Hah. India: Samana Tsuk (6740 feet), near Upper Kuram 

 Valley, N.W. Frontier Prov. {Dr. T. G. Longstaff.) Type in 

 the British Museum. 



This new species is allied to E. grlffithi, Eeeve, from Atghamstan 

 I was, in fact, at first inclined to regard it merely as a variety ot 

 that species. Although possessing one whorl more, it is con- 

 siderably shorter than qnfflthi, which measures 40 mm. m length, 

 it is less slender in the spire, the last whorl is relatively smaller, 

 and the aperture is much less expanded, especially towards the

base E. lomistaffi also bears traces of affinity to eremita, Reeve, 

 and E. domina, Benson, but may readily be distinguished from 

 either by its less conoid, more attenuated spire. From E. can- 

 delans, PfeifPer, another aUied form, it differs m the greater 

 relative length of the last whorl, the conoid spire, the widened 

 aperture, and the more developed peristome. 



Dr Longstaff, who collected the shell in 1906, presented tve 

 specimens, which range in size from 31x12 ram. (type) to 

 26 X 11-75 mm. . 



The illustrations represent the type in the British Museum.
