Vitrina ht'evis (T(5r.) has been kept alive for some time by M. Stabile 
(Moll. terr. Piem,). It feeds on cabbag^e, but never touches meat, either fresh 
or in a state of decomposition. Its eggs are rather gelatinous and adhere to 
one another. 
Kanina. Dr. E. von Martens has described the folloAving species in 
Monatsber. Acad. Wiss. Berl. 1864: K. sulfur ata^ p. 264, from Batjan and 
Halmaheira ; N. parcijnla, p. 264, from the island of Adenare, near 
Flores; K riedelii, p. 264, from Celebes, im — sccurifonnis, Desh. ?; N. ampJii- 
droma, p. 265, from Sumatra, = Ilelia: marthiii, Pfr. ; K. alhersij p. 265, from 
Malacca, is identical with Kjanuso^ most collections, but not with K,ja?imf 
Chemn. ; K rnpata, p, 528, from Celebes. — Kanina hyalinaj p. 266, from 
Borneo, K. fulvo-cat'nea, ibid., from Celebes, and K. aurea, ibid., from 
Sumatra, belong to the group Orohia (Alb.) — Kanina parietalis, Martens, 
Malac. Blfitt. 1864, p. 167, from Bengal, has proved to be identical with 
K. laidlcyana (Bens.). 
\^Ka7ima'] Helix yeiton, Theobald, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1864, p. 242, from 
the Khasi Hills. ‘‘A dwarf Helix climacterica.'' 
{^Kanina'] Helix loeinkauffiana (Crosse and Fischer), described in the pre- 
ceding volume of the Journal de Conchyliologie, 1863, p. 350, is figured this 
year, vol. xii. 1864, pi. 12. f 7, together with the allied [7V1] H. crosseij 
f. 6. Cochin China, 
\^Kanina?~\ Helix hasileus, Benson, titanica, Pfeiffer, 1862, inhabits 
the higher mountains of Southern India, at an altitude of 3300 feet above the 
level of tlie sea. Benson, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xiii. p. 496. 
\_Kanina'] Helix isabellina (Pfr.), hitherto known from Ceylon only, occurs 
also in Southern India. Benson, 1. c. 
\_Kanina'] Helix exul, Theobald, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. p. 245. Andaman 
Islands. 
Ti'ocliomoyplia* appropinquata, Martens, Monatsber. Acad. Wiss. Berl, 1864, 
p. 267, from Borneo; near Tr. approximata (Guillou, sp.). — TV. lardea, Mar- 
tens, 1. c.j from Amboina ; allied to TV. planoi'bis (Less. sp.). — Tr. hieolor, 
Martens, 1. c., from Sumatra and Borneo. 
Hyalina amhmmisis, Martens, Monatsber. Acad. Wiss. Berl. 1864, p. 266 ; 
Amboina. 
[Hyalina] Zoniics dmnontianius^ Bourguignat, Malacol. Grande Chartreuse, 
p, 43, pi. 3. fs. 9-14 (Dauphin^). Closely allied to Hyalma radiatula, which 
is figured on the same plate, fs. 15-20. 
Helicacea (Aulacognatha) , 
Helix. It is impossible to recognize the natural affinities of 
numerous species of Helix described as new from the descriptions 
given, and therefore we prefer to enumerate them in a geo- 
graphical order. 
* Trochomorplia (Albers), which includes Videna (Adams), was formerly 
considered by the-Recorder a subgenus of Kanina., and by Mr. Adams a sub- 
genus of Zonites. It may be regarded as a separate genus.
