The measurements are from an adult shell in Ool. BeddomesCollection. Bensons original type measured 29 mm. in majordiameter, but was not adult. This shell, now in the CambridgeMuseum, had the keel white with the colour deeper on each side,a coloration found in a few specimens only. E. prceeminens from Ceylon is a well-marked form withthe apex prominent and papillar, and the sides of the spire con-sequently concave. The sculpture is a little weaker, especiallybeneath the last whorl. Other Ce
