240 melaniidj:. 



Long. 22, diam. 7 mil. 



7 Mauritius ; coll. G. Nevill [24, 9] and J. Caldwell, Esqrs. 



2 Rodriguez ; coll. J. Caldwell, Esq. 



Doubtless the insufficiently described M. rodericensis of 

 Smith. 



3 Poonaj coll. Rev. J. B. Fairbank [36, 11 1]. 



6 "Calcutta" [?] ; ex c. Asiatic Soc, Bengal [anfr. 5 ; 34, 12]. 



A giant, strongly decollated form ; more or less subgranulose, 

 especially discernible in the young. 



20 Chandemagore ; coll. Colonel G. B. Mainwaring. 



This is the form I take to be the M. pyramis of Benson, as also 

 are the two following. 



4 Kathiawar; coll. F. Fedden, Esq. 



8 Locality ? ; coll. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



3 Colombo; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 



A form with an acutely produced spire and contracted, short, 

 convex whorls, very different from var. layardi. It is of course 

 not the young form of the latter, which I know perfectly well. 



8 Chandemagore and Rajmahal ; coll. Colonel G. B. Mainwaring. 

 20 Raniganj ; coU. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 

 14 Barak River, Cachar and Roorkee ; coll. J. Wood-Mason, Esq. 



Undoubtedly true typical Melania pyramis of Benson, as 

 correctly figured in the Con. Indica, pi. 110, fig. 3; the Mel. 

 pyramis of Brot is quite different. 



4 Bimlipatam [?] ; coll. J. Wood-Mason, Esq. 

 The typical form of Miiller. 



6 Locality ? ; ex c. Asiatic Soc, Bengal 



Very possibly, original typical specimens of M. pyramis from 

 Mr. Benson ? 



Long. 34, diam. 12| mil. ; anfr. 5. 



4 Locality ? ; ex c. Asiatic Soc, Bengal. 



Exactly represented by Con. Indica, pi. 120, fig. 3, probably 

 typical specimens from either Hutton or Benson,
