MOLLUSCA OF INDIA. 297 



I figure the peripheral hairs of P. nevilli (Pate CXXXI. fig. 12) 

 much enlarged, they are finely pointed and rise from, and are au 

 expansion of, the subcostulate rib. In P. ornatula (fig. 9 6) a 

 similar expansion of the rib is rounded oflf, becoming of flange-like 

 semicircular shape. 



PSEUDOKALIELLA OBNATULA, n. Sp. (Plate CXXXI. figS. 9, 



9 a, 9 h.) 



Locality. Maiam Peak, Patkai Eange {M. T. Ogle). 



Shell openly umbilicate, depressedly pyramidal, thin, covered 

 with an epidermis ; sculpture fine, regidar ribbing, some of the 

 ribs expanding on the keel into a small flange, the ribbing is con- 

 tinuous on the basal side but finer; colour dull ochraceous ; spire 

 low, sides flat, apex rather sharp ; suture shallow ; whorls 5^, 

 regularly increasing ; aperture semilunate ; peristome thin"; 

 columellar margin not thickened, oblique. 



Size: maj. diam. about 12*0 ; alt. axis nearly (vO mm. 



Only two specimens of this striking little shell were found, and 

 both are unfortunately imperfect, so the dimensions were taken 

 from the drawing. Other species may be expected to be found 

 in the mountain region north and east of Assam.

Blanford described it as follows : — 



" Shell openly perforate, depressed, sublenticular, pale yellowish 

 tawny, rather thin, subcostulately striated, the striae decussated 

 by spiral (longitudinal) impi'essed lines ; spire low, apex obtuse, 

 suture impressed; whorls 6-6^, convex above, the last bluntly 

 angulate at the periphery, descending near the mouth in adults, 

 moderately tumid beneath ; aperture oblique, almost diagonal, 

 broadly lunate ; peristome white, slightly thickened inside, outer 

 margin broadly sinuate, columellar curved, oblique, briefly reflected 

 above. 



"Major diam. (of fully grown shell from Ataran) 26i, min. 24, 

 height 13 mm. Another specimen measures 24 x 21 x 10 j ; an 

 immature shell from Mergui 27 X 23| x 13.
