spirally ridge-striated, the first strongly concentrically 



plicated ; aperture small, rounded.

Strongly characterized by the constricted sutures and by 

 the rib-like plications of the earlier whorls.

Hab. Timor; Lamarck. 



The granulated sculpture of this species is of rather a 



large character, amounting almost to warts. 



Species 226. (Mus. V. d. Busch.) 



Melania inhonesta. Mel. acuminato-turritd, virescente 

 olivaced, infra suturas rifo-maculatd, anfractibm octo 

 ad novem, nitentibus, primis spiraliter lirato-striutis 

 et concentrice plicatis, cceteris gradalim Itsvioribus ; 

 aperturd parvd, pyriformi-ovatd. 

 The dirty Melania. Shell acuminately turreted, green- 

 ish-olive, red-spotted beneath the sutures, whorls 

 eight to nine, shining, the first spirally ridge-stri- 

 ated, and concentrically plicated, the rest gradually 

 smoother; aperture small, pyriformly ovate.

 Hab. Ja a. 



Distinguished by a transparent-olive aspect. The ear- 

 lier whorls are sculptured both spirally and concentrically, 

 but the sculpture gradually disappears. 



Fig. 227. (Mus. Cuming.) 



This shell is, I fear, only a rubbed, discoloured M. scabra. 

 For Species 227, see next Plate.
