. A. S. B.

S. Hanley & W. Theobald continue to figure the land- and fresh- 
water-shells of Cis- and Trans- Gang etic India in their “Conchologia 
Indica,” pts. 6 & 7, mostly from type specimens in the British Museum or 
in private collections. The species not figured before in other concho- 
logical works will be mentioned infra.

Indb-China. The land- and freshwater-shells of Siam, Cambodia, and 
Cochin China are described by A. Morelet, Series Conch, pt. iv., chiefiy 
from collections made by Bocourt, Vesco, Eyries, and Michau. Some 
introductory pages sketch the nature of the country and mention the 
chief contributors to our conchological knowledge of it j the species are 
generally well distinguished and described, and many of them well 
figured, and peculiar attention has been given to the exact indications 
of habitat. Nanixacamlodiensis (R. V.) does not inhabit Cambodia itself, 
but the territory of the Stiengs, which geographically belongs rather to 
Cochin China. The fauna of Lake Tonli-sap, on the banks of the 
Mekong River (Cambodia), 80 leagues from the sea, of which it receives 
the tides, without becoming saline, is very interesting j here are found the
