The only specimen received was unfortunately crushed before 

 the description was complete. The sutural tube is stated to be 

 exactly like that of IlhapJtaidus blanfordi of Sikhim, i.e. "a 

 narrow flat band running back along the suture with here and 

 there minute perfoi'ations." fortunately the two species had been 

 compared, and the Miri shell was found to be " quite distinct, 

 that the ante})enultimate whorl was the largest and the sculpture 

 very much finer; the deep excavation at the umbilicus was another 

 very remarkable character."
