as the uppermost of four '* palatal '^ processes is much in the 

 same position as that whicii I consider a second, or lower, 

 parietal plait. Although, since (in the varieties at any rate) 

 the process in question arises on its one side high on the 

 callus on the body-whorl, and on its other side on the lobe 

 of the labrum, it is conceivable that one student might con- 

 sider it a parietal, while another treated it as a labral plait ; 

 yet I think there can be no doubt that it is (in the varieties) 

 at least the homologue of tiie second parietal plait to be found 

 in all other members of Ancey's section Anisoloma. 



The var. tomh'ni, then, should be easily distinguished from 

 the type by this plait being less strongly developed, and by 

 the presence of a narrow perforation and a basal plait, absent 

 from the type.

This striking sliell, larger than the preceding species and 

 its varieties, may be horn-coloured, greyish-brown, or milk- 

 white. Normally this species has nine peristomatal processes, 

 viz. two parietal, two columeliar, one basal, and four labral, of 

 which last named the lowest is large, the central small, and 

 above this, in the sinus of the labrum, are two, very small 

 and close together. In the type, which is not available to 

 me for examination, these two small plaits may be merged 

 into one broad plait, as in the case of a shell from Inhluzani 

 Mountain, in my collection ; for the authors do not refer to 

 a pair, nor does the original figure show it. One shell in 

 my collection, also from Inhluzani, bears an additional plait 

 at the base of the columella ; but as it is only one example 

 in many, and is otherwise normal, it must only be looked 

 upon as a sport. 



As the original figure is very deficient in the detail of the 

 peristomatal processes, a new figure, drawn from a shell in 

 my collection, collected at Dargle, is published herewith. 



The dimensions of the figured specimen are as follows : — 



Height 4"5, width 2*58 mm. 



25. Pupa (Fauxuhcs) jiamphorodon (Benson). 



This species seems very variable as to size, the type mea- 

 suring 9 mm. high and 4 wide, while the only specimen that 

 1 have measured accurately is 7'5 mm. high and 3"75 wide.
