Hah. ad Darjiling. Teste R. Trotter. 



The sculpture of this species is peculiarly delicate and beau- 

 tiful. The labiation near the aperture forms exteriorly a yellow 

 band similar to those observable in several other Himalayan 

 Helices, and in the species H. verticillus and Smyrnensis of 

 Southern Europe and Asia Minor.

Testa mediocriter umbilicata, depressissimo-conica, tenui, exiliter ob- 

 lique acuto-striatula, cornea ; spira ad apicem obtusa, suturis mar- 

 ginatis. Aufractibus 5^ planulatis, ultimo ad periphoeriam acu- 

 tissime carinato, subtus planiusculo ; apertura oblique subquadrata, 

 margine acuto.

Hab. ad Darjiling. Teste R. Trotter. 



This shell, approaching in form to H. Cyathus, Pfr., figured 

 in the 'Conchologia Iconica' at no. 139, bears much resem- 

 blance to the Javanese species H. Zollingeri of the same author, 

 represented in ^ Conchologia Iconica ' at no. 605, but differs in 

 sculpture, marginate suture, less obtuse spire, and colour. 



4. Helix Lychnia, nobis, n. s. 



Testa imperforata, valde depresso-conica, tenui, translucente, polita, 

 fusca ; spira conica, obtusiuscula, suturis marginatis. Anfrac- 

 tibus 6^ angustis, planiusculis, ultimo vix latiori, ad periphseriam 

 acute compresso- carinato, subtus convexhisculo, medio excavato ; 

 apertura vix obliqua, angusta, securiformi, peristomate simplici 

 acuto, margine inferiori arcuato, versus periomphalum leviter in- 

 crassato. 



Diam. major vix ,12, minor 11, axis 5imill. 



Hab. in Insula Sincapore. Teste Dr. J. F. Bacon. 



This ]n'etty species, remarkable among the depressed conic 

 forms for its imperforate base and closely wound spire, was found 

 by Dr. J. F. Bacon at Sincapore, where it does not appear to be 

 scarce. A small specimen of H, Janus, Chemnitz, accompanied 

 H. Lychnia from the same locality, to which it had not pre- 

 viously been assigned, the recorded habitat being Mount Ophir, 

 near Malacca. 



5. Helix luhrica, nobis, n. s. 



Testa perforata, depressa, obsolete radiato-striata, politissima, luteo- 

 fulvescente vel olivacea ; spira planiuscula, apice vix prominulo.
