Original description: — "This variety is distinguished (from 

 typical honesta) by its less depressed shape, it is scar'^ely if at all 

 angled at the periphery (the angulation being very distinct in the 

 type form), the peristome not being so broadly reflected over the 

 perforation ; the substance and texture, perforation, shape of the 

 aperture, and number of whorls are identical." 



Type of var. andcrsoniana from Ponsee (J. Anderson), Plate 

 CXXI., is in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. 



Diam. 11, axis 6i ; apert. alt. 4, diam. 5| mm. 



Nevill records : Bah. Thyetmyo, Sibsagur, Naga and Khasi 

 Hills, Chittagong and East Cachar, Dafla Hills, &c. 1 can only 

 accept his Upper Burma localities: Pudupyoo, 2nd Defile Irra- 

 wady, Nandin, and Ava. Specimens from Bhamo (Anderson) in 

 my collection do not agree with the Assam shells, and I doubt the 

 identification, many of the shells having been collected by and 

 known to me. The description of the Bhamo shell (Plate CXIX.) 

 is as follows : — 



Shell globosely and depressedly conoid, narrowly umbilicated, 

 rather solid ; sculpture very smooth and glassy, longitudinal 

 microstriation ; colour p?le horny with a greenish tinge ; spire 

 moderately high, slightly convex ; suture adpressed ; whorls 4^, 

 sides above convex and well rouaded on the periphery, the last 

 sli"htly descending : ajierture obli(iue, broadly lunate: peristome 

 slightly thickened, straight, reflected considerably over the per- 

 foration. 



Size: maj. diam. 10-3, min. 8-5 ; alt. axis 5-0, alt. body-whorl 



4"0 mm. ^ . 



Having examined the animal of M. honesta from Mule-it, 

 Tenasserim, I have found considerable differences between it 

 and M. andersoniana, especially in the radula; this last I con- 

 sider a good species. It was apparently this species, or one very 

 like it, which Stoliczka desiribed in the Journ. Asiat. Soc. 

 Bengal, 1871, at the bottom of pp. 249-250, with the figures 

 on pi. xvii. of teeth of the radula, fig. 14, and the spermatophore, 

 fis. 13.
