" Nearly related to the Cochin-Chinese Alycceus glhbus, Fer., but 

 easily to be distinguished by its more pyramidal growth and by the 

 greater length of the spire in proportion to the breadtli of the 

 last whorl, its more symmetrical proportions, sculpture, etc. The 

 origin of the sutural tube is about 4 millimetres Irom the anterior 

 margin of the aperture. This shell was met witii at no other 

 place in the district, and seemed restricted to a spot of a few acres 

 in circumference. The hill is of limestone, steeply scarped and 

 almost inaccessible." [Benson.)
