Genus Kaliella. 

 {Continued from Vol. I. p. 73, 18S3.) 



Kaiiella henzabaensis, n. sp. (Plate CLVIII. fig. 11.) 



Locnllfi/. Kyoiing Gyoung, Henzada, Pegu. Blf. Coll. No. 1017, 

 06.1.1 P.M. 



Shell pyramidal, fiuely perforate ; sculpture regular, transverse 

 striation, the same concentiic on the basal side ; colour ochraceous ; 

 spire high, sides flatly convex ; suture shallow ; whoi'ls 6, sides 

 slightly convex ; aperture broadly lunate; peristome rather solid, 

 subvertical on the columellar margin. 



Size: maj. diam. 2*3; alt. axis 2-9 mm. 



This shell might pass for K. harraclcpurensis, and the sculpture is 

 somewhat similar, not quite so. It is higher in the spire than the 

 typical species, and not so broad at the base. The aperture is very 

 large for its size, and the columella is strong and nearly vertical. 



The single specimen was found in a pill-box containing unnamed 

 small Helicoids and Diplomnuitiaa in the Planford Collection. It 

 does not agree in form with K. vulcuni, U.-A., figured Plate I. 

 fig. 13 of this work. 



Kaliella tholus, n. sp. (Plate CLVIII. fig. 10.) 



Localtfif. Ootacamund. No. 963, 12.iv.l6. Peddome Coll., P.M. 

 {Colonel li. H. Beddome). 



Shell subperforate, roundly conical, flat on base ; sculpture 

 irregular, fine distant and transverse plication, with very micro- 

 scopic longitudinal striation, especially seen near the suture ; colour 

 pale ochraceous ; spire pyramidal, apex blunt; suture hair-like, of 

 no depth ; whorls 8, sides convex ; aperture narrow, semilunate ; 

 peristome thin ; columellar margin oblique and well reflected. 



Size: maj. diam. 4"5 ; alt. axis 31 mm. 



Two specimens of this Kuliella occurred in an unsorted box of 

 several sj)ecies, with a label marked " Ooty" in it. It diff'ers con- 

 siderably from K. sigurensis, described and figured by me (Moll. 

 Ind. p. 5, pi. i. fig. 11), in the narrow aperture and much larger 

 size, but assimilates in proitortion of its breadth to the height of 

 axis, which is rather greater in the species now described. 



Kaliella? minuxissima, n. sp. (Plate CLVIII. fig. 7.) 



LoculUy. Avalanche, Nilgiri Hills; in roots of plants, three speci- 

 mens ( IF, T. Blanford). Plf. Coll. No. 306.06.1.1. P.M. 



Shell globosely conoid, rounded below ; sculpture microscopic, 

 close transverse ribbing, crossed with spiral striae, which latter is 

 strong on base ; colour dull ochraceous ; spire conoid, sides flatly- 

 convex, apex blunt ; suture impressed.; whorls 5, regularly in- 

 creasing, the last tumid ; aperture semilunate : peristome thin, 

 sharp ; columellar margin strong, broad, subvertical. 



Size : maj. diam. 2-1 ; alt. axis 1*4 mm. 



Although very globose in form as compared with the usual 

 pyramidal species of Kaliella, the sculpture is quite typical of that 

 genus, and into which I have put it provisionally.
