Original description : — " CI. testa conoideo-turrita, corueo-

" Long, tota 18, diam.4; long, apert. obliq. 4, ejusdem lat. 

 2*7 mm." {StoUczl-a.) 



Hub. India: Chaugligalli, near Murree, AV. Himalayas, alt. 

 9000 feet ( Waageu, StoUczka) ; 'landiani, Hazara (IVieobald). 



" This is the most westei'ly known species ot" the genus in 

 India. A single, but perfect, specimen was found by Dr. W. 

 Waageu, together with CI. ci/liudrica, under the bush of an old 

 tree at the above mentioned locality. The nearest allied species 

 is 0. ids, but the larger size of the shell, comparative shortness of 

 the two last whorls, larger and more straight aperture readily 

 distinguish this new form." {>StoliczLu.) 



The author in referring to C. ios as the nearest ally of this 

 species, appears to have overlooked O. nionticoJa, described by 

 Blanford in the same paper, a form which has still closer affinity 

 with it. From this it differs in having the upper part of the 

 spire less attenuated and the striae are a little coarser. 



Four specimens, from Tandiaui, in the Theobald collection are 

 somewhat larger than the type, their length being 19"o mm. 

 Having, by kind permission of the authorities at the British 

 Museum, o])ened one of tiiese shells, I am in a position to report 

 on tlie internal armature. The upper parietal fold is interrupted 

 and the inner portion becomes more elevated, gradually decreasing 

 again as it ascends. The subcolumellar fold rises about the 

 beginning of the last whorl close to the columella and becomes a 

 rather broad flexuous fold at once, terminating even more abruptly 

 at a distance of about 0'25 mm. behind the peristome, half-way 

 between the termination of the columellar fold and the lunella. 

 The columellar fold rises a little higher up at tlie connuencement 

 of the last whorl and continues as a fine thread for about half a 

 whorl, when it suddenly increases in height and becomes a flexuous
