Thus we find, even at the extreme Bornean end of this ridge, Philippine influence of considerable importance. The Bornean Amphidromi are counterbalanced by the Hadra, which belongs to the remarkable group of which the metropolis is Palawan, and by the single Cochlostyla. Opisthoporus, again, is Indo-Malay, while in the genus Leptopoma the preponderance, in species at any rate, is towards the Philippines. Quadrasia is a remarkable freshwater form, apparently allied to Planaxis, and quite peculiar to Balabac. The Mollusca known from Palawan are as follows:- Hemiplecta Schumacheriana, Pfr.

This variable species appears to be confined to Balabac, Palawan, and Busuanga; Hidalgo (Journ. de Conch, ser. 3, xxvii. p. 109) cites it also from Luzon, but I think this must be a mistake. 2 As the var. graellsi, Hid. 3 Including the varieties palawanica, Pfr., lagunce, Hid., dorice, Dohrn, and palumba, Souv. Cuming gives monochroa from Tablas, which I think is a mistake. Dohrn considers the occurrence of dorice in Borneo very doubtful. 4 Including the varieties graellsi, Hid., palavanensis, Pfr., and librosa, Pfr. |
