Hah. India : Peak of Khiinho, Eastern Ijiirrnil Kange ; Japvo, 

 7000 ft. 



" This species is an extremely elongate solid form of the 

 crassilahris section of Glessnla, and one of the most distinct." 

 (^Gochvin-Aitsten.) 



Erom cJiessoni it differs apparently in ha\'ing a more obtuse 

 apex, while from huegeli it may be distinguislied by the more 

 flattened \Ahorls and the concave npper part of the spire. I have 

 not seen any specimens.

Original description : — "Testa OA'ato-tnrrita, superne attenuata, 

 scabre plicato-striata, striis minutissimis confertis obsoletis spirali- 

 bus decussata, fulvo-cornea, vel purpureo-fusca, transluceute, 

 nitidnla ; spira turrita, apicem versus obtusiusculum attenuata, 

 sutura impressa, crenulata ; anfractibus 11 1 convexiusculis, ultimo 

 ^ testae superante intlatiusculo ; apertura subverticali, semiovali, 

 latiuscula, cokimella subrecta, albido-callosa, basi vix oblique 

 truucata, peristomate recto, tenui." (Benson.) 



Long. 37, diam. 15 mill. ; apert. 14 mill, longa, 8 lata. 



Hah. India: Mahablesliwar Hills (C7<e*son, j^7;go?>«Z(/) ; Igatpuri 

 (Stoliczl-a) ; Torna and Purandhar (Blanford, Fairhanl-) ; North 

 Canara forests and Sircee (Beddome). 



This species is allied to G. huegeli but the spire has a more 

 acuminate apex with concave sides and a broader base ; it is also 

 thinner in texture and the suture is more crenulate.
