 usually found. 



" Three palatal plaits, the upper elongate, are always present, 

 and beneath them there is occasionally to be found a rudi- 

 mentary hmella. The characters both of the shell and of the 

 internal plication differ \\idely from those of typical Pho'dusa, in 

 which sub-genus I do not think that the present species can be 

 included. It stands by itself, and I am inclined to look upon it 

 as the type of a peculiar section." {Blanford.)

 numbers in various collections. As mentioned by Blanford, the 

 shells are nearly always decollated. It is rather surprising that 

 in drawing attention to the specimen figured by Hauley & 

 Theobald he failed to notice that the figure in question does not
