off two short, strong ridges, one posteriorly and one anteriorly ; 

 below these plates occurs a thin fold, close to the lower suture, 

 revolving as far as the aperture, where it unites with the flexuous 

 ridge. Palatal folds 5 ; the three upper horizontal ; the first 

 straight and having an elongated denticle below it at about the 

 middle ; the second a little deflected posteriorly ; the third short, 

 crescent-shaped ; the fourth vertical, flexuous; the fifth horizontal, 

 abruptly deflected anteriorly above and posteriorly below. Poste- 

 riorly between the first and fifth folds occur six denticles, placed 

 vertically in a row, the first in a line with the elongated denticle 

 below the first fold, the second a little above and the third a little 

 below the second fold, the fourth in a line with the upper 

 extremity, the fifth near the middle, and the sixth a little below 

 the lower extremity of the vertical fold.

Like the last species, the present form was based upon material 

 sent to me by the late Miss Linter and found among a miscel- 

 laneous collection of Plectopylis from Burma. A shell in the 

 possession of Mr. E. R. Sykes, labelled P. achatina, was also 

 referred to this species. Subsequently I discovered two specimens 

 in the late W. T. Blanford's collection, labelled " Taunghu, Pegu ; 

 H. E. Blanford." I have also seen two specimens collected by 

 Theobald, which are now in the possession of Mason's College, 

 Birmingham, and which were labelled P. repercussa ; the latter

Plectopylis magna differs from P. ponsonbyim being much larger, 

 more solid, and darker in colour, in having one whorl more, in the
