6oo Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. VITI, 1918.I 



Shell imperforate, globosely conoid, solid; sculpture smooth 

 below, very strongly costulated above, but not on the apex ; colour 

 pale ochraceous; spire high conic, side flat; suture impressed; 

 whorls 8, very closely wound, convex; aperture narrowly lunate; 

 peristome strongly thickened, with a single strong tooth on the 

 lower outer margin ; columellar margin very oblique. 



Size: major diameter 7 o, alt. axis 50 mm. 



The single specimen found by Mr. Kemp has been figured and 

 is the type ; three other examples were sent me by Captain Oakes 

 of this very beautiful species. 



It would be very interesting to see the animal of this species. 



[The blocks for figs, i and 3 (of Bensonia aborensis and Raliula koboe}isis 

 respt-ctively) have apparently been lost in transit and cannot therefore be utilized 

 in the present instalment of Col. Godwin-Austen's account of the Abor Molluscs. 

 It is hoped that arrangements may be made for their reproduction in a later 

 instalment. — Ed.\
