6i8 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. VIII, 



Under the circumstances it would have been more satisfactory, 

 had I seen Mr. Preston's contribution before it was sent to Cal- 

 cutta, for I should have certainly noticed the range of G. botellus 

 and the cases of wrong habitat, viz. Sarika consepfa and Clausilia 

 insigms stated to be found at Kobo on the Brahmaputra River 

 when they came from the Dawna Hills. I have them in spirit from 

 that range. Both are typical Tenasserim species. 



Record such as this is to be regretted, it goes out to the whole 

 world, and before it can be corrected no end of misconception may 

 be created, upsetting and vitiating all deductions based on geogra- 

 phical distribution. 



Glessula aborensis, n. sp. 



Localitv. — Abor Hills, five specimens {Captain G. F. T. Oakes, 

 R.E.) 



Shell elongately turreted, sides nearly straight, sculpture very 

 regular striation, less apparent on the last whorl, colour dark 

 chesnut brown in the typical shell, more ochraceous. in others, 

 spire attenuate, apex blunt, suture impressed. Whorls 8, sides 

 flatly convex, aperture ovate, outer lip thin with strong convexity, 

 columellar margin nearly straight, feeble, slightly truncated. 



Size: major diameter 5*0, alt. axis i6'25 mm. 



The species varies in form, some being less attenuate, but all 

 have the blunt apex and similar sculpture. 



Clausilia ios, Bs. , var. 



One specimen received similar to those found in the Dafla 

 Hills . 



Clausilia annandalei, Preston. 



(Text-figs. 10 C-D). 



This was described by Mr. H. B. Preston from Upper Rotung 

 in the " Records of the Indian Mwieum," Vol. VIII, Pt. VIII, Nov. 

 I9I5» P- 538- I did not know until I received the part that any 

 species of the genus were in his hands or how many examples he 

 had to deal with, the type I find has gone back to Calcutta. I have 

 two also from " Upper Rotung " (No. 6000) collected by Mr. Kemp, 

 one of which is figured (text-fig. 10 D, side view) another single 

 specimen (No. 5951) from Rotung, fig, 10 C. Among Captain 

 Oake's shells was one specimen from Shimang. Fig. 10 D which 

 though not so attenuate as 5951 is no doubt this species. 



Clausilia aborensis, n. sp. 



(Text-figs. 10 A, E, Ei,Eii). 



Locality. —Abor Hills {Captain G. F. T. Oakes, R.E.) 

 Shell rimate, elongately fusiform, rather solid; sculpture close 

 regular well-developed costulation ; colour pale ochraceous in type.
