MELANIIDA, Q41 
Long. 233, diam. 8 mil. 
8 Ceylon; coll. E. L. Layard, Esq. [A. S. B.]. 
var. subcanaliculata, nov. [? dist, sp.]. 
3 Silhouette, Seychelles; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 
The nearest figure I know in M. Brot’s work is pl. 27, fig. 1 
[<M pyramis”’]. It also agrees fairly with his description, but 
cannot, I think, be Benson’s Indian form, which is undoubtedly 
the one figured in the Con. Indica, 
The last whorl is slightly subangulate, instead of convex, the 
apical longitudinal sculpture distinct, coloration sombre, suture 
slightly canaliculate. 
Long. 29, diam. 9 mil.; anfr. 7. 
var. canaliculata, nov. [? dist. sp.]. 
7 Locality ?; exc. Dr. F. Stoliczka. 
Unfortunately, there was no label with these most interest- 
ing specimens. Resembling the preceding, but the spire more 
produced, the whorls more planulate, the last whorl more 
compressed, longitudinal ribbing more developed, coloration 
brighter. 
Long. 283, diam. 8; mil.; anfr. 8. 
var. 
1 Shan States [?]; exc. Dr. F. Stoliczka [443, 133]. 
var. plicifera. 
Mousson, Moll. Java, 1849, p. 73, pl, XL, fig. 7 
4 Java; coll. Baron F. von Richthofen. 
A smaller form than the type figure, with less produced, 
shorter, and more convex whorls, bearing some resemblance to 
var. pyramis. 
var. subcrebra, uov. 
2 Bandarewella, Ceylon; coll. F. Layard, Esq.
