M.VCUOCHLAMTS. 135 



peristome thin, straight, coluinellar margin curved, vertical above 

 and expanded, narrowly redected. 



Major diam. 7|, min. 6|, height 5 mm. 



Hob. Ceylon. 



The above description is taken from the typical specimens in 

 the British Museum, but they differ somewhat in colour and iu 

 the shape of the mouth from Pfeiffer's original description. He 

 described the shell as purplish browu, and the aperture as bi'oadly 

 lunate.

 Helix semifusca, apud Pfr, Mon. Hel. iv, 1859, p. 02, pt. : nee 



Deslmyes, vide Nevill, t. c. 



Shell very narrowly umbilicated, depressed, thin, smooth, glassy, 

 yellowish to fulvous horny, with very fine indistinct spiral 

 striation only visible when highly magnitied ; spire low, conoidal, 

 apex rather prominent, suture well impressed ; whorls 6, convex, 

 increasing slowly, the last scarcely broader, bluntly subangulate 

 at periphery, tlatly convex below ; aperture oblique, broadly 

 lunate; pei'istome thin, basal margin slightly arcuate, columellar 

 curved, oblique, not retlected over the umbilicus, but carried for- 

 ward for a short distance. 



Major diam. 12, min. 11, height 5| mm.

A common species in the Carnatic and, apparently, in Ceylon. 

 Nevill has shown that the true Helix semifusca of Heshayes, 

 supposed to have been brought from Pondicherry, really came 

 from Mauritius. At the same time the shell described by Pfeifl'er 

 is different from woodiana, as Nevill shows. The types of 

 H. woodiana and H. cameola in the British Museum appear to me 

 identical. 



218. Macrochlamys ? rutila, Blf. P. Z. S. 1904, ii. p. 443, pi. 25, fig. 1 1 . 



Shell perforate, depressed, glassy, polished, closely, minutely 

 and regularly striated longitudinally (spirally) under the micTo- 

 scope above and below, light chestnut ; spire very low, suture 

 slightly impressed ; whorls G, convex, the last broader, rounded at 

 the periphery, convex beneath ; aperture slightly oblique, lunate ; 

 peristome thin, upper margin slightly arcuate, basal nearly straight, 

 columellar oblique, briefly and ti-iaugularly reflected above. 



Major diam. scarcely lo, min. 13, heiglit mm.
