258 ENID^. 



Hah. India: Tandiani, Hazara, N.W. Frontier (Theobald). 

 Type in the British Museum. 



The shell on which this new species is based occurred with 

 several specimens of E. beddomiana, var. turrita in the Theobald 

 collection. It differs from that form in the more slowly in- 

 creasing whorls, the last being scarcely wider than the penultimate, 

 and in the smaller aperture ; it also differs in its dimensions, the 

 length being a little greater and the diameter somewhat smaller, 

 while the peristome is more expanded but not reflexed. The shell 

 consequently has quite a different facies, and can be readily picked 

 out from among its congeners. 



Tandiani, the spot where the shell was taken in company with 

 E. beddomiana, is the hill station situate in the Hazara hills, near 

 the Afghan frontier, at an elevation of 8500 feet, where the pre- 

 vailing rock appears to be limestone*. 



Figs. 96, a & b, give the front and back view of the shell, while 

 fig. 96 c shows the aperture.

The species had remained unfigured until Dr. Kobelt illustrated 

 it from a specimen in the Mollendorff collection. The shell is 

 strongly irregularly costulate-striate, the striae being cut by coarse 

 incised spirals ; it is dark fuscous in colour, not flammulated.
