radial ely striated ; spire scarcely raised, suture linear; whorls 4, 

 tlepressed, convex, the last but little broader at the base, not 

 descending ; aperture nearly vertical, roundly semilunar ; peri- 

 stome simple, acute, thin, fragile, colur.iellar margin reflected 

 below and almost concealing the small umbilicus.

Hah. Nuwara EUia, Ceylon. 



Probably not adult. The periphery is rounded, not angulate. 

 Only two specimens were obtained. This might perhaps be 

 M. perfucata, but as it inhabits tlie higher mountains of Ceylon 

 it is not safe to identify it with a species living near the sea- 

 level.

Shell perforate, conoidly depressed, rather solid, dark chestnut- 

 brown, pohshed, finely, rather distantly striated longitudinally 

 beneath the microscope above and below ; spire low, couvexly 

 conoidal, apex obtuse, suture shallow ; whorls 5, convex, the last 

 well rounded at the periphery and moderately convex beneath ; 

 aperture slightly oblique, rather broadly lunate ; peristome thin, 

 columellar margin oblique, slightly curved and expanded, more 

 reflected above.

"Shell narrowly and deeply (perspectively) umbilicate, depressed, 

 obliquely striatulate, decussated above and below with very close 

 spiral or concentric impressed lines; spire slightly convex, apex 

 flattened, suture marginate, subcanaliculale ; whorls 5, slightly 

 convex, the last rounded at the periphery, convex beneath, exca- 

 vated round the umbilicus ; aperture oblique, broadly lunate ; 

 peristome thin, straight (in one plane), the margins joined by a 

 thin minutely granulate callus; columellar margin subvertical, 

 short, slightly reflexed. 



" Major diam. 5, min. 4, axis 2 mm." (Benson in Latin.) 



Hab. Mahableshwar and Khandalla (Fairbank). 



The description is a translation of Benson's Latin one, except 

 that I have omitted the term lenticular. I had specimens of this 

 shell, but they have been crushed.
