MACROCHLAMTS. 131 



convex beneath ; aperture oblique, subquadrately lunate ; peri- 

 stome thin, columellar margin incurved, vertical and rather 

 broadly reflected above. 



Major diam. 7j, min. 7, height 5 mm. 



Hob. Kirmalliah, about 5 miles from Neeinuch in Central India 

 (Button). 



The original specimens were found crawling on Dhak or Palas 

 (Butea frondosa), and it is not clear that they were mature. The 

 description is taken from two immature specimens in the British 

 Museum, presented by Capt. Hutton. The diameter of Hut ton's 

 type was 0'35 in. (9 mm.). The species is allied to M. tenuicula, 

 but is more openly perforate and less angulate at the pheriphery, 

 besides wanting the longitudinal sculpture of that shell.

Shell subobtectly perforate, depressedly turbinate. subglobose, 

 very thin, above dull, without lustre, and, besides the ordinary 

 striation, marked with fine, close, flexuous, transverse impressed 

 lines under the microscope, polished beneath, olivaceous or fulvous 

 with an olive tinge; spire conoidal, suture impressed; whorls 6, 

 convex, the last much broader, rounded at the periphery, tumid 

 beneath. Aperture oblique, large, roundly lunate, almost as high 

 as broad; peristome thin, straight, columellar margin slightly 

 oblique, nearly vertical above, reflected, not broadly but so as partly 

 to cover the perforation. 



Major diam. 16, min. 14|, height 10 mm. 



Hob. Orissa and Ganjam (Ball, Beddome). The locality origi- 

 nally given, Anaimalai Hills, appears to have been a mistake.

Shell scarcely perforate, couoidly depressed, yellowish or fulvous, 

 thin, horny, dull (without lustre), marked with very close, micro- 

 scopic, impressed, oblique (transverse, somewhat irregular and 

 wavy) lines above, more polished and radiately striated below ; 

 spire low, apex rather acute, prominent, subacuminate, suture 

 deep ; whorls 5J, rounded, the first narrow, the last much broader, 

 very bluntly subangulate at the periphery and tumid beneath ; 

 mouth large, nearly vertical, lunately subovate, breadth exceeding 

 the height ; peristome thin, straight, margins subdistant, united by 

 a very thin callus, columellar margin nearly vertical above, very 

 briefly and broadly reflexed, nearly covering the perforation.
