272 LAND AND rUESHWATEn 



This species is recorded in my Field-book as No. 1074 o, and 

 was handed to Geoffrey Nevill with a number of other species 

 from the Dafla Hills to be worked out. The four specimens have 

 lately come back through the kindness of Mr. N. Annandale, the 

 present Superintendent of the Calcutta Museum. 



The animal was described as follows : — " Entirely dark slate- 

 colour. Length 1-3 inch ; body long and thin." 



" Shell : major diam. 0-7 inch." 



In one specimen was a dried-up animal, which was put to soak, 

 and after 10 days the mucous gland at end of foot was plainly 

 seen. 



There is a very remarkable resemblance between this species 

 and Staffordia toriqnttuensis and S. staffordi in coloration and 

 general form. Placed side by side the differences are clearly seen, 

 and the presence of a mucous gland, which the genus Stajfordid 

 does not possess, establishes the species. Compare fig. 7 with 

 figs. 2, 3, and 4, Plate CXIII. 



Macbochlamys •? HYALiNoiDEA, n. sp. (Plate CXXVIII. 

 fig. 11.) 



Locality. Tundiani, nr. Abbotabad, Punjab, 8500 ft. {Theobald). 



Shell globosely discoid, perforate ; sculpture, very indistinct 

 longitudinal striation, nearly smooth ; colour pale ochraceous, 

 Avliite around the umbilicus ; spire low, apex and sides rounded ; 

 suture shallow ; whorls 5, increasing regularly ; ajierture rather 

 narrowly lunate ; peristome thickened, with a minute blunt process 

 on the outer upper margin, just within the edge of the peristome ; 

 columellar margin very oblique and straight, not reflected, 

 thickened. 



Size : maj. diam. 7"4, min. 7'0 ; alt. axis 3*0 mm. 



I place this provisionally in Macroddamys, as there is no otiier 

 genus to receive it ; points of shell character denote separation, but 

 until the animal is seen and examined nothing more can be done.

Genus Austenia. 

 {Continued from Vol. II. p. 174.) 



At the top of this ]iage, I said as to Eiiavstenia, Coclcerell, type 

 scutella ("Notes on Slugs," Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. vii. 

 January 1B91), that until Austenia{'!) monticola and other West 

 Himalayan species had been examined, we could not be certain 

 what species should be included in it. 



I have lately (Jnly 1907) received two collections preserved in 

 spirit from Mr. N. Annandale, of the Indian JNIuseum, Calcutta, 

 from Naini Tal and Simla, Mhich contain specimens of several 

 species 1 have long wanted to see, among them two of this genus.
