small ; and, on comparison, it proves to be even narrower than 

 that of C. stenomphalum, Pfeiffer. C. porphyriticum is also allied 

 to, but quite distinct from, Mousson's C. Zollingeri.

Hab. ad Darjiling Himalayee Sikkimensis. 



This shell has apparently an affinity with the Philippine C. 

 minus of Sowerby, but differs in its more tapering form, smaller 

 size, perforation, diverse sculpture, and in the strangulation of 

 the last whorl behind the aperture, in which feature it exhibits 

 an approach to the more shortened C. gibbum, Fer., from Turon 

 in Cochin China, and to the depressed C. strangulatum, Hutton, 

 so abundant in the more western portion of the Himalaya. 



7. C. filocinctum, nobis, n. s.

 rale glabrum lineis frequentibus elevatis cingulata, albida, epider- 

 mide fusca induta ; spira elevata, subconica, sutura impressa, apice 

 papillari ; anfractibus A\ rotundatis, ultimo cylindraceo ; apertura 

 circulari, superne vix angulata, prope umbilicum leviter sinuata,

 exteriori breviter reflexo ; umbilico profundo, perspectivo. 



Diam. maj. 3, minor 2|, alt. 2\ mill. 



Hab. ad apices montium Nilgherries. Teste Jerdon. 



This little species is distinguished by the spiral ridges, which 

 are numerous between the shoulder of the whorl and the umbi- 

 licus, but are deficient near the suture, as well as by its double 

 peristome. The epidermis is deciduous. 



8. C. sarritum, nobis, n. s. 



Testa subimperforata, ovato-conica, liris spiralibus crebris, sulcis an- 

 gustis divisis, munita, ferrugineo-albida, apice rubente, sutura bene 

 impressa, apice obtuso ; anfractibus 4 valde convexis ; apertura 

 vix obliqua, ovata, f longitudinis sequante, peristomate acuto, ex- 

 pansiusculo, marginibus disjunctis, columellari superne angulato, 

 pariete calloso.
