Hal). Kenya, Kiu District (SMr?ie55). ^ 



A fine species, with longer flatter whorls than H. egregius^ 



Preston. 



Homorus egregius, Preston, 1911. 



This species is rather widely distributed in Kenya Colony, 

 varying considerably in contour, though very little in sculp- 

 ture or volution. The most slender specimen that I have 

 seen, from Urguess, contains 12| whorls, and measures : — 



Long. 520, lat. 106 ; apert., ait. 11*2, lat. 5*8 ; last 

 whorl 17'9 mm. 



The following form seems worthy of varietal rank : — 



Var. ex forma inflata. (PI. I. fig. 5.) 



DifiPers from type in greater breadth of spire and very 

 slightly more convex whorls, which number 11 J in a shell 

 measuring : — 



Long. 49*5, lat. 12*0; apert., alt. 11*4, lat. 6*3 ; last whorl 

 18-0 mm. 



Hab. Kenya, Larogi Hills, 6000-7000 ft. ; Igembi Hills 

 (Percival) ; Darugu R. Valley (^Harries) ; Lari {Gooch). 



Homorus woodhousei, sp. n. (PL I. fig. 9.) 



Shells rather large, elongate, imperforate, thin, smooth, 

 shining, transparent, pale yellowish olivaceous. Spire much 

 produced, a little attenuate from the 7th whorl ; apex 

 rounded. Whorls 10, rather convex, the first 3 smoothly, 

 sparsely punctate, with a very faint appearance of rather 

 irregular, scratchy, microscopic spiral striation^ continuing 

 at intervals on the later whorls, which are also closely 

 covered with extremely faint, straight, oblique, transverse 

 strise, hardly visible except just below the suture ; suture 

 moderately oblique, simple, rather shallow. Aperture sub- 

 ovate ; peristome simple, acute ; outer lip nearly straight, 

 receding considerably to the base ; columella erect, narrowly 

 truncate. 



Long. 23*6, lat. 5*3 ; apert., alt. 5*7, lat. 2*8 ; last whorl 

 10-3 mm. 



Hab. Uganda, Mt. Elgon {Woodhouse). 



Nearly allied to H. clarus, Pilsbry, which was collected by 

 Kemp on Mt. Mikeno and the E. coast of Lake Kivu, in 

 the Belgian Congo. The latter, however, seems to be a rather 

 larger form, and should always be separable from the more 

 northern species, unless intermediates are subsequently found 

 to occur.
