"Other specimens were found in the Anghauii-Naga Hills. 

 This is very distinct from typical D. urmila in its globose, tumid 

 shape. From the Lhota Naga Hills there are five specimens 

 which come very close to this variety, yet are not quite tlie same, 

 aiid one is verv large, 4-o mm. in major diameter and 6 mm. in 

 height ." (^God IV in- Austen.)

Original description : — " Higher in the spire, aperture pro- 

 portionally lart;er; whorls more rounded, sutural tube only one- 

 iourtli the length, and the ribhing much less fine on the swell of 

 the whorl — differences which by some would be considered quite 

 sullicient to warrant another name being given to this Dafla form. 

 Five specimens were found all possessing the above character, so 

 it would appear to be quite constant." [Godiv in- Austen.)

 well impressed; the tube moderately long; whorls 4, the last 

 very tumid; aperture circular; peristome moderately thickened :

 marginal whorls. 



" This variety may be kuo\^n by a more globose shape and a 

 more dnpressed spire than in the type species. 



" The specimens from ilarangsip Peak are most richly coloured 

 in tints of pink and ochre." (Godivin- Austen.)
