248 MELANIIDA. 
Long. 28, diam. 104 mil.; anfr. 63. 
Not unlike Troschel’s Mel. adspersa. 
var. minor [? M. tuberculata, var.]. 
10 Mahé, Seychelles; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 
A small, strongly decollate form, without longitudinal sculp- 
ture; appears to me fairly intermediate between the small, 
truncated Mauritian variety of M. tuberculata and typical 
M. commersoni. 
Sub-Genus MELANOIDES, H. & A. Adams. 
Gen. Moll. I, page 296, 1854, type [as figured] Mel. asperata, Lam, as 
Genus Melanioides, Olivier. 
I am unable to accept this section as of Olivier, in which case 
the type could evidently only be Mel. ‘uberculata, Mill. [=/as- 
ciolata, Oliv.|;I cannot find the word “ Melanioides’”’ in Olivier ; 
and Férussac in his Tabl. syst. merely mentions a “ Mélanoide, 
Olivier.” Messrs. Adams included Mel. tuberculata in this 
subgenus, but M. Brot rightly, as I consider, separates it. 
37. Melania [Melanoides] reevei. 
Melania reevei, Brot, Mater. I, 1862, ; =. balteata, Rv.[not Philippi] = 
MM. goliath, Hanley, Con. Indica, pl. 72, fig. 8; var. =M. herculea, 
var., Brot, Mat. IT, pl. 8, fig. 3; fide Hanley [not Brot] suv. ? =U, 
humerosa, Gld., P. Bost. 8. 1840, “Manko, Tavoy,” long. 14, diam. } poll. 
5 Pegu; exc. Dr. F, Stoliczka. 
Agree exactly with Con. Indica, pl. 72, fig. 3, Anfr. 4; long. 
663, diam. 322 mil. 
3 Myadoung; coll. Dr. J. Anderson [39, 163}. 
Apparently not quite adult; perhaps will prove a distinct, new 
variety. 
var. lanceolata, nov. 
Con, Indica, pl. 153, fig. 1, Burma, 
M. Brot considers this the young state ; I am inclined to think 
it an adult and very constant form.
