FULTON : NEW SPECIES OF LAND SHELLS. 103 



obliquely striated on lower whorls, spiral striae wider apart and more 

 conspicuous at umbilical area, yellow at apex, light brown below with 

 numerous narrow spiral bands of a darker colour ; whorls 5^^, rapidly 

 increasing, very convex, last rounded ; aperture sub-circular, moderately 

 oblique, almost black within ; suture crenulated ; peristome white ; 

 moderately expanded and shortly reflected, almost continuous, sUghtly 

 interrupted at place of attachment to whorl. Operculum normal. 



Maj. diam. 29 ; alt. 23 millim. 



Hah. — Fort Dauphin, Madagascar (Sikora). 



In coloration this shell somewhat resembles halfeata, Sowb., and 

 moulinsi, Grat., but the latter is a much more depressed form and the 

 former not so depressed ; it may be readily distinguished from both 

 by its expanded and reflected peristome and its almost black aperture 

 contrasting so strongly with its white peristome. 



Tropidophora plurilirata, n.sp. 

 PI. ix, hgs. 8rt, h. 



Shell moderately umbilicate, globose-conic, rather thick, apex smooth, 

 elsewhere covered with close-set spiral lirae crossed by fine oblique striae, 

 about 40 on last whorl, yellowish brown, with rather indistinct oblique 

 stripes of darker colour, sometimes with a narrow dark brown subperi- 

 phereal band ; whorls 5, convex, somewhat channeled at suture of middle 

 whorls ; aperture sub-oval, interior with brown spiral thread-like lines 

 on a whitish ground ; peristome slightly thickened and narrowly expanded, 

 continuous, angled at upper part at point of attachment to last whorl ; 

 operculum normal. 



Maj. diam. 16J ; alt. 16J millim. 



,, ,, (banded specimen) 15^ ; alt. 16 millim. 



Hah. — Near Grahamstown, Cape Colony (Miss Leppan). 



The spiral lirae are much closer and more numerous than in any of 

 the oth r S. African forms. T. jolurilirafa, insularis, Pfr., and transvaal- 

 ensis, M. and P., are all similar in form and coloration.
