Remarlcs. — About a year since, Mr. Humphreys kindly presented me with 

 several specimens of this shell, and subsequently I have received two or three 

 from Mr. Balestier, of Singapore. In general outline it resembles H. miiden- 

 tata, Lam. Its spire is elevated. Some individuals have an indistinct band 

 over the dark one of the periphery.

 Diam. 2.3, Length 1.5 inches. 



RemarJcs. — Two specimens of this fine latge Helix were in the collection 

 from Mr. Wood. One has a band immediately below the periphery, and one 

 above it. The other specimen is without a band : under the epidermis it is of 

 a pale reddish-brown. In form it is somewhat like H. hcemastoma, Lam., but it 

 is more globose, and has a white lip, which is more rotund. The lip is largely 

 reflected.
