Macroceramm. The following species from Cuba are described by Pfeilfer, 
Malacol. Blatt. 1864: M. pvpoides (Pfr.), p. 15; M. variahilis (Pfr.), p. 15; 
M. crenatus (Gundlach), p. 16; M. costellaris (Gundlacb), p. 16; M, denti- 
cidatus (Gundlacb), p. 17 ; M. nigropictus (Gundlacb), p. 17; M. lalm (Gund- 
lach), p. 17 ; M. elegans (Gundlacb), p. 18 ; M, palenquensis (Gundlacb), p. 18 ; 
M. simplex (Pfr.), p. 19; M. poeyi (Pfr.), p. 126; M. infradenticulatus 
(Wright), p. 127. 
Balea spelt Balia by Stabile (Moll. terr. Pidm.), who derives it from 
^SaXtor, spotted. In our opinion, the name is a nonsensical compound of 
letters, like other generic names introduced by Leach. 
Clausilia laminata (Mont. sp.). Variations of coloration (gveenish and 
purple) are figured by Bourguignat, Mai. de la Grande Chartreuse, pi. 8. 
figs. 1-8. 
Clausilia alpina and Cl. thomasiana^ var. verhanensis, both published by 
M. Stabile in the year 1857, are figured by him in Moll. terr. Pidm. pi. 2. 
figs. 3 and 2. lie establishes for them and for Cl. diodon a new section in 
the genus Clausilia, which he names Charpcntieria (p. 80), distinguished from 
Marpessa (tj’^pe Cl. laminata, Mont.) by not having the clausiliurn emargi- 
nate. Charpcntieria appears to be very near to the section named Fimdus by 
Pfeiffer and the Recorder ; but as the latter name was originally used by its 
author, Fitzinger, in a very much wider sense, there would be no serious 
objection to adopt the name proposed by M. Stabile even for a combination 
of those two sections. It is remarkable that Cl. laminata (Mont.), although 
widelj’^ spread in Europe, has not been found in Piedmont. 
Clausilia metlo', sp. n.. Stabile, 1. c. p. 89, pi. 2. fig. 1, from Piedmont; 
section Plicaphora . — Clausilia jmoxima, sp. n., Walderdorfl^ Verhandl. Zool. 
Bot. Ges. Wien, xiv. 1864, p. 508, from Cattaro, in Dalmatia. 
Hr. Pfeiffer describes five species of Clausilia from Crete, in Proc. Zool. Soc. 
1864, pp. 604, 605 : C. glabella, C. extensa, C. tenuicostata, C. rudis, and C. distans. 
Clausilia letourneuxi, Bourguignat, Malacol. Alg^r. iv. p. 75, pi. . f. : 
“Rufocornea, argute striatula, apertura basi subcanaliculata, plica lunata 
crassa, plicis palatalibus duabus,” &c. From Algiers. — As regards the other 
Algerian species of this genus, we refer to our notes in the geographical part 
of our Record. 
Clausilia masoni, Theobald, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1864, p. 246, from the 
Tonghoo Mountains, between Pegu and Martaban. 
Clausilia sumatrana, Martens, Monatsb. Acad. Wiss. Berl. 1864, p. 270, from 
Sumatra; Cl. moluccensis. Martens, ibid., from Halmahera; Cl. excurrens, 
Martens, ibid. p. 527, from Sumatra. 
Pupa secale, var. hourgetica, Bourguignat, Mai. d’Aix, p. 49, pi. 2. figs. 1, 2. 
Pupa mortilleti, sp. n., Stabile, Moll. terr. Piem. p. 96, pi. 2. fig. 4, from 
the alpine region of the valley of Stura, closely allied to P. variahilis (Drap.), 
which is also figured, pi. 2. fig. 5, under the old name of P. multidentata 
(Olivi), the correct identification of which must appear very doubtful. The 
Recorder referred some years ago Bulimus cinereus (Mortillet) to the genus 
Pupa, changing the name into Pupa mortilleti, because there exists already a 
Pupa cinerea (P. qidnquedentata of others). Therefore the species described by 
M. Stabile must receive another name, and we propose for it that of P. stahili.
