Wickham at Quincy, Calif, 1889. DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW EULOT^ (HELICES) FROM CENTRAL ASIA. BY C. F. ANCEY. I. Cathaica Funki n. sp. Shell much depressed, openly and rather widely umbilicated, of a somewhat solid substance, opaque, bluish-white, paler beneath and also above the periphery, more or less spotted with a few punctiform and pellucid dots beneath, a little shining, but not much so above. Spire greatly flattened, generally scarcely raised, barely convex, apex obtuse, corneous or dark colored. Whorls 5, convex, regularly increasing, furnished with oblique smooth lines of growth, somewhat irregular ; the last whorl barely and gently deflected in front, sub- depressed above, more or less roundly angled above the middle, the angle being very obtuse and obsolete towards the aperture ; more convex around the umbilicus. Aperture oblique, well rounded, scarcely lunate, ample, margins not remote. Peristome simple, widened, briefly expanded, chiefly at the columellar edge, moder- ately thickened at the base and columella, not reflected. Greater diam. 16-17 ; lesser 13^-14 ; height 7f-8; of aperture 6f- 7^ mill. Karghalik, Central Asia (teste E. Funk). Some years ago, I received this new species under the unpublished name of Helix Funki " ;, and do not think it was ever de- scribed since. In form it is like Helix obvia Hartm., but the shell is of the same type and has the same characters of aperture as Helix Htoiiczkana Nevill, of Yarkand ; it, however, lacks the two .straight brown bands of that species, in which they are a constant feature, and is more shining and less rugose.
