34 G. Ncvill — List of the Mollusca of [No. 1, 



Typical 31. haccata, of three whorls only, long 38^, diam. 20 mil. 



31. Iravaclica, from Yaylaymaw, of three whorls only, long. 30, diam. 

 17 mil. 



At the latter locality the species was found in great abundance by Dr. 

 Anderson on the Second Expedition, as it was also on the First Expedition 

 at Bhamo and Manwyne ; the small specimens, so well figured by M. Brot 

 (Mater. Mel. iii, pi. 4, figs. 12 — 13) were from the latter locality ; these 

 specimens had been given in exchange by the Museum to the late Dr. 

 Stoliczka, by whom they were sent to M. Landauer. 



Melania (Melanoides) Eeevei, Brot. 



Melania (MelanoidesJ Meevei, Brot, Mater. Mel. i., p. 46 and Conch. Cab., pi. 11 fig. 4. 

 M. balteata, Ev., pi. 20, fig-. 144 B (not of Phil.). 



A rather young specimen of this very distinct species was well figured 

 as above by Reeve ; an adult specimen of the same species is figured 

 in the ' Con. Indica,' pi. 72, fig. 3. It is a well characterized species, quite 

 distinct from 3£. variabilis, peguensis, and gloriosa, and of these three it is 

 nearest allied to the last. There are specimens in the Museum from Noung- 

 benzick in Pegu; it was also obtained plentifully at Mandalay on the 

 First Expedition, and on the Second Expedition at Myadoung. 



var. IMBRICATA, Hani. 



Melania Heevei, var., Brot., Conch. Cab., pi. 11, fig. 4 A. 

 Melania Meevei, var. imbricata, Con. Indica, pi. 153, fig. 4. 



About twelve specimens of this variety were obtained at Yaylaymaw. 

 It can be easily distinguished from the type form by its more developed 

 sculpture ; it has the same characteristic regular transverse ridges below 

 the sutui-e (four or five in number), but in addition has throughout other 

 interrupted transverse ridges, broader than those near the suture and wider 

 apart ; it has also numerous longitudinal ribs, possessing a tendency at 

 times to become obsolete (varying much in this respect in individual speci- 

 mens), these ribs commence at the termination of the suturalrow of regular 

 transverse ridges, and are generally distinct only on the last few whorls ; 

 the columella is stained a rich brown colour. 



Var. imbricata, of nine whorls, long. 65, diam. 26 mil. 



, Melania (Plotia) scabra, Miill. 



Buccinwn scahrum, Miill., Hist. Verm., p. 136 (Coromandel) ; Con. Indica, pi. 73, figs. 1-4. 

 Melania scabra, Miill. 



A few specimens were found at Myadoung j they agree perfectly with 

 Reeve's fig. 156 B {3£. s2)inulosa, Lam.).
