 figured, AAhich I received from tlie late Miss Linter, was labelled 

 with the habitat, " Moulraain." It measures: major diam. 16, 

 minor 13 mm, ; alt. 6 mm. Another shell from the same source 

 measures 12-25, 10-5, and 5 mm. respectively.

that species in being of a unicolorous dark brown, in the peri- 

 stome being livid instead of white, and in the shell being thinner

 (enlarged). Tigs. 68 a-c show the entire shell (natural size). 



Tour specimens from the Attaran Valley, in the Theobald 

 collection, British Museum, agree with Mr. Ponsonby's shell, 

 except in size, measuring 16 mm. in diameter.
