SYKES : SPECIES OF CATATJLUS IN CEYLON. 67 



2. C. AusTENiANtrs, Benson: Ann. Mag. Kat. Hist., ser. ii, vol. xii" 



(1853), p. 95; Sowerby, Thes. Conch.., vol. iii, pi. cclxiv, 

 fig. 9. 



Hah. — Heneratgodde (Layard). 



The figure in the Conch. Ind. (pi. cvi, fig. 5) does not show the 

 position of the notch in the lip quite correctly ; it lies more to the 

 left : the figure in the " Thesaurus " is good. 



3. C. Blanfoedi, Dohrn: Proc. Zool. Soc, 1862, p. 202; Hanley 



and Theobald, Conch. Ind., pi. cvi, fig. 3. 



^«i.— Bollegalle (H. F. Blanford). 



Specimens from Watawala (Collett) which I refer to a variety, 

 but which may prove to be new, are more elongated, more striated, 

 and differ in the mouth, which is alrdost white, and more vertical. 

 I have also a specimen similar to these, but of a yellowish colour, 

 from an unknown locality. Mr. Collett found " on Cacao trees near 

 Matale at 1,000 feet" some specimens which I refer at present to 

 a variety of this species ; they are smaller, with rich reddish peristome. 



4. C. DECOEirs, Benson: Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. ii, vol. xii (1853), 



p. 96 ; Hanley & Theobald, Conch. Ind., pi. cvi, fig. 5. 



Hal. — Batnapoora (Layard). 



The figure in the Conch. Ind. is a little too broad. The specimens 

 preserved under this name at Cambridge do not agree with Benson's 

 description or measurements, and are not this species. Mr. Layard 

 has kindly lent me one of the original specimens. 



5. C. EUKYTREMA, Pfr. : Proc. Zool. Soc, 1852, p. 145, pi. xiii, fig. 5 ; 



Hanley & Theobald, Conch. Ind., pi. cxlvi, fig 3. 



Hah. — Maha Oya, Eastern Province (Mrs. Broun). It is given in 

 the Conch. Ind. as from Travancore on the authority of Col. Beddome, 

 but he informs me that this is an error. The figure in the last-named 

 work hardly shows the notch in the upper outer edge of the lip. 

 Pfeiffer's figure is very good. 



6. C. H^MASTOMtrs, Pfr. : Proc* Zool. Soc, 1856, p. 391 ; Hanley and 



Theobald, Conch. Ind., pi. cvi, fig. 4. 



7. C. Layaedi (Gray) Pfr. : Proc. Zool. Soc, 1852, p. 160, pi. xiii, 



fig. 6 ; Sowerby, Thes. Conch., vol. iii, pi. cclxiv, fig. 7. 



I cannot trace the reference to this species in Proc. Zool. Soc, 1851, 

 given by Pfeiffer. Further, Baird in 1850 (Cat. Cycloph. Brit. Mus., 

 p. 31) published the name, though without description; and his 

 specimen proves, on examination, to be C. marginatm, Pfr. The 

 figure in the Conch. Ind. on pi. cvi, fig. 8, represents, I think, a large 

 C. marffinatus, and fig. 9 (named C. aureus) may be a large elongate 

 C. Layardi.
