22. Melania [Striatella] scitula. 



Melania scitula, Gould, P. Post. 8. 1847, Upolu, anfr. 5, " valde convexis." 



var. subcylindrica, nov. 

 4. Navigators' Islands ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



In shape fairly resemble M. Bret's pi. 24, fig. 8 [M. unicolor, 

 Pease], which is possibly scarcely specially separable ; all four 

 show traces on the upper whorls of indistinct longitudinal ribs ; 

 one of 4 whorls- long. 16J, diam. 6, mil. has the spiral stria- 

 tion of last two whorls altogether obsolete ; two others have 

 the last whorl smooth, and the fourth only is spirally striate, 

 throughout. All of them are of uniform light-green colour, 

 not banded. 



23. Melania [Striatella] sublutosa, n. sp. 



5 Gt. Nicobnr j coll. F. A. de Roepstorff, Esq. 



Long. 15, diam. 6 T V mil. ; anfr. 3. Very strongly decollate, 

 an exact " miniature " of M. Brot's pi. 24, fig. 15, " M. lutosa, 

 Gould," from Upolu. Unfortunately I have not come across 

 a young specimen, so as to be able to examine the sculpture of 

 the upper whorls, if there be any. 



24. Melania [Striatella] turriculus. 



Melania turriculus, Lea, P. Zool. 8. 1850, Luzon; = M. perpinguis> Reeve 

 [not of Hinds']. 



2 S. Palo [Luzon] j coll. E. Hungerford, Esq. [20|, 9f ; anfr. 3]. 

 Well represented by M. Brot's fig. 7A and Reeve's fig. 113B. 



1 Locality ? ; ex c. G. Nevill, Esq. 



3 Andamans; coll. F. A. de Roepstorff, Esq. [anfr. 4f ; 1. 29, d. 14]. 



One is a magnificent adult specimen, well represented by 

 Reeve's fig. 113 A ; the other two are young, with the spire nearly 

 perfect and distinct ribbed longitudinally near the apex ; all of 

 them have the characteristic brown "flecks" below the suture. 



var. nov. [? dist. sp.].
