******* Shell devoid of apex, the spire being invariably mueb eroded; general appearance tbat of M. 
pyramis, but difiers in being coarser, in wanting the strong and prominent longitudinal 
furrows which ebarakterise that species and which are observable througkout its lengtb; tbe 
outer lip also bas a tendency to be more produced, wkile tbe flame-sbaped streaks of colou- 
ring are narrower, closer aud less devious or zig-zag, offen becoming bifid or pronged on tbe 
body-wborl; epidermis pale olive-green or olive-brown, ornamented witb close, narrow, irregulär 
transverse darks. General number of whorls in eroded and decollated specimens five, thougb 
9 — 10 would appear to be the correct number; wrinkled transversely by coarse lines ofincrease; 
tbe upper angle of tbe aperture is never so acute as in M. pyramis and the sutures are 
deeper and whorls more tumid at their junction. — Not peculiar to Afghanistan being first dis- 
covered by me in 1836 in a garden tank at Pinjore below Simla; Pinjore Shells (5. whorls) 
measure l. 5 / 8 inch. and are finer tban Afgban specimens which do not exceed 1.3/ g inch. M. py- 
ramis from Dadur (Ganget. prov.) measures no more tban l. 1 / 2 in. for 12 whorls. (H.)
