102 FULTON : NEW SPECIES OF LAND SHELLS. 



Cataulus eonneetens, n.sp. 

 PL ix, fig. i. 



Shell fusiformly oblong, solid, narrowly perforate, dark reddish-brown '> 

 whorls 9i, obliquely striated, lower slightly convex, earlier whorls almost 

 straight, the last carinated at the base, aperture circular, pale reddish- 

 brown within ; peristome continuous, yellow, thickened and reflexed, 

 an egg-shaped opening to basal canal. Operculum normal. 



Maj. diam. (including jieristome) 8h ; alt. 21 millim. 



/^a6.— Watawala, Ceylon (0. Collett). 



Although closely allied to both hlanjnrdi, Dohrn, and riecorws, Bens., 

 it can be readily separated from the former by its yellow peristome and 

 from the latter by its smaller size, more slender form, and from both 

 by the peristome being more in line with, or under, the whorls. 



Cataulus greeni v. robusta, n.v. 

 PI. ix, fig. 1. 



Shell more solid than typical greeni, somewhat broader in form, the oblique 

 striae and crenulations at suture m«ga con.spicuous, the notch on 

 upper right margin of peristome varies from being almost entirely absent, 

 to specimens having a small but clearly defined V-shaped one. 



With reference to the distinct notch supposed to be characteristic of 

 greeni, I have before me a specimen of the tvpical form from Punduloya, 

 which scarcely shows the notch, thus demonstrating the instability of 

 that character. 



Maj. diam. 7 J ; alt. 17 millim. 



Z^a6.— Dimbula, Ceylon, 5,000 ft. (0. Collett). 

 Coptoeheilus perakensis, n.e-p. 

 PL ix, fig. 3. 



Shell narrowly perforate, moderately solid, reddish-brown, spire elong- 

 ately-conic, obliquely striated, last two whorls margined at the suture, 

 whorls 7|, slightly convex, aperture circular, brown within ; peristome 

 sub-duplicate, expanded, whitish, margins connected by a raised callus, 

 somewhat angular at upper columellar portion ; operculum normal. 



Maj. diam. (including peristome) 11, long. 23 millim. 



Hab. — Perak (Grubauer). 



C. perakensis differs from sectilabrum, Gld., in having no notch or 

 sinus on its peristome, which is thinner, and also by its less convex whorls ; 

 from anostoma, Bens., it is distinguished by its smaller aperture, less 

 convex whorls, and its more elongated form. The name Coptoeheilus 

 being said to be preoccupied, Kobelt has proposed the name of Schistoloma 

 for this group. 



Tropidophopa perfeeta, n.sp. 



PL ix, fig. 11. 



Shell globosely turbinate widely umbiUcated, solid, closely spirally and
