and liable to be rubbed off, leaving white lines. Their devel- 

 opment is uneven, and on some specimens they would hardly 

 be noticed. Under the microscope the surface appears densely 

 pitted-granulose, exactly as in some Nesopupas. All adult 

 shells have a low columellar tooth, and one of those before 

 me from Moulrnein (fig. 7) lias a small, short parietal lamella 

 (mut. unidentata Godwin-Austen). The basal lip expands 

 somewhat, the outer lip scarcely so, but though thin it has a 

 smooth finish. It is more Pupiform than the other species. 

 Moulmein examples are figured. They measure ; 



Length 2.15, diam. 1.5 mm. ; 4% whorls. 



Length 2.1, diam. 1.5 mm. ; 4^ whorls. 



2. PUPISOMA EVEZAKDI (Blanford). PI. 2, figs. 8, 9. 



"Shell imperforate, with scarcely even a trace of rimation 

 in the umbilical region, conoidly ovate, thin horny, with 

 raised hair-like oblique lines, rather irregularly disposed, on 

 all the whorls. Spire nearly cylindrical below, conoidal 

 above, the sides convex, apex blunt, suture impressed. Whorls 

 41/0, convex, increasing in size regularly; the last but little 

 larger than the penultimate, rounded at the periphery and 

 below, not descending in front. Aperture diagonal, nearly 

 circular, but truncated above, without teeth; peristome thin, 

 all in one plane, slightly expanded, margins converging; 

 columellar vertical above, slightly twisted below, reflected 

 and united to the whorl so as completely to cover the um- 

 bilicus. Length 0.11, diameter 0.08, length of aperture 0.04 

 inch ' ' ( Blanford) .
