var. subcylindrica, nov. 

 4. Navigators' Islands ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



In sliape fairly resemble M. Brot's pi. 24, fig. 8 [M. unicolor. 

 Pease], which is possibly scarcely specially separable ; all four 

 show traces on the upper whorls of indistinct longitudinal ribs ; 

 one of 4 whorls- — long. 16J, diam. 6^, mil. — has the spiral stria- 

 tion of last two whorls altogether obsolete ; two others have 

 the last whorl smooth, and the fourth only is spirally striate, 

 throughout. All of them are of uniform light-green colour, 

 not banded.

 an exact "miniature " of M. Brot's pi. 24, fig. 15, "ili". lutosa, 

 Gould," from Upolu. Unfortunately I have not come across 

 a young specimen, so as to be able to examine the sculpture of 

 the upper whorls, if there be any. 



24. Melania [Striatella] turriculus. 



Melania turriculus. Lea, P. Zool. S. 1850, Luzon; = M. perpinguis, Eeeve

3 Andamans; coll. F. A. de RoepstorflP, Esq. [anfr. 4|; 1. 29^, d. 14]. 



One is a magnificent adult specimen, well represented by 

 Reeve's fig. 113A ; the other two are young, with the spire nearly 

 perfect and distinct ribbed longitudinally near the apex ; all of 

 them have the characteristic brown "flecks" below the suture.
