Macrochlamys ganjamensis, n. sp. (Plate CXXIll. figs. 4 & 5.) 



Locality. Ganjam. 



Shell globosely turbinate, perforation concealed, covered with a 

 thick epidermis ; sculpture, crossed transversely by fine irregular 

 close raised striation, the striae having the appearance of close-set 

 dots ; colour dull umber-brown, paler on underside and glassy ; 

 spire pyramidal, sides flat, in one specimen out of 17 the spu-e was 

 depressedly pyramidal ; suture well impressed ; whorls 6, convex, 

 gradually increasing, the last somewhat more rapidly, and tumid; 

 aperture circular ; peristome thin and marked by a dark edge of 

 epidermic ; coluniellar margin nearly vertical, weak, and very 

 slightly reflected near the umbilicus. 



Major diam. 



Size: 17-75 



Largest specimen .... ] 8-50 

 A depressed specimen . . 18-00 



This species was sent to me from the Calcutta Museum, labelled 

 M. suhjecta, P]s., but it is certainly not that species. The sculpture 

 is very peculiar and new to me. It would be interesting to see 

 the animal of this sj^ecies.

 Macrocldamys c7mos,W. Blf., P.Z. S. 1904, ii. p. 444, pi. 25. fig. 8. 

 Paun. Brit. Ind., Moll. (1908), p. 116, described as follows:— 



" Shell perforate, conoidly depressed (subglobose), thin, smooth, 

 transversely striated, and with microscopic, very fine, close, flexuous, 

 longitudinal (spiral) sculpture, vitreous, pale fulvous or whiti.sh 

 horny ; spire low, apex acute, suture impressed ; whorls o^, 

 slightly convex, the last broader, rounded externally, convex 

 beneath ; aperture oblique, roundly lunate, the breadth exceeding 

 the height ; peristome very thin, in one plane, columellar margin 

 curved, vertical above and briefly triangularly reflected. 



" Major diam. IG, min. 14, height 8 mm. A small specimen 

 measures 13x12x7. 



" Hab. Pegu ; Thavetmyo ; Upper Burma, Tsingu near Ava. 

 Type figured ( W. T. B.). 



" This species resembles Al. suhjecta, but is distinguished by 

 being more lustrous aud globose, and by its narrower last whorl 

 and smaller mouth, as well as by its longitudinal striation, which is 

 sometimes difficult of detection."
