244 MELANIIDA. 
var. cochinchinensis, nov. 
1 Cochin China; ex ce. P. Bouvier, Esq. 
Long. 34, diam. 11 mil. ; very like the preceding, spire more 
produced, and longitudinal sculpture obsolete on the last whorl. 
It is not the M. pyramis, Phil. or M. gemmulata, Rv. Possibly, 
it may be the species recorded under that name by Morelet, 
Ser. Conch. IV. 
var. Chinensis, nov. 
3 Swatow ; coll. R. Hungerford, Esq. 
Long. 25, diam. 10 mil. ; anfr. 5. 
Some resemblance to M. Brot’s pl. 14, fig. 1, his M. hanleyt 
from “India” ; it differs from the following subvariety by its 
more everted aperture and by the columella not being bent 
back. 
4 Yomati, opposite Hongkong; coll. R. Hungerford, Esq. 
Anfr. 5 ; long. 28, diam. 93. Fairly represented by M. Brot’s 
pl. 26, fig. 11F, from ‘‘Mauritins and Madagascar.” The only 
difference I can see is the spirally twisted columella and some- 
what brighter coloration. 
8 Amoy ; coll. R. Hungerford, Esq. 
With the longitudinal sculpture more or less obsolete. 
var, dembeana.
