Hah. — In Ceylon (Yerbury). 



Type in the British Museum. Exact locality not recorded, but 

 probably amongst the hills in the south-western part of the island. 

 This shell is allied to E. Emiliana, but is more sharply keeled, and is 

 distinguished by its smooth upper surface and by the milky concentric 

 lines on the base. 



9. Euplecta verrucula (Pfr.). PI. XXV, Fig. 6.

 superne oblique granulato - costulata, granulis elongatis in lineis 

 spiralibus dispositis ; spira conoidea, apice acuto ; anfr. 6 convexiusculi, 

 ultimus ad peripheriam compresse carinatus, subtus convexus ; apertura 

 obliqua, angulato - lunaris ; peristoma acutum, rectum, margine 

 columellari curvato, undique expansiusculo, superne triangulatim

Mob. — "Watawala, Ceylon. 



Helix verrucula, Pfr., was described (Proc. Zool. Soc, 1854, p. 50) 

 from half-grown shells in Mr. Cuming's collection. The same 

 immature specimens, now in the British Museum, were figured by 

 Eeeve in the Conchologia Iconica, No. 1327, and by Hanley in the 

 Conchologia Indica, pi. cl, fig. 9. I find in Mr. E. R. Sykes' 

 collection two adult specimens collected by Mr. 0. Collett at Uda 

 Pusselawa, Watawala, Ceylon. From one of these the figure on 

 PL XXV and the preceding description are taken.

10. Euplecta fluctuosa, n.sp. Fig. I. 

 Testa subobtecte perforata, turbinata, carinata, pallide cornea, striis

 striis infra carinam minus undatis et versus medium obsolescentibus ;

 compresse carinatus, subtus convexus ; apertura diagonalis, subrhombea,
