NESOPUPA OP INDIA AND CEYLON. 347 



tree at the Cantonment of Barraekpore, near Calcutta, dur- 

 ing the rainy season of 1848. Out of several individuals for- 

 warded to me, overland, by letter in a quill, two reached me 

 alive, and creeping about when supplied with moisture en- 

 abled me to verify their affinities. The lower pair of tentacula 

 is deficient or inconspicuous, as in Vertigo; the upper pair 

 carry the eyes at their summits. The shell is often carried at 

 an angle of 45 ' (Benson). 



Mr. Gude has figured a specimen from the British Museum 

 measuring 1.75 x 1.1 mm. Fig. 11 is a copy of this. The type 

 cannot be found. "The species is characterized by the lamel- 

 late strise and the short spire as compared with the diam- 

 eter" (Gude).

 elevated, conoidal, the apex obtuse ; suture impressed. Whorls 

 4y 2 , the upper ones somewhat convex, the last about two-fifths

 arcuately ascending in front, compressed near the suture and 

 below. Aperture reniform, columella receding, calloused 

 above ; two compressed parietal teeth. Peristome expanded,

Mr. Gude remarks that it appears much nearer brevicostis 

 than to Pupa- seriola with which Blanford compared it. The 

 figures are copied from Blanford and Conchologia Indica.
