 Helic. iv. p. 793 (1859) ; id. Novitat. Conch, t. xxviii. figs. 10-12 ;

Helicarion borneensis, v. Martens, Preuss. Exped. Ost-Asien, 

 Landschneck. p. 186 (1867). 



Hab. Borneo (Cuming Coll.). 



This shell has not since been sent home from Borneo, and I am 

 therefore in doubt as to the correctness of habitat assigned to it. 



Helicarion (?) whiteheadi, n. sp. (Plate V. fig. 1.) 



Shell depressedly globose, tumid, slight subangulation on periphery, 

 not perforate ; sculpture coarse, a peculiarly wrinkled surface, the 

 lines having a very oblique transverse direction ; colour rich umber- 

 brown, pale purple and iridescent within the aperture ; spire low, 

 rounded on apex ; suture impressed ; whorls 3|, rapidly increasing, 

 the last much expanded ; aperture widely ovate, oblique ; peristome 

 thin, not reflected at all on columellar margin, which is subvertical. 



Size: maj. diam. 35'0, min. 280; alt. axis 12*0; breadth of 

 aperture 20*0 millim. 



Hab. Kina Balu Mountain, altitude not known (Mr. J. White- 

 head^. 



I place this next to Helicarion. borneensis, not that I think it has 

 any affinity to that genus as restricted, but only in its widest sense ; 

 the animal would be a most interesting one to examine, and will 

 probably be found allied to local races, and not having anything in 

 common with forms such as Girasia of the Indian Region, with 

 which the shell outwardly has resemblance. Only two specimens 

 were brought hom.e by Mr. Whitehead.
