Mr. G. Nevill has expressed the opinion that the form fig- 

 ured by Reeve, which he had not seen, is distinct from 

 G. perotteti (cf. J. A. S. B. 1881, xl. p. 136). 



Var. kurnoolensis G. Nevill. 



Length 30, diam. 9.5 mm., whorls 11. Distinguished from 

 both St. nilagirica and St. perotteti, not only by its greater 

 size and more numerous whorls, but especially by the 

 (throughout) regular and prominent striation, not crenulate 

 at the suture ; from St. vadalica Blanf ord, which it perhaps 

 even more closely resembles, in general aspect at any rate, 

 by the more abruptly tapering apical whorls, more arched 

 columella, &c. Nullaymullay Mountains, Kurnool District, 

 at 2500 ft." (NeviU, J. A. S. B. 1881, p. 136).

Shell ovate-turrite, fragile, longitudinally striate, glossy, 

 pale corneous ; spire lengthened, the apex rather obtuse, suture 

 deep. Whorls 10 to 11, rather flat, the last about two-sevenths

 deeply arcuate, abruptly truncate at the base of the aperture ;

The habitat was not given by Pfeiffer, but he states that 

 the shell was taken during Hiigel's journey. Hiigel traveled 

 in Kashmir, and published an account of that country in four 

 volumes, 1840.
