coast of Coromandel are critically reviewed by Mojrch, J. de Conch, xx. 
pp. 333-346. There are 2 of Ariophanta (one, A. nicoharica, Chemii., pro- 
bably ascribed in error to the Nicobar Islands), 6 Nanina, 4 Helix (all pro- 
bably attributed in error to that coast), 3 Btilimus, 1 AmphibuUmaj 1 Siiccineay 
1 Subulina, 1 Planorbis, 1 Limnceay 4 Cyclophorus (some erroneous), 1 Lepto- 
poma, 1 Tortulosa, 2 Ampidlariay 1 ViviparuSy 2 Bythinia, Paludomus tan- 
schauricus (Gmel.), 2 Melaniay 1 Pythia, 1 Navicelkiy 1 Corbiciduy 9 Unio

23 land and freshwater shells collected on the coast of Coromandel 
by J. Reinhardt, 1845, are enumerated by Moncii, Vid. Medd. 1872, pp.

Nicobar Islands. The land and freshwater shells of these islands are 
critically reviewed, and many new species (found during the Danish Ex- 
pedition in 1840) described by Morch; he enumerates 7 species of Na- 
nina (of various subgenera), 1 Helix y Helicostyla codonodes (Pfr.), 1 Opeas 
IStenoyyra'jy 1 HyaUmax, the widely spread Ennea bicolor (Hutt.), 1 Aly- 
cceus, 4 CyclophoruSy 1 Leptopomay 2 OmphalotropiSy 2 Helicinay 4 Me- 
laniay 1 CerithideUy 1 Telescopiumy 3 Pythuiy 8 Neritinay 3 Peronuiy 1 Cyrenay 
2 Batissay and 1 AlasmodontUy or 20 land, about 13 freshwater, and 8 brackish- 
water MoUusca. The species mentioned by G. v. Frauenfeld as found during 
the Austrian expedition, 1858, on these islands are criticized. J. de Conch. 
XX. pp. 303-333, and Vid. Medd. xi. pp. 9-36. 
The Himala}^an, Assamese, Burman, and Cingalese species of Clausilia are 
enumerated, described, and ligured by W. T. Blanford, J. A. S. B. xli. 
part ii. pp. 199-206, pi. 9 j to which Stoliczka adds a postscript, pp. 207- 
210, raising the number of species to 20. Not one has hitherto been found 
in India proper south of the Himalaya, not even in the semi-Malayan fauna 
of the Malabar coast, and only one in Ceylon. There are 2 in the Western 
Himalaya, westwards of Nepal, 1 in Sikkim and Bhotan, and 10 in Trans- 
gangetic India, from the Khasi hills to Martaban. 
Some new species of land and freshwater shells from the Khasi, North 
Cachar, and Naga hills, N.E. Bengal, are described by Godwin-Austen, 
P. Z. S, 1872, pp. 514—618, pi. 30, and by Brazier, ibid. pp. 017-619, 
Several species of laud-shells found in Burmah and Arakan are mentioned, 
and 8 described as new, by W. Theobald and F. Stoliczka, J. A. S. B. xli. 
part 2. pp. 329-334, pi. 11. 
Pulo Penang. The Cyclostomicea observed on this island are 
described by Stoliczka, 1. c, pp. 261-271 ; he enumerates 2 
species of CyclophoruSy 2 Opisthoporus , 1 Pupina, 1 AlycreuSy 
and 2 Lagochilus ; of these, 6 are new, while 3 are identical with 
species from the continent of the Transgangetic peninsula. 
Celebes. The land-shells from that island, so far as hitherto 
known, are reviewed ; and some new species collected by Dr. 
A. B. Meyer, raising their number to 50, are added by E. v. 
Martens, Mai. Bfatt. xx. pp. 155-177, pi. 5. Most of them are 
peculiar to that island (even to its northern or southern extre-
