240 MELANIIDH, 
Long. 22, diam. 7 mil. 
7 Mauritius; coll. G. Nevill (24, 9] and J. Caldwell, Esqrs, 
2 Rodriguez; coll. J. Culdwell, Esq. 
Doubtless the insufficiently described M. rodericensis of 
Smith. 
8 Poona; coll. Rev. J. B. Fairbank [86, 113]. 
6 “Calcutta” [?]; exc. Asiatic Soc., Bengal [anfr. 5 ; 34, 12]. 
A giant, strongly decollated form ; more or less subgranulose, 
especially discernible in the young. 
20 Chandernagore; coll. Colonel G. B. Mainwaring. 
This is the form I take to be the M. pyramis of Benson, as also 
are the two following. 
4 Kathiawar; coll, F, Fedden, Esq. 
8 Locality ? ; coll. Dr. F. Stoliczka, 
3 Colombo; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 
A form with an acutely produced spire and contracted, short, 
convex whorls, very different from var. layardi. It is of course 
not the young form of the latter, which I know perfectly well. 
8 Chandernagore and Rajmahal; coll. Colonel G. B, Mainwaring. 
20 Raniganj; coll. Dr. F. Stoliczka, 
14 Barak River, Cachar and Roorkee; coll. J. Wood-Mason, Esq. ' 
Undoubtedly true typical Melania pyramis of Benson, as 
correctly figured in the Con. Indica, pl. 110, fig. 3; the Mel. 
pyramis of Brot is quite different. 
4 Bimlipatam [?]; coll. J. Wood-Mason, Esq. 
The typical form of Miiller. 
6 Locality ? ; ex c. Asiatic Soc., Bengal 
Very possibly, original typical specimens of M. pyramis from 
Mr. Benson ? ; 
Long. 34, diam. 123 mil.; anfr. 5. 
4 Locality ? ; exc. Asiatic Soc., Bengal. 
Exactly represented by Con. Indica, pl. 120, fig. 3, probably 
typical specimens from either Hutton or Benson,
