 nearest approach to it among the species hitherto described is to 

 be found in the Southern Indian Ennea Pirriei, Pfr.

 Habitat ad Teria Ghat, montium Khasiae ; necnon ad Nasmana, re- 



gionis Kashmir. 



Of this species the larger example from Kashmir was first 

 sent by Mr. Theobald, and subsequently another specimen, 

 obtained by him at Teria Ghat, was received. The non-occur- 

 rence of the form in the intermediate mountains of Sirmore, 

 Kemaon, and Sikkim, where other species take its place, is 

 worthy of note. It is remarkable for its depressed form and 

 lengthened aperture, which at once distinguish it from its ally, 

 V. monticola, occupying the mountain region between the rivers 

 Sutlej and Gagra. The Khasia specimen has a few remote 

 spiral depressions on the last whorl near the suture ; they are 

 probably accidental.
