One hundred and twenty-five species. A great number of 
them were entirely new, and others very imperfectly known 
to science, at the time of their discovery by Mr. Wallace; 
but most were previously described by Hr. Pfeifier in former 
volumes of the same journal, so that eight species only re- 
mained for description in this paper. The localities of many 
species of land-shells of the Indian Archipelago were, until 
the most recent time, very imperfectly or erroneously given 
by European writers ; therefore exact statements, such as made 
hy Mr, Wallace, are of great value to science. The Re- 
corder, who visited most of the same islands a short time 
after Mr. Wallace, is able to confirm a great number of these 
statements by personal observation. It is most interesting that 
the very singular IkUimus cryalallinus (Reeve), the locaility of 
which was hitherto uidviiown, has been found alive in the island 
of W aigiou.

Forty-five species inhabiting the groups of the Samoa or Navi- 
gator Islands, and fifty-three from the Feejee Islands, are enume- 
rated, many of them being new. Valuable remarks on the natural 
affinities of many species are added, the author being one of those 
who first pointed out and thoroughly understands the intimate 
connexion between natural groups and geographical distribution 
of land-shells. Small species of Nanina[Trochomorpha']imdi Helix ^ 
some of Partula, Omphaloti'opis , and Helicina, form the prominent 
leatures among the land-shells of those two groups of Polynesian 
islands. The Feejee group, besides, has certainly one, perhaps 
several, large species of Bulimus (B. fulguratus) allied to those 
of New Caledonia; the Samoa group some small Cyclophorus 
and Pupa. Among the freshwater shells the Melanice, Neritince^ 
and Navicellce prevail (that is to say, those inhabiting running
