1889. ] SPECIES OF LAND-SHELLS. 479 
Var. y. Haud malleata, fusco sparsim radiata, sed non maculata ; 
striis conspicuis, rugosis. 
Long. 86, maj. diam. 44 mill. 
Hab. Catamarca, Andes Peruvie. 
The typical shell has a peculiarly malleated surface, and the 
indentations are rendered conspicuous by the brown markings. The 
variety, wanting these characters, presents so different an appearance 
that it might be taken for adistinct species. There is, however, but 
little difference in the form, the colouring of the mouth is the same, 
the brown rays also are similar in colour and disposition. The 
longitudinal strie are closer and more regular, taking the place of 
the irregular indentations characteristic of the typical form. 
The two shells form part of the collection of Mr. 8. J. Da Costa, 
and there is a specimen of each variety in the National Collection at 
South Kensington. 
6. ACHATINA BARRIANA, n. sp. (Plate LVI. fig. 2.) 
A. testa ovato-conica, tenuis, cornea, maculis parvis fuscis ad 
suturam et ad peripheriam teniata, maculis parvis albidis hie 
illic floceata ; spiraconica, apice obtusa; anfr. 6, convexiusculi, 
supremi leves, sequentes confertissime lirati, liris rugosis, 
ultimus spiram superans, inflatus ; apertura ampla, vie obliqua ; 
peristoma simplex, tenue ; columella leviter inflexa, oblique 
truncata. 
Long. 43, diam. 23; apert. longa 24, lata 14 mill. 
Hab. Calabar, Africa ? 
A light shell of elegant form, sculptured with very fine close 
corrugated ridges. The body-whor! is sprinkled with small white 
flake-like spots. 
I have only seen two specimens of this species ; they were found 
in company with Perideris auripigmentum, and are probably from 
the same locality. 
7. ACHATINA SMITHI, n. sp. (Plate LVI. fig. 3.) 
A. testa ovato-turrita, tenuis, pellucida, cornea, nitida, strigis 
longitudinalibus numerosis undulatis pallidis picta; spira 
elatiuscula, turrita, apice obtusa ; anfractus 6, convexi, spiraliter 
minutissime sed densissime striati, sutura impressa, haud crenu- 
lata; anfr. ultimus spiram paulo superans, leviter inflatus ; 
apertura verticalis, sinuato-ovalis ; peristoma simplex; colu- 
mella recta, oblique truncata. 
Long. 30, diam. 15; apert. longa 14, lata 7 mill. 
Hab. Calabar, Africa? 
A delicate pellucid species; a true Achutina, but approaching in 
form and texture some of the species of Glandina. The longitudinal 
streaks are faint, but numerous and pretty regular; the spiral strice 
seen through a lens are exceedingly fine and close. 
Of this species I have only seen a single specimen ; its habitat is 
uncertain, but it is probably from the same locality as 4. barriana.
