  Remarks. 
  — 
  This 
  species 
  has 
  a 
  strong 
  resemblance 
  to 
  H. 
  citrina. 
  It 
  

   may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  from 
  that 
  species 
  by 
  its 
  colour, 
  which 
  is 
  more 
  

   pale, 
  being 
  almost 
  a 
  light 
  horn 
  colour; 
  by 
  its 
  being 
  more 
  flattened, 
  and 
  

   by 
  its 
  band, 
  which 
  is 
  white 
  bordered 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  by 
  a 
  delicate 
  brown 
  

   line. 
  The 
  umbilicus 
  is 
  small.

  Remarks. 
  — 
  In 
  the 
  splendid 
  collection 
  of 
  objects 
  of 
  natural 
  history 
  

   brought 
  from 
  India 
  and 
  other 
  countries 
  by 
  Dr 
  Burrough 
  was 
  this 
  spe- 
  

   cies, 
  which 
  Dr 
  B. 
  procured 
  himself 
  among 
  the 
  Himalaya 
  mountains. 
  

   It 
  is 
  easily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  any 
  species 
  I 
  am 
  acquainted 
  with, 
  and 
  

   approaches 
  most 
  closely 
  to 
  the 
  H. 
  Ixvipes 
  (Fer.
