OYCLOPHOEUS. 61 



" This shell differs from the pale-lipped C pyrotrema, in which 

 the nperture is not fidly developed, by its more globose form, 

 Teiitricoso last whorl, small impervious umbilicus, more regular 

 sculpture above, stronger sculpture below, thinness, pale colour, 

 and the abs^ence of any medial fascia. From the pale-lipped 

 variety of C. stenomphahim with undeveloped peristome, it differs 

 by the greater breadth of the aperture in proportion to its length, 

 its non-pervious anibilicus, the absence of any carina at the 

 periphery, the more closely sulcate and regular sculjjture above, 

 the extension of the sculpture on the under side into the umbilicus, 

 its pale suite of colours, and by the absence of any colouring below 

 the periphery. From C. indicus it may be known by the absence 

 of keel, suite of colours, sculpture, and aperture." (Benson.) 



Nevill doubted its validity as a species, for in his Hand List, 

 while admitting the name, he adds in parenthesis " ? small var. of 

 C himalaijamis." It may be that the shells collected by Stoliczka 

 in Siklcim differ somewhat from the type. Another set of eight 

 shells, collected also by Stoliczka at Kurseong, near Darjeeling, 

 are separated by Nevill as a variety which, however, he does not 

 name, but he adds in parenthesis " ? C. polynema, Benson."
