A little, prettily variegated and acutely tornate Minolta, 

 of which we have also seen an albino variety which might 

 be termed var. albinella. The upper whorls are smooth, the 

 1) >dy- whorl alone showing very fine longitudinal striae inter- 

 stitiallv, while round the narrow but deep umbilicus this is 

 pronoun ieately shagreened appearance; 



spiral line here are three or four in number, and four 

 between the periphery and the base.

Allied to C. holdsworthxanus J, (Jr. & H. Nevill, which 

 occurs at Karachi, with a wide range extending to Singapore 

 (Archer). From this it differs in form, being more oblong, 



in colour, no bright tinting, in 8 against 5 whorls. Seveial 

 examples occurred, all very similar.
