 Cycl )pho7'us Kubaryi, v. Moll., Cat. Staudinger. 



(Plate xxvL, Fig. 6.) 



Testa solida, opaca, rugosa, parum nitens, turloinato-globosa, 

 profunde sed (pro genere) minute umbilicata, umbilicus ad 

 terminationem leviter excentricus, superne atro-fusca, in medio 

 ultimi anfractus luteo plus minusve distincte bifasciata, subtus 

 circa umbilicum flava vel jDallida. Spira conoidea, elevata, obtusa. 

 Anfractus 5^, convexi, sutura infra subirregulari discreti, baud

 Island of Soemba (Indian Archipelago). The description of the

 the general " tout ensemble " of the shell, and the simple, not 

 reflected, lip. The former, obsolete beneath, is very much marked 

 above, and recalls that of Helix Qtioyi and maniilla, although it 

 may be termed as more vermiculous. The whorls are more tightly
