Show 1895.] BOENEO AND NEIGHBOURING ISLANDS. Il3 peristoma tenue, margine columellari superne paulo incrassato, anguste dilatato et reflexo. Diam. 3 millim., cdt. 2-L. Hab. Palawan. A very small, obtusely conical shell, with a very minute umbilical perforation, with scarcely any trace of sculpture. 39. HELIX (CHLOEITIS) TOMENTOSA, Pfeiffer. Helix tomentosa, Pfr. Mon. Hel. vol. iv. p. 271 ; Eeeve, Con. Icon. f. 1403. Var. major, Pfr. op. cit. vol. v. p. 353. Banded var., Godwin-Austen, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1891, p. 42. Var. =H. (Fruticicola) everetti, H. Adams, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1873, p. 207, pi. xxiii. fig. 11. Hab. Sarawak and Labium (Pfr., Issel, Martens); Karamon Island for banded var. (G.-A.); Busau for var. everetti (Everett) ; Banguey Island for var. major (Everett). H. everetti differs only from the typical form of this species in having a supra-peripheral reddish zone. It appears to have been omitted by Kobelt, Issel, Godwin-Austen, and von Martens in their lists of Bornean Pulmonata. Specimens of the var. major in Cuming's collection and a specimen from Banguey Island also have the colour-band just above the middle of the body-whorl. 40. HELIX (CHLORITIS) KINA-BALUENSIS, Kobelt. (Plate III. fig. 16.) Helix (Chloritis ?) kinibalensis, Kobelt, in Martini u. Chemnitz, Conch.-Cab. ed. 2, p. 706, pi. cci. figs. 5, 6. Testa anguste umbilieata, depressa, subglobosa, dilute rufescens, supra peripheriam pallidam linea rufa cincta; spira breviter conoidalis, ad apicem obtusa ; anfractus 5, convexi, sutura sejuncti, oblique striati, ultimus in medio obsolete angulatus, antice paulo descendens; apertura obliqua, late lunata, intus lilacea ; peristoma edbidum, tenue, anguste expansum, margine columellari reflexo. Diam. maj. 25 millim., min. 21, alt. 17. Hab. Kina Balu, British North Borneo. In colour this species resembles the variety of H. tomentosa which has a red peripheral line. It is, however, larger, has a more elevated spire, the body-whorl has a tendency to subangulation, and the peristome is more regularly curved at the base. 41. HELIX (CHLOEITIS) EUPHEOSYNE. (Plate III. fig. 17.) Testa late umbilieata, suborbicularis, depresse conica, tenuis, fuscescens, prope sed supra peripheriam zona rufo-fusca cincta, epidermide plus minus breviter pilosa haud nitida induta ; spira brevis, conoidea, ad apicem mediocriter obtusa; anfractus convexiusculi, subceleriter accrescentes, lineis incrementi striati, undique minute granulati, ultimus in medio obtuse PBOC.
