MELANIIDZ. 239 
subvar. emaciata. 
12 Katchall and Nancowri; coll. F. A. de Roepstorff, Esq, 
Long. 285, diam. 9 mil. Besides the more contracted whorls, 
the coloration is darker and the longitudinal sculpture less 
developed. 
32. Melania [Striatella] tuberculata. 
Nerita tuberculata, Miller, Hist. Verm. 1774, Coromandel; var. = M. 
rodericensis, Smith, Ann, Mag. XVII, 1876, Rodriguez, long. 16, 
diam. 5, and var. major, 1.23, d. 7 mil. 
M. Brot seems to imply, 1. c., page 250, that the Nile form is 
the typical one; this is erroneous. The exceedingly common 
Madras form is clearly pointed out by Miller. It does not 
appear to be figured by M. Brot; the Con. Indica, pl. 75, figs. 1 
and 4, give a good idea of it. M. Brot is altogether mistaken 
in his views as to M. tigrina, Hutton, and M. pyramis, Benson, 
which are perfectly correctly identified and excellently figured 
by Mr. Hanley on plate 110 of the Con. Indica. 
6 Pulla River, near Cuddapa; ex c. Madras Museum.
