between the three specimens of this Tortoise which we have in the 
British Museum Collection, two of them from Pinang and the other

toral plates, and in the size of the axillary and inguinal plates, but 
not more than is the case with other Tortoises of the same species.

verse rows of brown spots on varices ; whorls five, sharply angulated, 
body-whorl angulated just below the suture; varices six, slightly 
oblique, wrinkled; aperture white, oblong-ovate, outer lip denticu- 
lated within ; columella slightly arched ; canal short. 
_. 2. RANELLA PRopDUCTA, Pease.

3. RANELLA LUTEOSTOMA, Pease. 
Shell ponderous, solid, ovately turreted, varices prominent, nodu- 
lous and canaliculated ; spire consisting of about six angulated whorls, 
girdled with a close series of granular belts, the upper and lower 
generally the most prominent, and the angle traversed by a row of 
bipartite nodules, which latter are continued on the upper third of 
the body-whorl ; body-whorl angulated above, beaded like the spire, 
and beneath the bipartite nodules are alternate series of granular 
belts and obsolete raised lines, four rows of the former and five of the 
latter ; columella arched, closely wrinkled, wrinkles more distant and 
larger at the extremities ; outer lip much thickened, flat and coarsely 
denticulated within ; aperture oval, canaliculated at both extremities ;

Only a single specimen has been found, too much faded to deter-
