I do not know whether Ceylonese examples have been care- 

 fully compared with the types from Satara. A specimen 

 from Saharumpore has been figured by Hanley.

 1906, p. 170, pi. 15, f. 2, 2a. 



( ' A smaller and more slender shell than jerdoni, and much 

 larger than paupercula, of which it may be a large form." 



A specimen evidently near subjerdoni, but purchased as G. 

 jerdoni, and said to be from the Nilgiris, is figured, pi. 12, 

 fig. 16. Below the suture there are vertical grooves, strong 

 and regular on the shoulder, but rapidly weakening down- 

 ward. The lip is rather thick and whitish-edged. It is a 

 wider shell than G. p. taprobanica, which seems to be closely- 

 related. Length 9.2, diam. 3.9, aperture 3.25 mm. ; whorls 7> 



51. G. GRACILIS Beddome. PI. 8, figs. 17, 18. 



Shell small, cylindric-turrite, rather solid, slightly shining,, 

 evidently striatulate. Spire long, obtuse at the apex; suture 

 impressed, crenulate. Whorls 8, a little flattened, the last 

 scarcely one-third the total length, the base slightly tapering.
