MELANIIDA. 305 
v7, 
Agree exactly with the figure in Con. Indica, and with 
original description and measurements. 
var. subpicta. 
2 Yatteantotte, Ceylon; coll, H F. Blanford, Esq., ex c. As. Soc., 
Bengal. 
var. major [? dist. sp.]. 
Long. 23, diam. 20 mil. 
4 Ceylon ; coll. H. Nevill, Esq. [as “ P. ? Hanleyi””}. 
The preceding two forms do not agree well together, nor with 
any figure in the Conch.-Cab. or Con. Indica. The very broad 
and excavate columella, faintly stained with light brown, is a 
good characteristic of all the group. 
42, Paludomus [Tanalia] stomatodon. 
Paludomus stomatodon, Benson, Ann. Mag. 1862, Travancore; sect. Stoma- 
todon. 
20 Travancore, at 1,000 to 5,000 ft.; coll. Rev. S. B. Fairbank. 
43. Paludomus [Tanalia ?], n. sp. 
1 Khasi Hills ; coll. Colonel H. H. Godwin-Austen. 
Long. 18, diam. 15 mil. 
Unfortunately, does not possess its operculum. There is 
nothing like it in Mr. H. F. Blanford’s collection, nor can I 
find any figure at all approaching it. 
44 Paludomus [Tanalia] violacea. 
Paludomus violaceus, Layard, Ann. Mag. 1855, long. 6, diam. 5 lines ; 
"© between Gillymalle and Pallabaddoola, near Adam’s Peak ;” Con. 
Indica, pl. 122, fig. 1; not Philopotamis violacea, Brot [= Phil. 
ventricosula Nev. ]. 
3 Ceylon; coll. H. Nevill, Esq. [as “ P. violacea’’]. 
The opercula are those of a true Tanalia; I do not think 
there can be any doubt whatever that this is the true 7’. violacea. 
The specimens were collected by my brother in the original 
locality.
