I popped over to the Music Block and the Head of Department confirms 
that I am correct.

What I expect that you will find is that most rings of 6 described as 
being "Minor" are the same notes as the first 6 in the melodic scale 
rising from the tonic, Viz

C D Eb F A B

aka in back rounds.

To be a Harmonic Minor ring the B would have to be a Bb.

I am not sure if this means you can describe a ring as being Melodic 
Minor or not!
