MACROCHLAMYS. 85 



The jaw has a central projection. 

 The radula formula is : 



25 . 1 . 18 . 1 . 18 . 1 . 25 = 44 . 1 . 44 



The central tooth is rather narrow, long, tricuspid; the ad- 

 median also on narrow plates, with one side cusp ; the outer teeth 

 are unevenly hicuspid. The breadth of the central portion is far 

 greater than that of both the marginal parts. 



This species, as regards its shell, may at a casual glance very 

 easily be mistaken for M. ricJiilaensis ; it is, however, a much 

 stronger shell and not so globose. The animals are very differently 

 coloured, particularly in the distribution of colour ; and there is 

 great diversity in the generative organs.] 



b. Not labiate. 

 a'. Subturbinate.

Shell narrowly perforate, depressedly subglobose, thin, smooth, 

 dull, very finely and closely decussated under the microscope with 

 transverse and flexuous longitudinal striation, pale yellowish 

 horny ; spire conoidal, apex obtuse, suture impressed : whorls 5, 

 convex, the last rather broader, rounded but very slightly com- 

 pressed at the periphery, convex beneath ; aperture slightly oblique, 

 rather roundly lunate, broader than high ; peristome thin, columellar 

 margin much curved, vertical above, rather broadly triangularly 

 reflected. 



Major diam. 7, min. 6, height 4| mm. 



Hob. Sikhim, at low elevations'; Pankabari, 1000'; [bills east 

 of Teesta up to 10,000']. 



[From the Eichila Peak I have a large number, some very fine, 

 with the same distinguishing sculpture. The largest measures 

 8 mm. in major diameter ; and these fresh specimens are all of a 

 brown-umber colour, with a slight green tint. I found only very 

 young specimens preserved in spirit. Eight and left shell-lobes 

 are present, the last large. Extremity of foot with a long lobe. 

 Visceral sac with 4 transverse narrow black streaks. Jaw with 

 a central projection ; in the radula the central and admedians 

 are narrow and long, one cusp on outer margin ; laterals bicuspid 

 and even. Formula: 



50 . 2 . 7 . 1 . 7 . 2 . 50 about 

 59 . 1 . 59]
