Original descrijition : — " Testii turrif a, cornea, tenuis, parum 

 nitida, verticaliter confertitn plicato striata : striis siib-lente 

 minute et reguiariter granulatis, interstitiis lineis luinutis con- 

 fertis transversis (spiralibus) in anfractibus superis validioribus, 

 decussatis ; spira elongate conica ; apice obtuso ; sutura profunda. 

 Anfr. 7| convexi, ultimus \ longitudinis sub-tequans. Apertura 

 obliqua fere ovata ; peristoma tenue, rectum; columella valde 

 arcuata, antice oblique truucata.

" No described Indian species of Glessula possesses sculpture at 

 all resembling that of the present small form. Lender an ordi- 

 nary lens the shell appears to have a plicate striation, but beneath 

 a stronger i)ower the stri;e are seen to be regularly nodose, and 

 the decussating lines become distinctly visible. The markings 

 are very elegant and regular, almost resembling those on some 

 West Indian forms of Cydostomidce, as OhoanopomaJ' {Blanford.) 



The form taken by Evezard at Poorundhur, in the Bombay 

 Presidency, is separated by Blanford as " var. major, long. 7 mill." 



Tlie Beddome collection contains several specimens from .Sin- 

 ghur Hill. These are rufous corneous and exhibit the decussating 

 spirals referred to by Blanford, which are excessively fine and 

 close, being especially noticeable in fresh shells. The Cuming 

 collection also contains four specimens.
