 minor 5-6^, width of aperture inside 3-3g mm. 



"Length of the aperture and outer peristome in the larger 

 specimen from the base of the canal to the end of the projection 

 above 6:5 mill."

" At first sight, this shell bears a most striking resemblance to 

 C. toriuosns, Chemn., but the last wliori is much less produced, 

 and there appear, judging from the description and figures of 

 Chemnitz's species, to be several slight but not unimportant 

 distinctions in sculpture and form. Amongst the Ceylonese 

 species, the nearest approacli to the present is made by C. decorits, 

 Bens., and C. hlanfordi, Uohrn, but no Ceylonese kind is known 

 with the last whorl free. The previously described Cataulus from 

 the base of the Auamullay Hills resembles C. calcadensis in the 

 sinistral position of the keel, a character not noticed by Pfeiffer 

 in his desci'iption." {Blanford.) 



In 1880 (loc. cit.) Blanford recorded the receipt of fresh living 

 specimens from Col. Beddome of a golden-brown colour, with the 

 aperture of the same tint as the shell. The peristome in these 

 specimens was not free from the last whorl : the operculum was 

 found to be normal and precisely similar to that of Ceylonese 

 species of the genus. 



At the same time Blanford stated that he was satisfied that the 

 specimens described by Theobald as Hapalus travatikoricus were 

 immature shells, and he believed them to be the young of 

 C. calcadensis or some neai'ly allied species.

" A species belonging to the same group as the last [C. nevilli], 

 but it is narrower, the \\horls are flatter, the striae almost obsolete, 

 the base of the lip projects a little forward, and the notch lies a 

 shade more to the right."' {Sykes.)
