GLESSULA. 435 



ultiinus 5 lougitudiuis vix fequans, basi parum attenuatus ; 

 columella parum obliqua, paulo supra basin apertura truncata ; 

 apertura verticalis, semi-ovalis ; peristoma intus albidum, obtusum. 



"Long. 11, diam. 2 mm.: apertura 2-5 mm. longa, 1"0 lata." 

 (Beddome.) 



H(d>. India : Nilgiri Hills, Jeypore, and Shevroy Hills ; 

 Travaucore (Beddome). 



"The Jeypore specimens are slightly larger, the whorls rather 

 more convex, and slightly angular close to the sutures." 

 (Beddoine.) 



The type in the British ]Museum has the upper margin of the 

 peristome slightly damaged and the outer margin descends nearly 

 straight, a fact not mentioned in tlie diagnosis ; and whereas its 

 length is given as 11 mm., it only measures 9-5 mm. A specimen, 

 from the Shevroy Hills, in the Beddome collection possesses nine 

 whorls, which are a trifle less convex than in the type ; it measures 

 11 mm. in length. The same collection also contains specimens 

 from the Shevroy Hills, which were unnamed.

Shell elongate-conoid, translucent, rather thin, fuscous corneous, 

 glossy, finely and regularly striated. Spire narrow, scarcely con- 

 vex ; suture rather deep, subcrenulate ; apex obtuse. Whorls 7, 

 convex, increasing slowly and regularly, the last equalling in 

 width 'i of the entire length of the shell, ascending a little in

front. Aperture nearly vertical, broadly obovate, the margins 

 united by a thin callus on the parietal wall. Peristome thickened, 

 outer and basal margins curved ; columella slightly arcuate, 

 obliquely truncate.

Ilab. India : Auamullays {Beddome). Type in the British 

 Museum. 



Seven specimens of an undetermined species were found in the 

 Beddome collection. Its nearest ally appears to be G. gracilis, 

 but that species has a narrower base, is much more strongly 

 striated, the whorls are less convex, the last whorl is narrower,
