Hah. India : Rolira Hills, Sine! {Bkinford). Beluchistan : 

 Gwadar (SZan/ojvZ). Persia: Bendes Abbas (/sseZ). Arabia: Aden 

 {Blaiif'ord). 



When described and figured by Reeve the habitat was unknown. 

 It is more cylindrical than Z. insularis, forming a connecting link 

 between that and Z. perticn. The type, which is in the British 

 Museum, is composed of 94 whorls and measures : length 12 mm., 

 diameter 4 nun.

 imperforata, pellucida, albida, tenuiter striata, apiee conico, obtusi- 

 usculo, pellucido ; anfractibus novem vel decern vix elevatis ; 

 apertura parva, subrotunda, semilunata ; labiis siibincrassatis 

 rotundatis.

 ford) ; Delhi, Bnndelkliund {Reeve) ; Kutch, Agra, Trichinopoli 

 {B.M.). 



Gray, who omitted to indicate the habitat when describing the 

 species, states that it resembles B. kincjU, but is more solid and has 

 a dai'k apex and pillar. His brief description may be supplemented 

 by Hutton's observations on the species in 1849, when he sub- 

 stituted the MS. name Pupa indica of Benson for P. cylindrica 

 proposed by himself in 1834, on account of the latter name having 

 previously been employed by Michaud. 



" The large variety has 9-10 whorls ; is cylindriform and tapers 

 suddenly to an obtuse apex ; colour of Uving shells pale fuscous or 

 earthy, but generally white ; whorls closely wrinkled by coarse 

 waving lines of increase ; in fresh specimens faintly scored with
