This figure, though small, is, from the very peculiar and distinct form of the shell, sufficient for its identification, and I have therefore not given an enlarged drawing. 42. DIPLOMMATINA RUBICUNDA, V. Martens. Paxillus rubicundus, v. Martens, Monatsber. d. Berlin. Akad. 1864, p. 119 ; Preuss. Exp. Ost-Asien, Die Landschnecken, p. 164, pi. iv. fig. 17 (1867). Hab. Benkajang and Singkawang. 43. DIPLOMMATINA ADVERSA, H. & A. Ad. (Plate XXXVIII. fig. 3.) Paxillus adversns, H. & A. Adorns, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 2, vii. p. 63 (1851). No figure having ever been given of this species, I now give one from a specimen received from Mr. Henry Adams some years ago and in m y collection. 44. DIPLOMMATINA BECCARII, Issel. Paxillus beccarii, Issel, Moll. Born. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, vi. p. 441, pi. vi. figs. 20-22 (1874). 45. DIPLOMMATINA ISSELI, n. sp. (Plate XXXVIII. figs. 5, 5 a.) Shell sinistral, elongately fusiform, slightly rimate; sculpture very fine spiral liration, crossed by well-defined regular somewhat close costulation ; colour sienna-brown ; spire high, tapering rapidly ; apex fine ; suture well impressed ; whorls 8, sides convex, the last the largesr, not ascending, constriction (fig. 5 a) on side \ a whorl behind aperture, where position of operculum may be seen ; aperture very oblique, oval ; peristome double, not thickened, rtflected slightly, with a thin callous on the last whorl ; columellar margin with a blunt rounded tooth. Size: maj. diam. 2*9 ; alt. axis 4*0 millim. Hab. Sarawak proper and Busan Hills (A. Everett). The species occurred also among the shells from the cave deposits. I his is a very peculiar form, and much more worthy of subgeneric distinction than Paxillus, which is only a reversed Diplommatina. 46. DIPLOMMATINA BUSANENSIS, n. sp. (Plate XXXVII. fig. 4.) Shell sinistral, ovately fusiform, somewhat short; sculpture fine longitudinal striation, cnssed by distant regular well-marked constula-tion ; colour orange-brown, dark madder-brown on apex ; spire turreted ; apex pointed ; suture deep ; whorls 6, sides very convex, |
