notable difference, however, consists in the last (lowest) plica 

 palatalis running out on the peristome. In this species, too, there are 

 four plaits on the interlamellar space. "We have an original specimen 

 from Pere Heude before us of alt. 25-5 mm. ; diam. max. 7-5 mm., 

 considerably smaller than his type. Alt. 40 mm. ; diam. 8 mm.

Testa subrimata, vasta, ventrioso-fusiformis, tenuiuscnla, sericina, 

 viridescenti-flava, strigis fuscidulis hie illic ornata. Spira conveso- 

 turrita, apex obtusus summo submucronato. Anfr. 9 convexiusculi 

 sutura subpapillata albidofilari discreti, sat regulariter striati, ultimus 

 pauUum distortus, basi leviter sulcatus et circa rimam crista brevi 

 angusta indutus, penultimo parum altior. Apertura subverticalis, sed 

 leviter siibtransversa, magna, ovalis, sinulo lato ; peristoma late 

 expansum, album, superne adnatum, non simiatum. Lamellce 

 marginales, superior obliqua antice valde elevata, dein subito 

 humilior cum spirali continua, inferior ab ilia remota sigmoidea, 

 media parte nodulifera, intus subspiraliter recedens, subcolumellaris 

 valida, emersa, marginalis. Plica principalis tenuis, cum sutura 

 antrorsum convergens, peristoma fere attingens, intus vix ad lineam 

 lateralem producta, lunella dorso -lateralis longa, substricta. Alt. 

 35 mm. ; diam. max. 9 mm. ; alt. apert. 1 1 , diam. apert. 8 mm. Of 

 this magnificent species only one specimen was found by the 

 Rev. Dr. Faber on his trip to Sytshouan, probably on Moimt Omi 

 (Sytshouan). 



27. Clatjsilia imperateix, n.sp. PL IX. Fig. 4. 



Differt a C. basilissa, nobis, testa magis cylindrata, apice multo 

 obtusiore, anfractibns magis planatis, apertura breviter soluta, supra 

 lamellam superiorem sinuata, lunella distincte dorsali. — Testa subrimata, 

 vasta, subcylindrato-fusiformis, solidula, opaca, alba epidermide corneo- 

 lutea hie illic induta ; spira cylindrato-turrita ; apex latissimus, per- 

 obtusus, anfr. singulis ter vel quater latioribus quam altis. Anfractus 

 9-9| vix convexiusculi, sutura lineari parum impressa disjunct!, 

 minute striatuli, ultimus subtus leviter attenuatus, dorso rotundatus, 

 basi leviter sulcatus et circa rimam crista brevi angusta cristatus, 

 penultimo parum altior. Apertura subverticalis, subrecta, magna, 

 irregulariter late piriformis sinulo angusto ; peristoma late expansum, 

 albolabiatum, superne breviter solutum et supra lamellam superiorem 

 angulato-sinuatum ; lamella3 marginales, superior parum obliqua, antice 

 valde elevata, dein subito humilior cum spirali continua, inferior ab ilia 

 remota, sigmoidea ascendens, intus subbipartita recedens, a basi intu- 

 enti vix spiraliter torta, subcolumellaris valida, emersa, submarginalis. 

 Apparatus claustralis ut in C. basilissa, sed plica principali a sutura 

 valde remota, introrsum minus pi-ofunde intrante, lunella exacte 

 dorsali. Alt. 38-41 mm.; diam. med. 9-5-10 mm.; alt, apert. 

 10-5-11, lat. apert. 8 mm. 



Two specimens of this magnificent species were found by Mr. A. E. 

 Pratt, near a village called Mu-ssu-kow, in Western Sytshouan, at 

 an elevation of from 5000 to 7000 feet. 



The position of the lunella, which is exactly dorsal, and the clumsi- 

 ness of the apex, which reminds one of C. paradoxa, Gredler, separate
