MELANIIDE. 257 
Though in bad condition, some of these agree exactly with 
above-quoted fig. 27, Conch. Misc., and others with Brot’s pl. 12, 
figs. 1 and 4, Twoof these specimens are banded, as in the sub- 
var. cincta of typical M. variabilis. 
Long. 51, diam. 24; 5 whorls. 
1 Qualla Kangsa; coll. Surgeon-Major E. Townsend. 
A not adult specimen, apparently of Brot’s pl. 12, fig. LA, 
ribs slightly binodulose above, two distinct brown bands at 
base. 
8 Perak; coll. Surgeon-Major E. Townsend. 
A smaller form, unfortunately in very bad condition; it will 
probably have eventually to be separated, and may rather belong 
to var. menkeana. 
4 Tongoop ? [Arakan}; ex c. As, Soc., Bengal. 
Exceedingly close to the Samaguting specimens. One of the 
Perak specimens also has very similar, distant, large ribs. 
1 Henzada? [Arakan]; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka, 
1 Naga Hills; coll. A. W. Chennell, Esq. 
65 Teria Ghat; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin-Austen, 
Apparently a very variable small form; one or two of them 
closely resemble Perak typical episcopalis. The absence of any 
basal striation connects the form with M. menkeana, Lea. 
8 Teria Ghat ? ; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka, 
Locality I consider doubtful. Itis very close to M. variabilis, 
var. subspinosa [Calcutta], 
5 Sibsagar [?], &c.; ex c. Dr. F. Stoliczka, 
A small form near the preceding, no basal striation. 
5 Khasi Hills; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin-Austen. 
This fine form resembles the one I have separated (perhaps 
injudiciously) as subvar. binodulifera ; pl. 75, fig. 7 of the Con. 
Indica, would fairly represent it, but that the spiral ribbing is 
almost obsolete in all my specimens. 
2 Munipur; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin-Austen, 
A less conspicuous form than the preceding, which it other- 
wise resembles,
