Streptaxis B.A.YAN.E, sp. iiov. (Plate L. figs. 13, 14, 15.) 

 Testa rimato-jjerforata, globoso-ovata, costulato- striata ; spira 

 convexa ; anfr. 7, planuluti, infra suturam snhangidati ; penul- 

 timus ad peripheriam rotundatus, vix ultra idtimum, a basi 

 spectatus, projectus, idthnus subtus convexittsculus, antice cirewm 

 umbilicum compressus ; apertura oblongo-semiovalis, plica in- 

 trante parietali et 4-5 dentibus palatalibus (duobus in margine 

 dextro, imo basali, uno vel duobus colimieUaribus) coarctata ; 

 peristoma expansum, ad angidum retro-sinuatum. Diam. maj.

 Hab. in insula Ceylon. 



This is a larger and more globose shell than ^S'. cingalensis (which 

 I am inclined to regard as a variety ot /S. hujardianus) and with 

 larger and more numerous palatal teeth. It is the largest known 

 Streptaxis from the Indian area. I have had a single specimen for 

 many years and am not quite sure from whom I received it, 

 though I have always believed that it came from Major Skinner's 

 collection. 



EnjStea turbicula, sp. nov. (Plate L. figs. 16, 17.) 

 Testa breviter arcuato-rimata, turrita, subcglindrica, diaphana, 

 nitidida, subdistanter capiUaceo-costidaia, cereo-albida ; spira 

 parum attenuata, apice obtuso, suturd impressd ; anfr. 6, con- 

 vexi, duo^superiores laivigati ; apertura verticalis, fere semiovalis, 

 lamella una tortd parietali intrante, alia columellari obliqad 

 interna, tertid basali profunda, et tubercuUs duobus, uno basali, 

 alio in margine dextro, ambobus scepe obsoletis, coarctata ; peri- 

 stoma album, callosum, expansum, vix ad angidum sinuatmn, 

 marginibus callo lainelUfero junctis. Long. 5, diam. 1| ; ap. 

 long. 1| 7nm. 

 Hab. in montibus Animalai dictis, et in provincia Wynaad 

 IndisB meridionalis (Beddome). 



The sculpture and dentition can only be distinctly seen in fresh 

 adult specimens, in old shells some of the teeth in the aperture 

 disappear. As in the allied forms E. pirriei, E. macrodon, &c., 

 the dentition is well developed in half-grown shells. 



This species is nearest to the JN'ilgiri E. macrodon, but dis- 

 tinguished by moi-e distant sculpture, by the teeth in the mouth 

 being smaUer, and especially by the absence of the great transverse 

 basal lamella of that species. 



Ennea beeticollis, sp. nov. (Plate L. figs. 23, 24.) 

 Testa turrita, subfasiformis, costulis filiformibus verticalibus or- 

 nata ; spira sensim attenuata, apice obtuso, sutura impressa ; 

 anfr. 11, convexi, primi 3 laivigati, idtimus angustior, antice 

 breviter solutus, descendens et creberrime costulaius, utrinque 

 versus basin scrobiculo compressus ; apertura rotundo-ovalis, 

 lamina validd curvatd intrante parietali, et plica palatali 

 oppositd, coarctata, sinu ad dextrum subrotundo fere separata ; 

 peristoma albidum, expansum, reflexum. Long. 8, diam. 2 ; 

 up, long. Ig mm.
