^48 MELANIID^. 



Long. 28, diam. lOf mil. ; anfr. GJ. 

 Not unlike Troschel's Mel. ads^ersa. 



var. minor [? M. tuberculata, var.]. 

 10 Mahe, Seychelles ; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 



A small, strongly decollate form, without longitudinal sculp- 

 ture ; appears to me fairly intermediate between tlie small, 

 truncated Mauritian variety of M. tuberculata and typical 

 M. commersoni. 



Sub-Genus MELANOIDES, H. & A. Adams. 



Oen. Moll. I, page 296, 1854, type [ as fgured'] Mel. asperata. Lam., as 

 Genus Melanioides, Olivier. 



I am unable to accept tbis section as of Olivier, in wbicb case 

 tbe type could evidently only be Mel. tuberculata, Miill. [—fas- 

 ciolata, Oliv.'] ; I cannot find tbe word ^^ Melanioides''^ in Olivier ; 

 and Ferussac in bis Tabl. syst. merely mentions a '* Melano'ide, 

 Olivier." Messrs. Adams included Mel. tuberculata in tbis 

 subgenus, but M. Brot rightly, as I consider, separates it. 



37. Melania [Melanoides] reevei. 



Melania reevei, Brot, Mater. 1, 1862,; =M. halteata, Itv.[noi PUlippi'] = 

 M. goliath, Kanley, Con. Indica, pi. 72, fig. 3 ; var. =M. herculeea, 

 var., Brot, Mat. II, pi. 3, fig. 3 ; fide Hanley [not Brofjjuv. ? =M, 

 humerosa, Old., P. Bost. S. 1840, "Manko, Tavog," long. 1^, diam. i poll. 



5 Pegu ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



Agree exactly with Con. Indica, pi. 72, fig. 3. Anfr. 4 ; long. 

 66^, diam. 32f mil. 



3 Myadoung; coll. Dr. J. Anderson [39, 16|]. 



Apparently not quite adult ; perhaps will prove a distinct, new 

 variety. 



var. lanceolata, nov. 



Con, Indica, pi. 153, fig. 1, Bv/rma. 



M. Brot considers this the young state ; I am inclined to think 

 it an adult and very constant form.
