MACROCHLAMYS. 139 



radiately striated ; spire scarcely raised, suture linear ; whorls 4, 

 depressed, convex, the last but little broader at the base, not 

 descending ; aperture nearly vertical, roundly serailunar ; peri- 

 istome simple, acute, thin, fragile, columellar margin reflected 

 below and almost concealing the small umbilicus. 



" Major diam. 5, min. 4, height 2 mm." (Jousseaume in Latin.) 



Hob. Nuwara Ellia, Ceylon. 



Probably not adult. The periphery is rounded, not angulate. 

 Only two specimens were obtained. This might perhaps be 

 M . perfucata, but as it inhabits the higher mountains of Ceylon 

 it is not safe to identify it with a species living near the sea- 

 level. 



b ; . Longitudinally striated.

 Ind. i, 1888, p. 90, pi. 14, fig. 2. 



Shell perforate, conoidly depressed, rather solid, dark chestnut- 

 brown, polished, finely, rather distantly striated longitudinally 

 beneath the microscope above and below ; spire low, convexly 

 conoidal, apex obtuse, suture shallow ; whorls 5, convex, the last 

 well rounded at the periphery and moderately convex beneath ; 

 aperture slightly oblique, rather broadly lunate ; peristome thin, 

 columellar margin oblique, slightly curved and expanded, more 

 reflected above. 



Major diam. 3J, min. 3, height 2 mm.

"Shell narrowly and deeply (perspectively) umbilicate, depressed, 

 obliquely striatulate, decussated above and below with very close 

 spiral or concentric impressed lines ; spire slightly convex, apex 

 flattened, suture marginate, subcanaliculate ; whorls 5, slightly 

 convex, the last rounded at the periphery, convex beneath, exca- 

 vated round the umbilicus ; aperture oblique, broadly lunate ; 

 peristome thin, straight (in one plane), the margins joined by a 

 thin minutely granulate callus ; columellar margin subvertical, 

 short, slightly reflexed. 



" Major diam. 5, min. 4, axis 2 mm." (Benson in Latin.) 



Bab. Mahableshwar and Khandalia (FairbanJc). 



The description is a translation of Benson's Latin one, except 

 that I have omitted the term lenticular. I had specimens of this 

 shell, but they have been crushed.
