4 LAND AND FRESHWATER 



conic, sides rounded ; suture impressed ; whorls 4, sides rounded, 

 slightly constricted in front of the sutural tube, which is fine and 

 moderately long ; aperture oblique, circular ; peristome thin, re- 

 flected, the double lips being scarcely perceptible, a slight nick on 

 the inner upper margin. 



" Size : maj. diam. (J-0 ; alt. axis 5-0 mm." 



Two specimens were sent to me, which I have retained, as I 

 presume Mr. Aldrich has other specimens, and they were not marked 

 to be returned.

Or'ujhial description : — " Shell globosely turbinate, solid, closely 

 perforate ; sculpture, smooth on all the upper whorls and polished, 

 close-set ribbing on the swell of the last whorl ; colour dark 

 ochraceous ; spire conical, apex rounded, blunt ; suture impressed ; 

 whorls 4, round, the last swollen, contracted at base of a short 

 sutural tube, then rising into a depressed ridge, thence expanding 

 and spreading to the aperture : aperture circular, subvertical ; 

 peristome double, much thickened, simple, continuous. 



' Size : maj. diam. 2'75 ; alt. axis I'o mm. 



*' Tliis is a very distinct species ; in the solid rounded peristome 

 it approaches A. conicus from Jaintia and A, vestitus from the Arakan 

 Hills." 



Eight specimens were in the collection. Two I have retained 

 for my own collection, the type figured, and the rest have gone to 

 Mr. Aldrich.

On(/iiuil Jescript'wn : — " Shell perforate, globose ; sculpture fine 

 regular ribbing, closely arranged and extending to the peristome ; 

 colour ruddy ochre ; spire subconical ; suture well impressed ; 

 w^horls 4, rounded, a slight constriction in front of the short sutural 

 tube ; aperture suboblique, circular ; peristome double, the outer

" This species is only half the size of its nearest ally, a variety of 

 A. otipho7-us from the wooded slopes of the North Jaintia Hills. 

 This variety was figured and described by me in the J. A. S, B. 1871 

 (p. 93, pi. V, fig. (i). From Mr. Aldrich I have received three 

 specimens of it, all fully grown, and as it is so much smaller than 

 the typical A. otlphorvs from Sikhim (which is as much as 4-25 mm. 

 in maj. diam.), I consider it necessary to give it a distinct title. It 

 is also more depressed and has fewer whorls, and the umbilical area
