86 DESCRIPTION OF NEW 



Remarks. — Among the fine land shells which I owe to Dr Gibbon 

 was a single specimen of this graceful looking species. Other indivi- 

 duals may be more or less coloured. In this one the bands are indis- 

 tinct, and are of a brownish tint, being more strongly marked in the 

 interior.
