ALYC.EUS. 227 



Another variety, collected by F. Ecie at Naniindhiir, Cachar, is 

 ■described on page 391 and illustrated on pi. 149, fig. 4. It is 

 more elevated in the spire, and the aperture is more ovate than in 

 the type, the coluraellar margin descending more obliquely. It 

 measures: major diam. 5, alt. 2'5 mm. 



Yet another form is referred to on page 391. Nineteen 

 specimens were collected by Oodwin-Austen in the Jatinga Valley, 

 North Cachar Hills, which are higher in the spire, with coarser 

 sculpture and smaller umbilicus, while the peristome is devoid of 

 the notches on the outer margin. The same form was obtained 

 by W. Cheniiell in South Sylliet, North Khasi and Garo Hills.
