 stinctis. Anfractibus 5 convexis, ultimo rotundato. Apertura vix

 expanse, reflexiusculo, vix continue, margine columellari umbilicum 

 non pervium subtegente.

This is the most northerly Cyclophorus known. It was dis- 

 covered by the late Captain W. J. M. Boys, an indefatigable 

 collector in several branches of zoology, and the discoverer of 

 the genus Boysia, Pfr., by whose recent decease, as well as by that 

 of Dr. J. F. Bacon, another Indian collector of gre^t experience, 

 science has sustained a severe loss. 



This shell differs from the pale-lipped C. pyrotremay in which 

 the aperture is not fully developed, by its more globose form, 

 ventricose last whorl, small impervious umbilicus, more regular 

 sculpture above, stronger sculpture below, thinness, pale colour, 

 and the absence of any medial fascia. From the pale-lipped 

 variety of C, Stenomphalum with undeveloped peristome, it differs 

 by the greater breadth of the aperture in proportion to its length, 

 its non-pervious umbilicus, the absence of any carina at the 

 periphery^ the more closely sulcate and regular sculpture above, 

 the extension of the sculpture on the under side into the umbi- 

 licus, its pale suite of colours, and by the absence of any colour- 

 ing belew the periphery. From C. Indicus it may be known by 

 the absence of keel, suite of colours, sculpture, and aperture.

I find a single specimen, not in fine condition, among shells 

 kindly collected at my request by Dr. Chapman, to whom I was 

 also indebted for the first known specimen of Me^. funiculatum.
