262 MELANIIDE. 
42. Melania [Melanoides] baccata. 
Melania baccata, Gould, P. Bost. S. 1847, River Thoungyin. 
Reeve’s fig. 1, M. henriette, Gray, from China, seems to me 
different and specifically separable. 
3 Upper Salwin [Shan States] ; coll. F, Fedden, Esq. 
Resemble Con. Indica, pl. 75, fig. 8 [var. pyramidalis, Th.]; 
one of them has a single row of spinose nodules in the middle 
of each whorl instead of three ; this agrees exactly with Theo- 
bald’s type. 
subvar. recta. 
Brot, pl. 9, fig. 6, a M. baccata, Gld. 
1 Upper Salwin ; coll, F, Fedden, Esq. 
Well represented by the above figure, but more decollate, 
only 24 whorls remaining. 
var. iravadica. 
Melania iravadica, W. T. Blanford, P. Zool. S. 1869, “ Malé and Bhamo.” 
There can be, I think, no question as to the correctness of 
uniting this form to VM. baccata, despite its smaller size and less 
conspicuous sculpture, which is, however, of an exactly similar 
nature. Long. 30, diam. 17 mil. 
80 Manwyne [type var.] and Yaylaymaw [Upper Burma]; coll. Dr, J.- 
Anderson. 
43. Melania [Melanoides] subasperata, nov. 
Theobald, J. Asiat. 8. Beng. 1865, pl. 9, fig. 6, as M. variabilis, var, bacci- 
Sera, Shan States, Nammah Stream. 
1 Shan States ; coll. F, Fedden, Esq. (47, 17]. 
This is a typical var. baccifera, Th. ; it is very close to M. 
Brot’s pl. 9, fig. 4A [‘‘ M. perfecta, Mss., Celebes ””| and also to 
his pl. 8, figs. 1 and 1B, [M. asperata, Lea, Philippines], only 
smaller; the shape of the spire more nearly resembles that of 
M. variabilis than M. baccata ; the small and contracted, almost 
rounded aperture seems to be characteristic.
