 20 Myadoung, Upper Burma ; coll. Dr. J, Anderson. 



A very distinct form, remarkable for its " terebra-like " pro- 

 duced spire, its contracted or appressed wliorls (especially 

 the last) ; the spiral, undulating sculpture is more acutely 

 prominent than in any form I know ; all the whorls, except the 

 last, have a light longitudinal ribbing as well ; of a light 

 yellowish-green colour, pi-ettily marbled with brown. Anfr. 

 8 ; long. 27^, diam. 7yV ^^■ 



No figure in M. Brot's work gives an idea of it — pi. 26, 

 fig. 11 A, being the nearest ; pi. 74, fig. 1 of the Con. Indica 

 resembles it, only the last whorl is too ventricose, &c. 



subvar. subplicifera.
