Original description : — " Sliell pyi^auiidally turreted, whorls 

 ten in number, convex, very finely crenulated at the sutures, then 

 striated, columella rather deeply arched, aperture small ; brown- 

 horny." {Reeve.) 



Hah. India : Nilgiris {Jerdoii). 



" The shell I take to be this species is the one described by 

 Nevill. I collected it both on the Nilgiris and NullamuUays 

 (Kuriiool). It is of the same length and has the same number of 

 whorls as sliiplayi., and is very like the full-grown shell of that 

 species, only it has a more prominent striation, and is considerably 

 broader towards the base. The young shell is conical from a broad 

 base, the young of ship>lc(yi being much more cylindrical. If 

 lieeve's figure, copied by jN'evill, is tin's species, it must be a small 

 form of it. It is more probably perrotieti.'" {Beddome.)
