MELANIIDJB. 257 



Though in bad condition, some of these agree exactly with 

 above-quoted fig. 27, Conch. Misc., and others with Brot's pi. 12, 

 figs. 1 and 4. Two of these specimens are banded, as in the sub- 

 var. cincta of typical M. variabilis. 



Long. 51, diam. 24 ; 5 whorls. 



1 Qualla Kangsa ; coll. Surgeon-Major E. Townsend. 



A not adult specimen, apparently of Brot's pi. 12, fig. 1A, 

 ribs slightly binodulose above, two distinct brown bands at 

 base. 



3 Perak ; coll. Surgeon-Major E. Townsend. 



A smaller form, unfortunately in very bad condition ; it will 

 probably have eventually to be separated, and may rather belong 

 to var. menkeana. 



4 Tongoop ? [Arakan] ; ex c. As. Soc., Bengal. 



Exceedingly close to the Samaguting specimens. One of the 

 Perak specimens also has very similar, distant, large ribs. 



1 Henzada ? [Arakan] ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



1 Naga Hills; coll. A. W. Chennell, Esq. 



5 Teria Ghat; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin- Austen. 



Apparently a very variable small form ; one or two of them 

 closely resemble Perak typical episcopalis. The absence of any 

 basal striation connects the form with M. menkeana, Lea. 



8 Teria Ghat ? ; ex c. Dr. P. Stoliczka. 



Locality I consider doubtful. It is very close to M. variabilis, 

 var. subspinosa [Calcutta]. 



5 Sibsagar [?], &c. ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 



A small form near the preceding, no basal striation. 



6 Khasi Hills; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin-Austen. 



This fine form resembles the one I have separated (perhaps 

 injudiciously) as subvar. linodulifera ; pi. 75, fig. 7 of the Con. 

 Indica, would fairly represent it, but that the spiral ribbing is 

 almost obsolete in all my specimens. 



2 Munipur; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin- Austen. 



A less conspicuous form than the preceding, which it other- 

 wise resembles.
