248 MELANIID^, 



Long. 28, diam. 10:} mil. ; anfr. 6|. 

 Not unlike Troschel's Mel. ads^oersa. 



van. minor [? M. tubcrculata, var.]. 

 10 Mahe, Seychelles; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 



A small, strongly decollate form, witlioiit longitudinal sculp- 

 ture ; appears to me fairly intermediate between the small, 

 truncated Mauritian variety of M. tubcrculata and typical 

 M. commersoni. 



Sub-Genus MELANOIDJES, H. & A. Adams. 



Oen. Moll. I, page 296, 1854, type [ as figured'] Mel, asperata. Lam., as 

 Genus Melanioides, Olivier. 



I am unable to accept tbis section as of Olivier, in wbicb case 

 tbe type could evidently only be Mel. hihercnlata, Miill. [==/as- 

 ciolnfa, Oliv.'] ; I cannot find tbe word " Melanioides" in Olivier ; 

 and Ferussac in bis Tabl. syst. merely mentions a '' Melano'ide, 

 Olivier." Messrs. Adams included Mel. tiihercnlata in tbis 

 subgenus, but M. Brot rightly, as I consider, separates it. 



37. Melania [Melanoides] reevei. 



Melania reevei, Brot, Mater. I, 1862,; =M. lalteata, Rv.[jiot PhiUppi'] = 

 M. goliath, Hanlei/, Con. Indiea, pi. 72, fig. 3 ; var. =M. herculaa, 

 var., Brot, Mat. II, pi. 3, fig. 3 ; fide Sanley \not Brot] juv. ? =M, 

 humerosa, Gld., P. Bast. S. 1840, "Man&o, Tavoy" long. 1^, diam. \ poll. 



5 Pegu ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



Agree exactly with Con. Indiea, pi. 72, fig. 3. Anfr. 4 ; long, 

 &&1, diam. 32f mil, 



3 Myadoung; coll. Dr. J, Anderson [39, Ifi^]. 



Apparently not quite adult ; perhaps will prove a distinct, new 

 variety. 



var, lanceolata, nov. 



Con, Indiea, pi. 153, fig. 1, Burma. 



M. Brot considers tbis the young state ; I am inclined to think 

 it an adult and very constant form.
