The last five species, of which the animals have not been examined, 

 may belong to Sitala or some other genus. 



The following are descriptions of the forms for which new names 

 are proposed : — 



1. Akiopiiaxta Canarica, n.sp. PL XXV, Fig. 1. 



Testa sinistrorsa, aperte perforata, globoso-turbinata, fusco-comea, 

 solidiuscula, confertim rugose striata, lineis impressis snhohsoletis 

 superne decussata; spira conoidea, apice subacuto, sutura parum 

 impressa ; anfr. 5, superne subplanulati, ultimus ad peripheriam 

 carinatus, infra carinani \ersus aperturam dcseendens, subtus inflatus, 

 circa umbilicum modice compressus; apertura diagoualis, rotundata; 

 peristoma rectum, vix expansiusculum, incrassatum, margine 

 colnniellari late rcfiexo. Maj. diam. 80, min. 245, axis 21 mm. 



IJdh. — South Canara, ad latus occidentale Peninsulie Indicse 

 (Beddome). 



This is nearly allied to A. intumescens, and should perhaps be 

 regarded as a small thick variety with a higher spire, more acute 

 apex, stronger decussated sculpture, a distinct keel, and wider 

 umbilicus. Three specimens obtained by Colonel Beddome are in his 

 cillcction. The dimensions of the largest are given above; the 

 smallest measures 26, 2T5, and 1 7*5 mm. 



2. ARiornvNTA nEiERJEA (A. thyrei n.subsp.). PI. XXV, Fig. 2. 



Testa sinistrorsa, profunde umbilicata, depressa, tenuiuscula, 

 oblique striata, hand decussata, periostraco fulvo-corneo induta, sub 

 periostraco rubello-albida, fascia exigua pallida, subtus castaneo- 

 limbata, intra aperturam conspicua, ad peripheriam circumdata ; 

 spira convcxa, apice perobtuso, sutura versus aperturam impressa ; 

 anfr. 5, superne planulati, ultimus eonvexior, baud descendens, vix 

 angulatus, subtus mediocriter inflatus, nitidus, radiato-striatus ; 

 apertura obliqua, rotundatodnnaris, intus pallide castanea ; peristoma 

 vix obtusum, rectum, marginibus convergentibus, eallo tenui junctis, 

 columellari curvato-obliquo, juxta umbilicum antice triangulatim 

 producto. Diam. maj. 37, min. 30, axis 21 mm. 



II lib. — Prope Sispara, ad latus occidentale montium Xilgiri Indian 

 australis.
