A form not represented by M. Brot ; it may fairly be considered 

 a connecting link between this species and M. nidis. Long.

 pare also Mr. Hanley's remarks, Con. Indica, page 32.

 page 782 [sine deser.']. 



The synonomy of this species is correctly given by Mr. Hanley 

 in the Con. Indica ; M. Brot, on the other hand, has evidently 

 not had the " Grleanings of Science " to refer to, or else he would 

 have found the name of Melania lirata is not mentioned therein.
