Genus Saktella, G.-A. 



In Vol. I. Plate XIX. figs. 7, 7 «, 7 h, I figured the mantle-zone, 

 extremity of the toot, and jaw of Macrochlamys honesta, from 

 specimens from Mule-it, Tenasserim ; the generative organs had 

 not then been seen in a sutHriently good state for delineation. 

 In the 'Fauna of British India'' (Molhisca), 1908, p. 237, 

 fig. 79, I figured the teeth of the radula from the same speci- 

 mens and wrote as follows: "The species honesta was included 

 in Macrochlamys by Dr. Blanford. I have placed it in a new 

 genus, Sal-iella, following Stolicicka, who considered it sufficiently 

 distinct to put it in the genus Durgella, the anatomy of the 

 type of which, levicula, was not then kiiown aud which differs 

 materially."

Original description : — " Differs from Macrochlamys in the form 

 of the teeth of the radula and the formula, the number of teeth 

 in the row being three times as numerous. The shell has the 

 aperture peculiarly oblique. The shell-lobes are as in Macro- 

 chlamys. The genitalia have not been satisfactorily worked out 

 owing to lack of material properly preserved," 



After pointing out that Macrochlamys honesta, var. andersoniana, 

 Nevill, is a distinct species, I described the animal of honesta as 

 follows : — 



" The animal (three specimens observed) from Mule-it Mountain 

 near Moulmain is pale-coloured, a dark line on the upper side of 

 the foot, with three or four conspicuous black spots on the side, 

 above the p^ripodial grooves ; these spots when extended in life 

 would appear as dark streaks. The right shell-lobe is long, 

 narrow, and pointed, and there is a small tongue-like left shell- 

 lobe. The visceral sac is spotted, the spots arranged in four 

 parallel rows. The genitalia wei'e not well seen, but the amatorial 

 organ was present, and the spermatheca was not very long. The 

 jaw is moderately arched, with no median projection. The radula 

 is remarkable for the very large number of teeth in the row. 

 Tlie centre tooth is on nn elongate narrow phite, tricuspid ; the 

 first iidmedians on simihir plates, with a single small cusp much
