Mr. A. Adams on Japanese Species 

lempiji , (Ilorsf.), and its aflinod species, concurs with me in the 
propriety of bestowing a separate title on the species inhabit- 
ing the Western Ghauts of India. It is chiefly characterized 
by the ruddy ground-colour of its plumage, and the tarsal 
feathers being nearly, if not quite, immaculate. This and 
Scops griseus , Jcrd., form two well-marked species, both dif- 
fering from Javan examples of E. lempiji , (Horsf.), the first 
inhabiting the Western Ghauts, the second the Eastern, and 
also the forests in the vicinity of Maunbhoom. 


XLIX. — On some Species of Probosc idiferous Gasteropods 
which inhabit the Seas of Japan . By Arthur Adams, 
F.L.S., Staff-Surgeon, R.N. 

Since I published my paper, in the ‘ Journal of the Linnean 
Society’ for 1863, on the species of Fusidie which were found 
by myself in Japan, I have seen the elaborate work of I)r. 
Schrcnck on the Mollusca of Amur-Land and the Seas of 
Northern Japan. He there figures a veiy fine species of 
Nep>tunea , a group which seems to have its headquarters in 
northern seas, which he has named Buccinum pericochlion , 
and which is very similar in form to the elegant shell named 
by Dr. Baird Chvysodomtist abnlatus , from Vancouver’s Island. 
Buccinum yessoensis , Schrcnck, which I found in Aniwa Bay, 
in the island of Saghalien, belongs, I believe, to the genus 
Urosalpinx , recently established by Stimpson, as does also 
Euthria badia , A. Ad., from Tsus-Sima. The Fusils lineolatus , 
Dkr. (Buccinum Dunkeri , Kiist.), is a Cape species of Comi - 
nella, but is stated by Schrcnck to be also found in Hakodadi 
Bay. 

In the ‘ Annals and Magazine of Natural History’ for March 
1863, I described twelve species of Siphonalia , a Fusoid 
genus which seems to represent Neptunea in the south of 
Japan. In the ‘Proceedings of the Zoological Society ’ for 
1862 the species of Muricidte found in Japan arc enumerated ; 
and in the ‘Journal of the Linnean Society,’ vol. vii., I have 
given a list of the species of Mitrida) found by myself in 
Japanese waters. I now present the results of my personal 
knowledge of some other families of Proboscidiferous Gastero- 
pods which inhabit the seas of Japan.
