Contains very judicious remarks on the systematic value of 
several characters, anatomical as well as zoological, used by 
various authors for the classification of this family. Several 
natural groups or (according to the views of the author) genera 
are exemplified by lists of their species, and the arrangement 
based upon the differences in the jaAvs (maxillae), proposed by 
the author several years ago and mentioned in the ^ Record * 
of last year, p. 220, is again given in a somewhat modified form 
and with the addition of a greater number of exotic groups : — 
I. OxYQNATiiA : jaw smooth, edge cutting, often with a median promi- 
nence. PhilomycuSy Limax, Tennmtia^ ParmaccUa^ Ilelicarion, Ariophantiif 
Nanina, lihi/sota, Vitrina, llyalinia, Zonites, Laucochroa, Piunina, ClausUia) 
perhaps also Phania, Pluuispira, Solar opsisy Otala, CaracolUiy Lahyrinthus. 
II. Aulacognatha : jaw finely and regularly grooA^ed, edge crenulated. 
BulimuliiSy Enay Pupa, Discus, Vallonia perhaps also Sayda and Hygromia 
[^Fruticola]. /- 
III. Odontognatha : jaw strongly ribbed, edge toothed. Veronicclla, 
Avion, Ariolimax, Anadenus, PeUicida, PelteUa, Morchtia ?, Ifeifferia, Ohio- 
rcea, Axina, Pythohelix, Helicohtdimus, Cochlicellus, Jucosta {^Herophila), 
Euparypha, Eulota, Tridopsis, Trigonostoma, Arionta (including Chilotrema 
and Campylcea'), Iherus, Tachea, Pomatia, Pleurodonta, Thelidomus, Limico- 
larius, Achatina, Borus. 
IV. Goniognatha : jaw composed of several pieces jointed together in 
oblique lines. Pseudostrombus\^=.Ligims\ Orthalicus. 
V. Elasmognatiia : jaw horseshoe-shaped, with a square plate behind; 
edge prominent in the middle. Janella, Aneitea, Omalonyx, Succinea. 
VI. Agnatha : no jaw; generally no median tooth in the radula. Onchis, 
Peronella, Testacella, Daudehardia, Streptaxis, TJrocoptis [ = Cylindrelki], 
Glandina ; perhaps also Emiea, Megaspira, and Polygyratia (^Helix poly gyro ) ; 
also JErope {Helix caffra. Per.). 
A list of all the species, in which some anatomical character 
has been investigated, is appended to this paper.
