PANDA. 297 



diately below it. Palatal plicae double, in two rows, the two apical 

 or highest in position being united together by a low ridge ; the 

 posterior row are somewhat obliquely arranged. (G.-A.} 

 Major diam. 20, minor diam. 17'3 ; alt. axis 8*5 mill. 



Khasi Hills (f) Assam, exact locality unknown. 



Helix (Plectopylis*) futtoni GODWIN-AUSTEN, Ann. Mag. N. H. 

 (6), x, p. 300, Oct., 1892. Figured in Hugh Fulton's advertisements 

 in "Nature, " "The Nautilus," etc., 1892, 1893. 



This fine large species is quite distinct ; the arrangement of the 

 palatal plicae is similar to that of P. macromphalus and P. plectos- 

 toma, while the junction of the two highest palatal plicae being like 

 that in P. andersoni, its position is intermediate between them 

 (vide the characters of this genus given by me in the P. Z. S. 17th 

 November, 1874, p. 612). G.-A.

 HELIX NAMAQUANA Martens. (Unfipured). 



Sitz.-Ber. Ges. Naturf. Freunde, 1889, p. 161. Between Port 

 Nolloth and Ananas, Little Namaland. The upper surface reminds 

 one of H. (Xerophila) instabilis, the form of H. proteus. 



EUHADRA. 



H. PURPURASCENS Pfeiffer. PI. 57, fig. 10. 



Shell imperforate, subtrochiform, solid, minutely granulated all 

 over, somewhat shining. Spire con vex- conoid, tawny, the apex 

 rather obtuse, Whorls 6, slowly increasing, a trifle convex, the 

 last whorl more convex, subcarinated and begirt with white below 

 the middle, becoming purple in front, swollen, shortly descending, 

 the base rather flattened. Aperture very oblique, triangular-lunar, 

 with a pearly luster inside ; peristome brown, reflexed, the margins 

 joined by a thick shining callus, columellar margin somewhat 

 straightened. 



Alt. 15J, greater diam. 29, lesser 25 mill. (Pfr.)

The systematic position of this species is quite unknown to me. 

 It is probably an Euhadra.
