(1859), and a few general remarks on the Siberian fauna added by H. 
Crosse & P. Fischer, J. de Conch, xxvii. pp. 145-168. The changes 
proposed by them in the generic arrangement of some of these shells 
will be mentioned infra, family Rissoidce. 
Japan. Kobelt, “ Fauna mollusc, extramar. Japonim,^’ enumerates 
and describes 138 terrestrial and 55 freshwater species, chiefly from the 
collections made by Prof. Rein, completing the number from the collec- 
tions and publications of A. Adams, Martens, Hilgendorf, and others ; 
only those will be mentioned in the special part as to which new infor- 
mation is given, or which are figured for the first time. 12 terrestrial 
and 5 freshwater species are identical with, or nearly allied to, circumpolar 
species ; 4 terrestrial and 7 freshwater species are Indian, occurring also 
in the Philippines, the Malayan Archipelago, &c. ; 2 terrestrial, Clausilia 
aculus and Cyclotus fortunii, and G freshwater are also found in China, or 
at least very nearly allied to Chinese species, and probably much more 
will be found on future researches in Middle China and in Korea ; the 
remainder are peculiar to Japan (pp. 160-165).
