Original description : — " This is a very interesting species, 

 resembling somewhat, in shape of the whorls and aperture, 

 B. smithei, ' Conchologia Indica,' pi. xx, fig. 3, but it is still 

 nearer B. eremita, Bens., I. c. fig. 8, from which its produced 

 spire, narrower whorls, and nperture easily distinguish it. 

 Narrowly rimate, subcylindricall}^ turreted, of solid, scarcely 

 polished substance ; closely, obliquely striate, strise more regular 

 and crowded together than in the two preceding forms [stolicz- 

 Tcamis and maimvaringianus] ; of a very pale horn-colour, only

here and there discernible, on account of the crowded stride, 

 which are of a chalk-white colour ; spire much produced, apex 

 obtuse ; whorls 10, increasing very gradually and regularly, last 

 whorl compressed; aperture very small, peristome white, outer 

 margin broadly reflected, vezw slightly arcuate (much as in pi. xx, 

 tig. 3, 1, c); columella dilated, obliquely rounded at base. 



"Long. 13f, diam. 4f (last whorl to base of aperture, 5); 

 apert. alt. 3^, lat. 2| mm." (Nevill) 



Hah. India : Murree, Punjab {Nevill) ; Taudiaui, llazara 

 (Theobald) ; Campbellpur (Terhurg). 



Three varieties are indicated by Theobald as occurring at Tan- 

 diani, the hill station of Hazara, the most northern portion of the 

 Punjab and bordering on Kashmir, where he says the species is 

 rather common. The varieties he mentions are : var. typica, 

 10 whorls, long. 12'4, lat. 2-6 mill.; var. turrita, 11 whorls,' 

 long. 12-4, lat. 3 mill.; var. pusilla, 9 whorls, long. 8-5, lat.
