 This species may be divided into two varieties : 



a. var. fasciata: smaller, sometimes more ventricose, 



with a band at the periphery and another near the 

 base; rarely with traces of flames or of an infra- 

 sutural band. 



b. var. jiammulata: larger, with irregular flames, gene- 

 rally more subulate. 



This new form is allied to M. sulcospira Mouss. and 

 testudinaria v. d. Busch ; it may be distinguished from the 

 first by its much more elongated spire, with flatter 

 whorls , the yellowish colour etc. ; from the latter by its 

 more acute spire , its larger last whorl , and by the convexity 

 of the whorls. It is in these respects intermediate between 

 the two quoted species. 



2. Melania glandiformis , n. sp. 

 (Plate 2, fig. 2). 



Shell ovate, thick, yellowish olive-brown, much eroded, 

 remaining whorls only IVj; whorls rather smooth, with 

 lines of growth , some of which resemble ribs , and a few 

 more or less conspicuous ridges near the base of the last 

 whorl ; penultimate whorl convex ; last whorl flat above , 

 nearly angular at the periphery, contracted near the base. 

 Suture well marked but not deep , rather irregular. Aper- 

 ture ovately oblong, upper angle acute, base much pro- 

 duced, nearly channelled; columella broad, covered with 

 a white callus , slightly curved ; interior of aperture bluish 

 white, more or less marked with brown. 



Alt. 15, lat. 10 V2. Apert. alt. 11, lat. 7 mill. 



Hab. Java, legit Junghuhn. 



This species in closely allied to M. pisum Brot, which 

 is, however, much more globose, and the aperture of the 

 new species is not so strongly channelled near the base.
