Rather more distinctly granulose. Long. 23, diam. 8} mil. 
subvar. ? 
2 Halmaheira ; ex Mr. Landauer [as ‘<M. lirata, Bens.’’}.

1 Cochin-China; ex c. P. Bouvier, Esq. (28, 103]. 
An interesting form with the granular sculpture more or less 
indistinct, its remarkable nodulose appearance being altogether 
wanting ; this is, however, also in the type form not a perma- 
nent character, one or two of my specimens, found with the 
other Tenasserim ones, approaching the Cochin-China variety 
very closely in this respect,
