52 FULTON: SOME NEW SPECIES OF MELANIA AND JULLIENIA. 



above, margined at the suture by a somewhat depressed nodulous channel. 

 Apex somewhat eroded, 6 whorls remaining, moderately convex, ai)erture 

 nairowly ovate, bluish-grey within, peristome acute 



Maj. diam. 125; alt. 37 millim. 



Hah. — Soekaboemi, Java. 



This species has some superficial resemblance to the Ceylon form M. 

 hrofi, Dohrn, but that has coarser sculpture and the whorls increase more 

 rapidly. 



Melania lauta, h. sp. 



PI. iv, fig. 4. 

 Shell thin, dark brown, ornamented by spiral rows of granules. Apex eroded, 

 4 whorls remaining, slightly convex ; aperture ovate, bluish-grey within ; 

 peristome rather thin. 



Maj. diam. 12 ; alt. 28 millim. 



Hah. — Yunnan-fu Lake, Yunnan. 



In general character very like 'hdci.% but much shorter and much more 

 deeply depressed at the basal area of the columella 



Jullienia earinata, n. sp. 



PI. iv, fig. 5. 



Shell subglobular, whitish, covered by a light yellowish-brown periostracum, 

 middle whorls somewhat darker than apex and body-whorl ; slightly rimate 

 or excavated at the umbilical area; whorls 4:,, rapidly increasing, with very 

 fine arcuate lines of growth, otherwise smooth, with two keels, a rather thick 

 and prominent one at the periphery and a less developed one situated below 

 the suture of the latter part of the last whorl ; aperture sub-ovol, very oblique ; 

 peristome continuous, rather thick, whitish and shining. 



Maj. diam. 5^ ; alt. 5 millim. 



Hah. — Yunnan-fu Lake, Yunnan: 



The nearest form known to me is Jullienia codata, Poir., but that 

 species is easily separated by its less globular form and spiral costae.
