Shell dextral, conical ; whorls 6, rounded, margined ahove, the last 

 somewhat inflated ; suture well-impressed ; columella white or brown- 

 ish, terminating in a twisted plait ; aperture ovate, white ; lip simple, 

 thickened within ; striae longitudinal, fine ; colour of shell green, or 

 brown on the last whorl, above white, with fine longitudinal veins of 

 the colour of the epidermis. 



This species seems to be intermediate between A. producta, Reeve, 

 and A. venulata. 



53. ACHATINELLA ASSIMILIS (PL XXIII. fig. 53). A. testa CO- 



nico-elongata, superne acuta ; anfractibus 7, rotundis ; sutura bene 

 impressa ; apertura parva, ovata; columella brevissima plicata con- 

 torta ; labro acuto, interne subincrassato ; colore albo vel rubro- 

 flavido, dimidio inferiori anfractus ultimi inter dum albido, interne 

 albo-niveo.

 Hab. W. Muni. 



Shell conically elongate, acute above ; whorls 7, rounded ; suture 

 well-impressed ; aperture small, ovate ; columella very short, plicate, 

 twisted ; lip acute, thickened slightly within ; colour white or salmon, 

 sometimes the lower half of the last whorl white, and the rest of sal- 

 mon, within pure white. 



This species might be mistaken for a dwarf variety of A. Mastersi. 

 Its habits are quite different, its locality distant, and the shell has an 

 aspect quite distinct from the small varieties of A. Mastersi, as found 

 on W. Mani. 



54. ACHATINELLA RETICULATA (PI. XXIV. fig. 54). A. testa co- 

 nico-ovata; anfractibus 6, perrotundis ; sutura mediocri superne, 



profunda supra anfr. ultimum ; apertura parva, ovata ; colu- 

 mella brevi cum dente plicato, fere transverse ; colore fusco vel 

 castane ocum lineis et notis transversis albidis, Jiguras varias 

 epidermate imponentibus , speciem texti spiculati vel operis acupicti 

 pr(bentibus.

 except at the junction of the last whorl, which is deep ; aperture 

 small, ovate ; columella short, with a plicate tooth, nearly transverse ;

 laid on to the epidermis in various patterns like lace-work or em- 

 broidery.
