IX. 
ANNALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI. 
1911. 
ON A COLLECTION OF LAND SHELLS FROM 
NEW GUINEA AND ADJACENT ISLANDS. 
(With 10 textfigures.) 
By Dr. L. Soós. 
The shells which form the subject of the present paper were col¬ 
lected by Mr. L. Biró, and are now to be found in the collection of 
the Hungarian National Museum. Most of them belong to known species 
but I regard these also as being worthy to be recorded for the sake of 
the knowledge of their distribution.
