MELANIHXE. 285 



Well represented by the above-quoted figures in the Con. 

 Indica ; it is doubtless Benson's original " eleyans." 



var. myunis. 



Melania myurus, ~Brot, Bev. Zool. 1860, pi. 16, fig. 8, Java; ConcJi.-Cal. II, 

 pi. 28, fig. 1, Java, Halmaheira \_Laudauer} and " ? Borneo [JsseZ]." 



I consider this form scarcely separable even as a variety. I 

 have seen equally cylindrical forms from India, &c. 



3 Halmaheira; ex Mr. Landauer [16 , 7]. 



Intermediate between the two larger figures in the Conch.- 

 Cab., with more of the ordinary " scdbra " type. 



2 Halmaheira ; ex Mr. Landauer. 

 Resembling pi. 28, fig. IB., 1. c. 



var. ? 

 1 Java, Philippines or Siam ? ; coll. Baron P. von Riehthofen. 



Long. 26 J, diam. 11 mil. A very striking form, with very 

 tumid and ovately produced last whorl, unlike any figure I can 

 find. 



var. granum. 



Melania granum (v. d. BuscK), Philippi, Alb. I, 1844, Java ; fide Brot, 

 distinct sp. and = Mel. sca&rella, Mousson [not of Phil.~\ ; var. lucvi- 

 noidea, Mousson, Moll. Java, pi. 12, fig. 4, Lake Tirir. 



5 Java; ex c. A. Morelet, Esq.

 son. 



12 Mauritius ; coll. J. Caldwell and G. Nevill, Esqrs. 



Anfr. 3 ; long. 12, diam. 7 mil. An abundant small form, 

 almost exactly resembling Javanese specimens. The spiral 

 striation is quite as developed. Always strongly decollate.
