two not being in any way distinguishable), which, however, seems 
scarcely to differ from that of many typical species of Cyclophorus, 
except, perhaps, in being more closely wound, certainly not enough to 
constitute a subgenus, and Craspedotropis cannot be kept up; the 
epidermis is much the same in both, but less fringed in this species ; 
the ribs or keels are the same; but this wants the acuminate form 
and the concave sides of the spire so peculiar in C’. euspidatus. 
CycLOPHORUS SALEMENSIS, n.sp. (Plate LIII. fig. 35.) 
Shell moderately umbilicated, turbinate, with the spire rather 
acuminate, of a dull olive-green, furnished with a dirty dark brown, 
obliquely striated, thread-like epidermis, which is early deciduous on 
the upper whorls, but always present on the lowest, and round the 
umbilicus, where it forms a fringe; whorls 6, the upper five gene- 
rally smooth, convex, or the fifth more or less bilirate towards its 
termination ; lowest whorl a little descending in front, convex below, 
furnished with five prominent spiral costulations above the region of 
the periphery, and four to five below it, which latter are only con- 
spicuous towards the termination of the whorl; umbilicus spirally 
lirate within; aperture oblique, subcircular, angled at its apex; 
peristome single, continuous, angled at its apex, and suddenly con- 
tracted a little below the apex of its right margin, and slightly 
angled at the centre of the same margin (at the exit of the lower or 
most prominent of the costulations round the periphery); oper- 
culum as in C. biliratus and cuspidatus: length ~% inch, and the 
greatest diameter equalling the length. 
Shevaroy hills, Salem district, very rare; only two specimens 
were procured. 
Nearly allied to C. diliratus and cuspidatus. 
Typical specimens of all these species, except Opisthostoma distor- 
Zum, have been deposited in the British Museum.
