I am indebted to Mr. W. Theobald for a fine example from the 
typical locality, which is 6-5 mm. larger than the original specimen 
described. 
Original description :—‘ H. testa subperforata, depressa, glaber- 
rima, lucida, tenwi, pellucida, lutescenti-cornea ; spira vix prominula ; 
anfr. 64, convexiusculis, ultimo requlariter aucto, basi convexiusculo, 
medio profunde impresso ; apertura fere verticali, depressa, lata, 
lunari ; peristomate simplice, acuto, margine columellari in centro 
baseos brevissime reflexo. 
“ Diam. 8-9, alt. 4’. 
‘«‘ Prope Mergui Indiz Orientalis legit Th. Philippi.” 
* The form here represented with the high spire is not at all like the typical 
species I have seen ; and, from the habitat Burmah, it is evidently some other 
species, not unlike those examples of M. atricolor from Upper Burmah 
named resplendens by Nevill.
