MELANIID^. 257 



Though in bad condition, some of these agree exactly with 

 above-quoted fig. 27, Conch. Misc., and others with Brot's pi. 12, 

 figs. 1 and 4. Two of these specimens are banded, as in the sub- 

 var. cincta of typical M. variabilis. 



Long. 51, diam. 24 ; 5 whorls. 

 1 Qualla Kangsa j coll. Surgeon-Major E. Townseiid. 



A not adult specimen, apparently of Brot's pi. 12, fig. lA, 

 ribs slightly binodulose above, two distinct brown bands at 

 base. 



3 Perak ; coll. Surgeon-Major E. Townsend, 



A smaller form, unfortunately in very bad condition ; it will 

 probably have eventually to be separated, and may rather belong 

 to var. menkeaiia. 



4i Tongoop ? [Arakan] ; ex c. As. Soc, Bengal. 



Exceedingly close to the Samaguting specimens. One of the 

 Perak specimens also has very similar, distant, large ribs. 



1 Henzada? [Arakan]; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



1 Naga Hills ; coll. A. W. Chennell, Esq. 



5 Teria Ghat ; coll. Colonel 11. H. Godwin-Austen. 



Apparently a very variable small form ; one or two of them 

 closely resemble Perak typical episcopalis. The absence of any 

 basal striation connects the form with M. menkeaua, Lea. 



8 Teria Ghat ? ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



Locality I consider doubtful. It is very close to M. variabilis, 

 var. subspinosa [Calcutta], 



5 Sibsagar [?], &c. ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



A small form near the preceding, no basal striation. 



5 Khasi Hills ; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin-Austen. 



This fine form resembles the one I have separated (perhaps 

 injudiciously) as subvar. binod^iUfefa ; pi. 75, fig. 7 of the Con. 

 Indica, would fairly represent it, but that the spiral ribbing is 

 almost obsolete in all my specimens. 



2 Munipur ; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin-Austen. 



A less conspicuous form than the preceding, which it other- 

 wise resembles.
