 from Ousalava, Ceylon, presented b)"^ Mr. Preston. These un- 

 doubtedly pertain to the present species.

 p. 170, pi. 15, Hg. 2 ; Pilsbry, Man. Conch, ser. 2, xx, 1909, p. 83, 

 pi. 8, figs. 3, 4. 



Original description : — " Testa oblongo-turrita, tenuis, leviter 

 striatula, nitida, subpellucida, fulvo-cornea ; spira subturrita, 

 ad apicem obtusiuscula ; sutura impressa ; anfi'actus 7-8, sub- 

 planiusculi, nltimus 4 loDgitudinis vix aequans, basi attenuatus ; 

 columella leviter arcuata, paulo supra basin aperturse truncata ; 

 apertura verticalis, semi-ovalis ; peristoma simplex, obtusiusculum. 



''Long. 11, diam. 3*5 mm.; apertura 2'5 mm. longa, 2 lata."

Hah. India : Jeypore aud Golcondah Hills, east side of 

 Madras Presidency ; Anamullays ; Tiunevelly, 8ikkim, Darjeeliug 

 (Beddome). 



" A smaller and more slender shell than jerdoni, and much 

 larger than paupercula, of which it may be a large form." 

 {BedAome.) 



" A specimen evidently near subjerdoni, but purchased as 

 G. jerdoni, and said to be from the Nilgiris, is figured pi. 12, 

 fig. 16. Below the suture there are vertical grooves, strong aud 

 regular on the shoulder, but rapidly weakeniug downwards. The 

 lip is rather thick and whitish-edged. It is a wider shell than 

 C. 2i- tdj^^obanens is, which, seems to be closely related. Length 9"2, 

 diam. 3'9, apertui*e 3*25 mm. ; whorls 7."' {Pilsbrij.) 



Several shells from the Golcondah Hills, in the Beddome col- 

 lection, do not exceed 10*5 mm. in length, althoutih the diameter 

 measures 4 mm., but some specimens from Darjeeliug measure 

 ll"5x4 mm. The same collection contains shells from Tinne- 

 velly, having seven whorls and measuring 8"25 mm. in length, 

 and several from Jeypore, labelled var. minor, 8"o mm. in length. 

 Pinally I found specimens from the Anamullays, which were 

 labelled pnupercula, but which certainly must be referred to 

 6r. subjerdoni.
