A. otipliorus from the wooded slopes of the North Jaintia Hills. 

 This variety was figured aud described bj me in the J. A. S. B. 

 1871 (p. 93, pi. V. fig. 6). From Mr. Aldrich I have received 

 three specimens of it all fully grown, and as it is so much smaller 

 than the typical A. otipliorus from Sikkim (which is as much as 

 4*25 mm. in maj. diam.), I consider it necessary to give it a 

 distinct title. It is also more depressed and has fewer whorls, 

 and the umbilical area is more open than in the Darjiling form. 

 The form of the Jaintia Hill shell is again so very distinct from 

 that of the type species that I think it will be better to distinguish 

 it as A. granuni, var. major. 



4. AlYC.EUS MAGNUS, n. sp. 



Localitij. Naga Hills, 150 miles eastward of Kohima {Muapratt^ 

 in coll. Col. Beddome). 



Shell globosely turbinate, rather closely umbilicated, thick ; 

 sculpture fine regular costulatiou next the sutural tube, becouiing 

 finer and more irregular on the apical whorls ; colour, specimen 

 bleached ; spire conoid, rounded, apex blunt ; suture moderately 

 impressed, the sutui'al tube long and well developed ; whorls 5, 

 the last much swollen, the constriction near the base of the 

 sutural tube slightly swelling towards the aperture ; aperture 

 oblique, circular, with a slight angulation above ; peristome 

 double, continuous, strong, slightly expanded and reflected, the 

 inner with a flange on the umbilical margin. 



Size: maj. diam. 11"0, min. diam. 8"8 ; alt. axis. 5*25 mm. 



Two specimens of this shell have been submitted to me by 

 Col. Beddome, neither of them in the best state of preservation. 

 It is a giant, yet modified, form of A. ncujaensis, from Asalu, but it 

 is more closely umbilicated and the costulation, for its greater 

 size, is much finer ; it is also more globose and more rounded at 

 the apex. 



5. Altceus rubinus, n. sp. 



LocaliUf. Ruby Mines District, Upper Burmah (TF. Doherty, 

 in coll. Aldrich). 



Shell globosely turbinate, closely umbilicated, of thin texture, 

 the last whorl not much swollen ; sculpture very fine close ribbing 

 adjacent to the sutural tube, rest of shell smooth, with distant 

 fine striae ; colour olivaceous ochre ; spire conic, sides rounded ; 

 suture impressed ; whorls 4, sides rounded, slightly constricted in 

 front of the sutural tube, which is fine and moderately long ; 

 aperture oblique, circular ; peristome thin, reflected, the double lips 

 being scarcely perceptible, a slight nick on the inner upper margin. 



Size : maj. diam. 6*0 ; alt. axis 5'0 mm. 



6. Altc^us ochraceus, n. sp. 



Locality. Euby Mines District, Upper Burmah ( W. Doherty, in 

 coll. Aldrich). 



Shell sub-depressedly turbinate ; sculpture rather strong ribbing
