Hob. .Teypore, Vizagapatam. The locality origiually gi^en, 

 Anaimalai Hills, is erroneous, as in the case of M. infausfa and

Hab. A considerable part of the Bombay Presidency. Common 

 at Bombay and Khandalla, and reported from Cutch {Stoliczka), 

 Poena, iSinghar {W. T. B.), Ahmednagar, and South Canara 

 (Beddome). The South Canara shell has a higher spire. A very 

 similar form, perhaps a variety, is found at Karnul (Beddome). 



Animal pale to dark grey or blackish in colour ; shell-lobes well 

 developed, right dorsal lobe ample, left dorsal lobes in two parts. 

 Teeth in radula of usual form : 44 . 3 . 14 . 1 . 14 . 3 . 44 (61 . 1 . 61). 

 The genitalia differ from those of typical Macrocldamys by the 

 c^cum of the male organ not being coiled, [thus resembling much
