to distinguish from typical Arakan specimens o£ Ilelic. venustum, only 

 differing- in apparently being of a smoother and more polished texture and 

 in the spire being a shade more distinctly convoluted ; a single specimen of 

 Selic. solidum from the Naga Hills is quite uudistinguishable from the 

 above Arakan specimens. The figures in the Con. Indica of the two forms 

 are however so distinct that the types will have to be re-examined. Dr. 

 Anderson also brought back a small specimen (in spirit) of apparently the 

 same form from Nampura in the Kakhyen Hills, found under stones near 

 running water ; the animal of this specimen differs from that of my Selic. 

 resplendens in apj^arently completely covering the shell and in being of a 

 duskier, more uniform colouration, apparently not speckled at all, but of a 

 darker tinge on the mantle lobes and caudal extremity than on the rest of 

 the foot ; this as far as it goes would seem to agree fairly with the original 

 description of the animal of JSelic. solidum, J. A. S. B. 1875. 



HeLICAEION (CrTPTOSOMA) PEJ3STANS, Gld. 

 Vitrina prccstans, Gld., P. Bost. Soc. 1843, p. 100 (Tavoy) ; Con. Indica, pi. 65, figs. 5, 6. 

 The entire shell is covered with a thick and compact brown epidermis ; 

 the largest specimen in the Museum, from Tenasserim, measures, axis 27| 

 diam, 31 i mil. It is an extremely abundant species in Tenasserim, and 

 also near Moulmein ; Dr. Anderson found it abundant at Sawady and on 

 the banks of the Irawady, Second Defile. 



Ennea (Huttonella) bicoloe, Hutt. 

 Fupa bicolor, Hutt., J. A. S. B., 1834 (Mirzapore) ; Con. Indica, pi. 100, figs. 4—6. 



Fairly abundant at Bhamo. Both E. mellita, Gld., and E. ceylonica, 

 Pfr., are undoubtedly merely varieties of this most widely dispersed shell. 



Steeptaxis Theobaldi, Bens. 

 Strepfaxis Theobaldi, Bens., A. & M. 1859 (Teria Ghat) ; Con. Indica, pi. 8, fig. 8. 



A few specimens were found at Bhamo, agreeing exactly with the typi- 

 cal Khasi-hill form. 



Stenogtea (Opeas) geacilis, Hutt. 

 BnUmus gracilis, Hut., J. A. S. B. 1833 (Mirzapore) ; Con. Indica, pi. 23, fig. 4. 

 Found abundantly at Tsagain and Bhamo on the First Expedition. 



Glessula obtusa, Blf. 

 Achatina (GlessulaJ obtusa, Blf. P. Z. S. 1869 (Bhamo) ; Con. Indica, pi. 36, fig. 6. 

 This fine shell was found only on the First Expedition at Bhamo.
