H. Tickelli, n. s. 



Testa orbiculata, depresso-conoidea, acute carinata cornea, apice 

 polito, supra transverse rugose striata, subter glabra, setnepolita — 

 Anfract. 6| sutura impressa, apertura coarctata. Perist. incrassato 

 albido, dentibus muuito, hoc prope uinbilicum, illo prope peri- 

 pheriam duplicato, sive bipapilloso. 



Diam. 0.36. Alt. 0.21. Habitat prope Maulraein, non raro. 



This shell closely resembles H. Capessens, bub differs from that 

 shell in the two outer teeth being united to form one double one. 

 I have much pleasure in naming it after the well known Indian 

 ornithologist, whose hospitality I experienced at Maulmein. 



H. Phayrei, n. s. 



Testa lenticulari, infundibuliforme-umbilicata, obtuse carinata 

 lineis transversis flexuosis et confluentibus fortiter striata, anfract. 

 6, convexiusculis, sutura impressa, apertura obliqua, subquadrata. 

 Perist. tenui, reflexiusculo. 



Diam. 0.68. Alt. 0.30. Habitat prope ripas Irawadi regno Bir- 

 manico — inter Ava et Prome. 



This shell was procured by Mr. Oldham, whilst attached to the 

 late embassy to Ava, and is named after the Envoy whose devotion 

 to Natural History is so well known. It closely resembles H. Rota- 

 toria, but has a more elevated spire, coarser sculpture, a narrower 

 umbilicus and is less sharply keeled. 



H. Zoroaster, n. s. 



Testa umbilicata depresso-globosa, minute striata, cornea ad peri- 

 pheriam rufro unifasciata ; (interdum non cincta, pallide cornea sive 

 vitrea ;) Anfract. 5. Apertura parum obliqua, rotundato luuari, 

 Perist. tenui, reflexiusculo. 



Diam. 0.62 Alt. 0.34. Habitat prope ripas Irawadi regno Bir- 

 manico, inter Ava et Prome. 



This shell unites the characters of H. Scalpturita, H. similaris. 

 and H. Bolus. From the few specimens I have it is not quite clear 

 if the banded and bandless shells do not represent distinct species, 

 the bandless shells being rather larger than the rest. 



H. Akowtongensis, n. s. 



Testa lenticulari, depressa acute carinata infundibuliforme umbi- 

 licata transverse striata fuesco-cornea Anfract. 5| Perist. tenui, re- 

 flexiusculo.
