 and towards the margin the teeth ai*e nearly aculeate, only a very 

 minute notch indicating the cusp.]

 Helix celox, Theohikl (Bs. MS.), J. A. S. B. xxxii, 1863, p. 365 (no 

 description). 



Shell perforate, subturbiuately depressed, pale fulvous, thin, 

 horny, translucent, dull and not polished above, striated obliquely 

 and miniitely decussated with spiral impressed Hnes, which disappear 

 on decortiated shells, smoother and polished beneath ; spire de- 

 pressedly conical, suture sliglitly impressed; whorls 6-7, regularly 

 increasing, the last rounded at the periphery; aperture moderately 

 oblique, broad, lunate ; peristome sharp, with a white labiation 

 inside, similar labiation, marked by white bands, often found in 

 the last whorls, marking the position of peristomes formed during 

 growth.

Immature individuals often have a thin portion of the last 

 M'horl extending beyond the labiate peristome, which has evidently 

 been formed during a period of rest, probably the winter. 



The animal, as shown in Stoliczka's drawing figured by Godwin- 

 Austen, is dull brick-red in colour, with a well-marl^ed horn-like 

 projection above the mucous pore. No shell-lobes are shown, but 

 this may be due to their being small and inconspicuous. At the 

 same time the lobes may be wanting, in which case this species 

 should probably be referred to Bensonia.

Very similar to M, mainwaynnrji, but thinner, darker, and with 

 the last whorl less tumid beneath the periphery, consequently the 

 aperture is not so high ; the sculpture too is rather sti-onger, con- 

 sisting of fine, close, almost subcostulati; striae, decussated by fine 

 impressed lines ; the striae nodose or papillate under the mici'oscope 

 between the intersections. The labiation inside the aperture 

 appears to vary and is occasionally wanting.

Animal pale-coloured (in spirits) ; shell-lobes both present, but 

 not large. Kadula normal, formula: 45 . 2 . 14 . 1 . 14 . 2 . 45 ; 

 marginals almost simple, becoming unevenly bicuspid as they 

 approach the admedian teeth. [Tn the generative organs the coiled 

 ciccum is well seen, the epiphallus meeting the head of the penis 

 close to and on side of it.]
