Size: maj. diam. 60*5, min. 51*25, alt. axis 29*5, body-whorl 28-0 m m. This fine shell seems to be nearest to H. humphreysiana, Lea. Mr. Theobald writes that the largest in his collection is 65 millim. in major diam. 5. HELIX (TRACHIA) EMENSUS, n. sp. Locality. Hlindet, 1200 feet. Shell subdiscoid, widely umbilicated ; sculpture ill-defined irregular transverse striation; colour horny or pale ochraceous ; spire subconoid, apex blunt; suture shallow ; whorls 7, regular, flat, closely wound, the last descending suddenly, subangulate on periphery ; aperture nearly circular, oblique ; peristome much reflected below, the margins joined by callus on body-whorl. Size : maj. diam. 13*5, min. 11*8, alt. axis 4'8 m m. This species belongs to the widely distributed group in this part of India represented by H. akontongensis, oldhami, &e. This form is much smaller, and differs sufficiently from all the species I know, that I have considered it worthy of naming. 6. HELIX (TRACHIA) CLARUS, n. sp. Locality. Hlindet. Shell subdiscoid, openly umbilicated ; sculpture irregular, close transverse striation ; colour white (but both specimens are bleached) ; spire depressedly conical, apex rounded ; suture shallow ; whorls 5, flat, subangulate on periphery, the last slightly descending ; aperture oval, very oblique ; peristome thin, slightly reflected. Size: maj. diam. 9-5, min. 8'5, alt. axis 4*0 m m. This species belongs to the Helix huttoni group of shells, but is quite distinct, especially in the shape of the aperture. Only two specimens are in the collection. 7. HELIX (GENESELLA) HARIOLA, BS, Localities. Khagan on Irrawaddy, and Hlindet, 1200 feet. There are two specimens in the collection ; one is like the type, the other is keeled-var. carinata of W . T. Blanford's collection. 8. HELIX (PLANISPIRA) SCULPTURITA, Benson. Locality. Shan Hills. 9. EUPLECTA PINGOUNGENSIS, n. sp. Locality. Pingoung, Shan Hills. Shell depressedly conoid, umbilicated, subangulate on periphery ; sculpture well-defined and regular curving costulation, disappearing on the periphery, thence smooth to the umbilicus ; colour pale homy ; spire low, apex flat and rounded; suture moderately impressed ; whorls 6, convex, rather closely wound, flatly convex below; aperture |
