22. Melania [Striatella] acitula. 



Melania scitula, Gould, P. Bost. S. 1847, Upolu, anfr. 5, *' valde convexis." 



var, subcylindrica, no v. 

 4. Xavigators' Islands ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



In sliape fairly resemble M. Brot's pi. 24, fig. 8 [3/. unicolor, 

 Pease], which is possibly scarcely specially separable ; all four 

 show traces on the upper whorls of indistinct longitudinal ribs ; 

 one of 4 whorls- — long. 16J, diam. 6^, mil. — has the spiral stria- 

 tion of last two whorls altogether obsolete ; two others have 

 the last whorl smooth, and the fourth only is spirally striate, 

 throughout. All of them are of uniform light-green colour, 

 not banded. 



23. Melania [Striatella] sublutosa, n. sp. 



5 Gt. Nicobar ; coll. F. A. de Roepstorff, Esq. 



Long. 15, diam. GyV '^il- '■> anfr. 3. Very strongly decollate, 

 an exact "miniature " of M. Brot's pi. 24, fig. 15, "If. lutosa, 

 Gould," from Upolu. Unfortunately I have not come across 

 a young specimen, so as to be able to examine the sculpture of 

 the upper whorls, if there be any. 



24. Melania [Striatella] turrieulus. 



Melania turrieulus, Lea, P. Zool. S. 1850, Luzon ; = M. perpinguis, Reeve 

 [not of Hinds\, 



2 S. Palo [Luzon] ; coll, R. Hungerford, Esq. [20^, 9f ; anfr. 3^]. 

 Well represented by M. Brot's fig. 7A and Reeve's fig. 113B. 



1 Locality ? ; ex c. G. Nevill, Esq. 



3 Andamans; coll, F. A. de Roepstorff, Esq. [anfr. 4i j 1. 29^, d, 14]. 



One is a magnificent adult specimen, well represented by 

 Reeve's fig. 113 A ; the other two are young, with the spire nearly 

 perfect and distinct ribbed longitudinally near the apex ; all of 

 them have the characteristic brown "flecks" below the suture.
