" P. Jiimalai/ana, liuttoii, an elongate and strongly sculptured 

 shell, is tlie only edentate species previously described from tlie 

 Himalayan Eegion." (Benson.) 



I have not seen this species. The shell figured m Conch, ind. 

 does not look as if mature, and the tact that liensou in his 

 diagnosis describes the right margin of the peristome as " straight, 

 acute," makes it appear that tlie same remark applies tothe type. 

 It does not seem to have much affinity with Sjfhi/radium hinia- 

 lai/anum (ante p. 41).

The name FajM indica, proposed by Pfeifter in 1854, is not 

 available for the present species having already been employed by 

 Benson in 1849, and I have therefore been obliged to substitute a 



new one. 



The McAndrew collection at Cambridge contams several 

 specimens labelled hrevicostis, but which I refer without hesitation
