14G G. Nevill— New or little-known [No. 3, 



The same valued correspondent has also sent me from the Anamullajs 

 two specimens of a light yellow (instead of darkish brown) colour, scarcely 

 if at all streaked or mottled, whereas my type has a more or less reticulate 

 style of painting, for this form I propose the name var. subluteola. 



Colonel Beddome has further sent two specimens, from the Anamulhys 

 at 2000 feet, of a smaller, rather solid form, in colouration &c. presenting a 

 remarkable analogy to Cycloplwrus stenostoma ; this may be known as var. 

 substenostoma. 



I may mention here that the Colonel has also found in the Anamullays 

 an allied, rather larger species, very strikingly streaked with "tiger-like" 

 markings, with a somewhat similar operculum, but well characterized by 

 the much more highly developed " wing" to the peristome, for which he 

 proposes the name Ft. comatus, Beddome, n. sp. 



Pteroctcltjs nanus, Benson. 



Ann. Mag. 1851, Nilgiris, " taken with Pt. bilabiatus" diam. 29 mil. 



The Museum possesses three specimens from the collection of the 

 late Dr. Stoliczka, unfortunately only labelled " South India." These 

 agree exactly with the original description and with Pfeiffer's figures of a 

 typical specimen, Conchylien Cabinet II, PI. 49, figs. 31-3, at once charac- 

 terized by the conspicuous band at the periphery, rather raised spire, and 

 rather simple lip. Looking to the original description of Ft. bilabiatus, 

 as a guide to the exact habitat of the type, apparently the neighbourhood 

 of Salem will prove also to be the home of this form. 



Mixed with the above was a single specimen of an interesting, rather 

 more richly painted, very flat-spired form, with the whorls increasing a 

 a little more slowly, the umbilicus a trifle more open, &c, this I propose 

 to distinguish as var. applcmata. 



Alt. 7, diam. 13f mil. 



var. reflexilabris, nov. ( ? distinct species). 



A white apparently colourless form, with black apex and easily distin- 

 guished, from the preceding, as well as Pter. cy clophoroideus, by the fragile, 

 broadly reflected and duplex peristome, rather differently shaped too above ; 

 the operculum, in my single specimen, agrees with what I take to be the 

 typical form ; it is very little raised, or concave. This specimen I purchased 

 from the collection of the late Mr. Lombe Taylor, labelled " Khoondah 

 Mountains, coll. Pirie". Mr. H. F. Blanford also possesses two specimens, 

 labelled " Nilgiris ;" they are doubtless from the same habitat.
