452 LIEUT.-COL. BEDDOME ON NEW LAND-SHELLS. [June 1, 
in front of the umbilical region, the upper whorls with inconspicuous 
costulations ; umbilicus lirate within, but not very conspicuously ; 
aperture oblique, subcircular; peristome double, not dilated, and 
quite smooth ; operculum as in C. filocinctum and C. malabaricum ; 
but occasionally the outer whorl is completely arched over, leaving 
only a very small hole in the centre (as in C. latilabre): greatest 
diameter 51; inch, height scarcely as much. 
Shevaroys and Yellaghirry hills (Salem district). 
This species comes nearest to C. kalryenense (Blanf.), but wants 
the crenated aperture and is considered distinct by Mr. Blanford. 
“1 Cycrornorus SUBPLICATUS, n. sp. (Plate LIII. figs. 25, 26, 27.) 
Shell broadly umbilicated, depressed, solid, of a dark chestnut 
brown and covered with a dusty fuscous epidermis when young, 
closely striated obliquely and inconspicuously, spirally lirate, and 
and ornamented with oblique rather inconspicuous scarcely raised 
folds or plications which are angled above the region of the peri- 
phery on the lowest whorl and again run backwards; spire slightly 
elevated, apex obtuse, sutures deep; whorls 4, convex, the last 
descending slightly towards the peristome ; aperture oblique, subcir- 
cular, angled at its left apex; peristome double, both lips continuous, 
the inner white, the outer scarcely expanded except at its left apex ; 
operculum of a single horny thin layer, subconcave externally, with 
6 spiral whorls: diameter 1,1; inch, height 3 inch. 
Ceylon, on the Hayeock mountain, 40 miles from Galle. 
Very like C. layardi (Adams), but with the spiral lines much less 
prominent and furnished with peculiar oblique folds, and the peri- 
stome less reflexed. 
CyYCLOPHORUS BILIRATUS, n.sp. (Plate LIII. fig. 34.) 
Shell umbilicated, turbinate, furnished with a thick dark epider- 
mis, which is soon obsolete on the fourth or fifth upper whorl, but 
always present on the lowest one, where it forms an oblique, coarse, 
hair-like striation most prominent round the periphery and at the 
suture of the two lower whorls, and generally round the umbilicus, 
where it forms quite a fringe ; colour below the epidermis dull olive ; 
spire conical, apex subacute; whorls 6, the five upper ones smooth, 
convex, or sometimes the fifth (or fourth and fifth) with a slight rib 
round the centre ; lowest whorl with two prominent raised ribs round 
the periphery, with a broad flat space between them, below convex, 
smooth or with several raised striee, the whorl descending slightly 
near the mouth ; aperture oblique, subcircular, slightly angled at the 
termination of the ribs at the peristome; umbilicus more or less 
striated within; peristome single, thin, continuous, or slightly inter- 
rupted on the penultimate; operculum of a single layer, thin, horny 
multispiral, concave externally, nucleus small, central: height of shell 
35 of an inch, slightly more than the breadth of the lowest whorl. 
Sonth-Canara range of ghats, 2500 feet elevation. 
This shell is closely allied to Cyclophorus cuspidatus, Bens. 
(Craspedotropis, Blanf.); it has exactly the same operculum (the
