MELANIIDjE. 293 



var. [? disk sp.]. 



1 Hangwelle Ella, Badulla ; coll. F. Layavd, Esq. 

 Probably quite a distinct species. 



var. Igevis. 



Paludomus laevis, Layard, Ann. Mag. 1855, long. 11, diam. 7 lines, " same 

 Locality as P. chilinoides" ; Conch.-Cab. II, pi. 7, Jla. 1 [bene], not 

 Con. Indica, pi. 108, fig. 3. 



7 Ceylon j coll. H. Nevill, Esq. [sent as " P. lavis, Lay.' ]. 



A very distinct and well-marked form, perhaps specifically 

 separable. Much more divergent from typical specimens than 

 any of the forms so well represented by Mr. H. F. Blanford, 1. c. 

 It is a quite distinct form from that figured in the Con. Indica, 

 as recorded further on. 



15. Paludomus fulgurata. 



Paludomus fulguratus, Dohrn, P. Zool, S. 1857, Ceylon f Con. Indica, 

 pi. 123, fig. 1 ; P. chilinoides, var., Brot, Conch.-Cab, II, pi. 6, 

 fig. 11 ; ?=P. phasianinus, Reeve, P. Z. S. 1852, " Seychelles." 



1 Ceylon ; coll. H. Nevill, Esq. [labelled " very rare "]. 



Quite distinct from the preceding species, as well shown by 

 the figures iu Con. Indica. Hanley's fig. 62, Conch. Misc., 

 as P. phasianinus, Bv., is almost certainly the same sp. There 

 can, in my opinion, te no doubt of Reeve's error as to the 

 locality ; it most certainly never came from the Seychelles. 



16. Paludomus constricta. 



Paludomus constrictus, Reeve, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1852, Ceylon, " colL Layard "; 

 Con. Indica, pi. 126, fig. 1 ; P. chilinoides var., Brot, Conch.- Cub. II, 

 pi. 6, fig. 15. 



4 Ceylon ; coll. H. Nevill, Esq. [sent as " P. tumida, nov."]. 

 6 Ceylon ; ex c. Dr. F, Stoliczka [coll. H. Nevill, Esq.]. 



The above-quoted fig. in the Conch.-Cab. is, as noted by M. 

 Brot, not characteristic. The last whorl is as often ornamented 

 with rows of small dots as it is without them ; the painting 

 is, however, of a different character from that of P. chilinoides.
