TERRESTRIAL MOLLUSCA INHABITING SOCIETY ISLANDS. 
I forwarded Mr. Pease a number of examples of this species intermixed with 
obhiKja, and, supposing the two to be identical, he included it in his diagnosis of the 
latter sjiecies. Having collected hundreds of specimens of both species at the different 
groujis, I do not hesitate to consider them quite distinct. As compared to oUonga, it 
is lighter-colored, more robust, spire more rapidly tapering, body- whorl larger and 
more or less compressed in the middle. The parietal lamina is larger, and the 
columella more tortuous. 
Mousson’s var. impressa is not uncommon in eastern Polynesia.

Tornatellina Newcomhi, var., Schmeltz, Cat. Mus. Godeff., vi, p. 80. 
I'his species is distributed throughout all the groups of islands in southeastern 
Polynesia ; on the ground, in forests. 
Mr. Pea.se’s type specimens were collected by me at Tahaa. He either overlooked 
or inadvertently omitted to mention the small, but constant, parietal lamina in his 
brief diagnosis. The open umbilicus, small parietal lamina, smooth and simple colu- 
mella, will distinguish it from any other south Polynesian species. 
Though shaped like T. Newcomhi, which inhabits the Sandwich Islands, it is 
smaller, tlie umbilicus larger, the columella simple, not biplicate, and the pariettd 
lamina is smaller than in Pfeiffer’s species.

Tornatellina bilamellata, Schmeltz (not of Anton), Cat. Mus. Godeff., v, p. 90. 
Not uncommon, and ranges throughout the group. Also common to the Austral 
and Cook’s Islands. 
As compared rvith nitUla, the iiearest allied species, it has a more dilated and 
htdentato colnmella. The upper denticle is larger and not so acute as in nitida 
Some exatuples have the palatal denticles mounted on longitudinal lines of callus
