1875.] LIEUT.-COL, BEDDOME ON NEW LAND-SHELLS. 451 
umbilicus furnished with very prominent spiral ribs up to the very 
_ apex of the shell; aperture a little oblique, subcircular; peristome 
half-double ; the inner lip dilated and much angled on its outer mar- 
gin, small and continuous round the inner margin, outer lip irregu- 
larly angled on its outer margin, and much dilated at the inner basal 
margin, where it suddenly terminates, not being continued round the 
inner portion of the aperture; operculum externally milky white, 
shelly, papilliform, smooth, flattened at the apex, where it is furnished 
with a small circular aperture, inner layer membranaceous, slightly 
concave externally, with a central diaphanous nucleus, multispiral, 
the edges of the whorls raised: height of shell ;3; inch, the greatest 
diameter equalling the height. 
South-Canara ghats, 2000-3000 feet elevation. 
The operculum is an exaggerated form of that of the typical 
Cyathopoma filocinctum, the margins of the outer shelly layers are 
arched over and almost meet in the centre, forming a papilla with 
only a small hole in the centre. 
CyATHOPOMA TRAVANCORICUM, nu. sp. (Plate LIII. figs. 30 
and 31.) 
Shell deeply and prominently umbilicated, turbinato-globose, 
glabrous, with rather obsolete vertical chestnut markings, spirally 
lirate, but not striated vertically ; spire conical, apex subacute ; whorls 
6, the lowest with seven to eight carinations, commencing near the 
suture and generally but not always interrupted by a small space in 
front of the umbilical region, the same swelling and contraction is 
present near the mouth as in C. Jatilabre, the penultimate and 
antepenultimate with two to four carinations; the umbilicus fur- 
nished with very prominent spiral ribs up to the very apex of the 
shell; aperture a little oblique, subcircular; peristome double, inner 
lip continuous, dilated and crenated on its outer and lower margins, 
outer lip irregularly angled on its outer margin and reflexed, much 
dilated at its inner basal margin, subobsolete round the inner mar- 
gin; operculum as in C. latilabre: greatest breadth + inch, extreme 
height about the same. 
Travancore mountains, 3000 feet elevation. 
Very similar to C. latilabre, but rather larger, and with many 
more carinations on the lowest whorl, and the inner peristome cre- 
nated instead of simply angled; the swelling near the aperture is 
peculiar to those two species, and somewhat as in Alyceus, but in 
a much less marked degree. 
CyaTHOPOMA SHEVAROYANUM, n.sp. (Plate LIII. figs. 32 
and 33.) 
Shell prominently umbilicated, turbinate, a little depressed, 
spirally lirate, epidermis dark fuscous, scarcely hairy, but with 
numerous very minute vertical striations, and a few larger prominent 
distant ones ; spire conical; whorls 5, the lower one with four rather 
inconspicuous costulations round the region of the periphery, smooth 
in the upper portion near the suture, and with a broad —- space
