Diam. mag. 3 millim., min. 2§ / alt. 2. Habitat : Diana's Peak (Cutter). There are two specimens of this species in the Cumingian collection. They agree in all respects excepting the spire, which in one specimen is considerably less elevated than the other. The three parietal lamella? are about equal, but of the palatal, three or four are larger than two intermediate ON CLAUSILIA VESPA, GOULD, AND ITS ALLIES. By E. R. SYKES, , , Weymouth. In the "Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal" (vol. xli., p. 205), Dr. W. T. Blandford created the section Oospira to contain Clausilia pliilippiana, Pfr. (as the type), vespa, Gould, bulbus, Benson, and ovata, Blandfd. ; and he also expressed his sense of the difficulty of identifying Gould's species. Mr. F. Stoliczka, in his supplement, redescribed (p. 209) C. vespa, and both he and Dr. Blandford gave figures of what they believed to be that species (pi. ix., fig. 15 and 15a). The specimen figured by Mr. Stoliczka is, I believe, one which has been since received by the British Museum from Mr. Theobald. There are two species in the British Museum under the name of vespa, Gould ; one which I regard as really that species from the Hungerford Collection, and the other from Mr. Theobald, which I regard as the species and specimen described and figured by Mr. Stolic
