Hah. Nicobar Islands : Pulo Panjang (lieinhardt, Didrichsen). 



The species is now ligured for tbe first time from a specimen in 

 the Beddome Collection ; it measures : 15-5 x 13-75 mm. in diameter, 

 alt. 15 mm. 



In the British Museum I found three specimens received from 

 the Copenhagen Museum in 1866, labelled Cyclopliorus helicoides, 

 Toldi, Little Nicobar, Galatbea Expedition. Now the only 

 species mentioned in tbe Yoldi Catalogue under that name is 

 Grrateloup's, which belongs to a Leptopoma. The specimens in 

 question differ from C. nicobaricus only in size, measuring : diam. 

 maj. ^0, min. 18*5, alt. (iucl. apert.) 21 mm. They may be 

 referred to as var. major, nov. One specimen has the umbilicus 

 a little less covered by the columellar margin of the peristome.
