On a New Speoies of Land Shells of the Genus Kaliella
ON A NEW SPEOIES OF LAND SHELLS OF THE GENUS KALIELLA. BLANFORD FROM THE SIMLA HILLS (MOLLUSOA, GASTROPODA.: FAMILY ZONITIDAE). By A. S. RAJAGOPALAIENGAR, M.So., Zoological Survey of India, Oalcutta. INTRODUCTION. This paper deals with four tiny land shells of the family Zonitidae received for determination from Dr. M. L. RoonwaI, Entomologist, 'Foredt Research Institute, Dehra Dun with the following interesting note regarding topography of the place from where the specimens were collected :- "The shells were collected from the cups of Arcenthobium minut·i88imum Hook. F. (a parasitic plant belonging to the family Loranthaceae) found on the twigs of Abiea pindrow (Silver fir) in the Simla Hills. These twigs were collected from tops of trees about 50 feet high growing alongside the road from Khadrala to Nankhari about Ii mile from the Khadral& rest house (height 9700 feet above sea level) in the Lower Bashahr forest division, Himachal Pradesh. The material was collected on 21-5-51 by G. D. Bhasin, Assistant Forest Entomologist in this branch. " Unfortunately, nothing is known about the soft parts of the snails. Though very small in size, the specimens, on a closer study, were found to exhibit certain very well-defined and significant features in their shell characters which left no doubt as to their distinctness from any of the hitherto known forms of the genus Kaliella. So, I approached Dr. H. C. Ray, Officer in charge of the Mollusca Section for elucidation. He after examining the same very critically came to & similar conclusion. But in order to be more sure about the identity, he sent the best specimen in the lot to the British Museum (Natural History), Lttndon, for opinion. -

Over the years it has built up expertise on different faunal groups and in order to disseminate that knowledge training and extension services have been devised. Hitherto the training programmes were conducted In entomology, taxidermy and omithology. The scope of the training programmes has now been extended to other groups and the one on Snails, Flukes and Man is the first step in that direction. Zoological Survey of India has the distinction of being the only Institute where extensive and in-depth studies are pursued on both molluscs and helminths. The training programme has been of mutual interest to malacologists and helminthologlsts. The response to the programme was very encouraging and scientific discussions were very rewarding. The need for knowledge .and Iterature on molluscs was keenly felt. -

Als Aufenthaltszeit wurde der südliche Winter wegen der relativen Trockenheit gewählt, da nur zu dieser Jahreszeit die zum Ziel ge- setzten hydrobiologischen Untersuchungen (STARMÜHLNER 1968, WENINGER 1968) möglich waren. Der Hauptaufgabenbereich der Expeditionsteilnehmer und die für das Auffinden von Landgastropoden ungünstige Jahreszeit erklärt die geringe Ausbeute.

Evolutionary History of a Vanishing Radiation
Lee et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2014, 14:202 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/14/202 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Evolutionary history of a vanishing radiation: isolation-dependent persistence and diversification in Pacific Island partulid tree snails Taehwan Lee1, Jingchun Li1, Celia KC Churchill2 and Diarmaid Ó Foighil1* Abstract Background: Partulid tree snails are endemic to Pacific high islands and have experienced extraordinary rates of extinction in recent decades. Although they collectively range across a 10,000 km swath of Oceania, half of the family’s total species diversity is endemic to a single Eastern Pacific hot spot archipelago (the Society Islands) and all three partulid genera display highly distinctive distributions. Our goal was to investigate broad scale (range wide) and fine scale (within‐Society Islands) molecular phylogenetic relationships of the two widespread genera, Partula and Samoana. What can such data tell us regarding the genesis of such divergent generic distribution patterns, and nominal species diversity levels across Oceania? Results: Museum, captive (zoo) and contemporary field specimens enabled us to genotype 54 of the ~120 recognized species, including many extinct or extirpated taxa, from 14 archipelagoes. The genera Partula and Samoana are products of very distinct diversification processes. Originating at the western edge of the familial range, the derived genus Samoana is a relatively recent arrival in the far eastern archipelagoes (Society, Austral, Marquesas) where it exhibits a stepping‐stone phylogenetic pattern and has proven adept at both intra‐and inter‐ archipelago colonization. The pronounced east–west geographic disjunction exhibited by the genus Partula stems from a much older long-distance dispersal event and its high taxonomic diversity in the Society Islands is a product of a long history of within‐archipelago diversification. -
