3 Ceylon; coll. E, L. Layard, Esq, [A. S. B.]. 
A form not represented by M. Brot ; it may fairly be considered 
a connecting link between this species and M. rudis. Long. 
26, diam. 11} mil. ; decollate, 33 whorls only remaining. Com- 
pare also Mr. Hanley’s remarks, Con. Indica, page 32. 
84. Melania [Tarebia] lineata. 
Helix lineata, Gray, Sup. Wood's Index Test, 1828, fig. 68, “‘ Hast Indies” ; 
= Melania sp., Benson, Gleanings of Science, I, fig. D. and II, 
page 22 [sine nom.]; = Melania lirata, Benson, J. A. 8, B., V, 1836, 
page 782 [sine descr]. 
The synonomy of tltis species is correctly given by Mr. Hanley 
in the Con. Indica; M. Brot, on the other hand, has evidently 
not had the ‘“ Gleanings of Science ” to refer to, or else he would 
have found the name of Melania lirata is not mentioned therein.
