in size, i.¢., increasing very gradually; aperture narrowly oval; 
columellar margin very slightly convex. 
Size: maj. diam. 4°0; alt. axis 11-20 mm. 
This is more elongate than G. crassula, but similar in coloration 
and sculpture. It is certainly more than a variety of the Darjiling 
shell. 
In Wm. Blanford’s collection is a single specimen, which I refer 
to this species, found by him on the Chola range at 11,000 ft.

Shell conically turreted and elongate, solid, smooth, and shining: 
sculpture: very regular sharp striation; colour dark rich ochre, 
a paler margin to the peristome; spire high, sides slightly convex, 
apex blunt; suture impressed; whorls 74, flatly convex, the 
last tumid; aperture oval; Bemskome well thickened; columellar 
margin str ong, curved, notch at base siege: 
Size: maj. diam. 9- D5 ; length 21-25 mm. 
Animal (Plate CLXV. fig. 2a). With short foot, the sole of 
which has a central groove each side closely segmented. 
The buccal mass ‘(Plate CLXY. fig. 28) is globose and small 
with a very strong retractor muscle = the salivary gland is in a 
single bilobed mass, one side long and pointed. 
In the generative organs (Plate CLXYV. fig. 2c) the hermaphro- 
dite duct is conspicuous by its size, is very long and strongly and 
closely convoluted. The albumen gland is very globose. The 
uterus and closely convoluted oviduet short. The penis is a folded 
sheath, and what I take to represent the flagellum is a flattened 
mass, Straight on one side, having a serrate edge on the other, 
consisting of a short terminal and ten longer notches, very cha- 
racteristic and unusual in form. <A similar flagellum is met with 
in orophila, Bs., as figured by Professor Semper (Reis. Archipel. 
1873, p. 183, Taf. xii. figs. 14-16, under Cironella) there is one 
terminal and 380 notches, giving it a feather-like form. The vas 
deferens joins the penis close to this at the distal end. 
The spermatheca is oblong, rather short, on a short thick 
base.
