 wliorls, smooth below, finely ribbed on swollen part of the whorl, 

 still more finely on the constricted portion ; spire subconoid ;

 swelling again towards the peristome, which is longitudinally 

 undubited ; sutin-al tube moderate; aperture oblique, waved;

'•This species is very close to A. crispatus, G.-A., from the 

 Khasi and Jaintia Hills, ... . but is a much more closely 

 wound shell — a character which, when a large series of the two 

 were placed side by side, was found to be constant ; and this, 

 with the absence of the ridge on the constriction, marks it as 

 ■distinct." {Godwin- Austen.)
