MOLLUSCA OP INDIA. 41 



PupiNA TOiXGUPENSis, 11. sp. (Plate LXIX, figs. 5, 5 a, x 8.) 



Locality. Tongoop Pass, Arakan Hills, east side ( W. T. Blanford 

 coll. No. 38). 



Shell globosely couoid, tumid, shiny ; sculpture smooth, no stria- 

 tion ; colour ochraceous ; spire low, sides rounded, apex blunt ; 

 suture very shallow ; whorls 5, ver}' swollen ; aperture circular, a 

 deep cleft on upper angle, bounded by a short rounded lamella on 

 the body-whorl ; peristome not thickened, a narrow cleft on the 

 columellar margin, external canal horizontal, narrow, upper margin 

 moderately wide. 



Size : major diam. 3'5, alt. axis 5-0 mm. 



There are two specimens in Mr. Blan ford's collection. The 

 species differs in its small and globose form from all others I have 

 examined, and the aperture is fully formed. 



PupiNA BLANFORDi, Theobald, from supposed type in B. M. 

 (Plate LXIX. tigs. 2, 2 a, 2 h.) 



Pupina hlanfordi, Theobald, in " Notes on some Indian and Bur- 

 mese Helieidfe," J. A. S. B. 1864, p. 247. 



Conch. Icon., Pupinidse, pi. i. fig. 0, does not represent the supposed 

 type in the B. M. in colour. 



Original description :— " Testa pupinccfonnis, poUtissima, fiave- 

 scenti- cornea. Anfractibus quinqne. Peristonuite albo, iion-e.vpatiso. 

 Canalibus albis. 



" Long. 0, diam. 3'5 mill. 



" Habitat Pegu. 



" This species was forwarded to me by Mr. W. T. Blanford as a 

 possible variety of P. ^je(/)/e»s('.s', B. It is intermediate in its 

 characters and aspect between P. peguensis, B., and P. artata, B., to 

 the latter of which it more closely approaches in the shape and un- 

 reflected form of its peristome. Whilst, in fact, P. blanfordi ranks 

 naturally as a near ally of P. artata, B., P. peguensis, B., holds a 

 similar relation to P. arula, B., and it is questionable if all four 

 species will not prove to be equally connected ; P. peguensis coming 

 between P. artata and P. arula.'' 



This species must be suppressed, the immature worn shell in the 

 B. M. cannot be accepted as the type originally described. 



PuPiNA HPNGEEFORDi, Nevill. (Plate LXIX. figs. 7, 7 a.) 



Pupina hungerfordiana, Nev. Hand-list, p. 300 (1878) ; G. Nevill, 

 J. A. S. B. p. 148 (1881), pi. vi. fig. 6 (a good figure). 



Original description :— " Shell about the same size as P. imhrici- 

 fera, between which and P. artata it is fairly intermediate ; from 

 the former it can be distinguished by the slightly more produced 

 spire and less convex whorls, much less everted last whorl, smaller 

 aperture, even more evenly circular, and in a marked manner by 

 the single instead of double peristome ; the parietal callosity is quite
