‘¢ Distinguished from the larger Khasia species, A. crassilubris, Be 
by its peculiar sculpture, and by the formation of the whorls below 
the suture.” 
The specimen figured is from Hy. Blanford’s collection No. 17, 
9111.15, and measures 11°25 x 5 mm. There are two other 
examples, andin another box (No, 248, 06.2.2 B.M.) are four others 
all alike and from Darjiling. 
Mr. Gude, in ‘Fauna British India, Mollusca,’ ii. 1914, says : 
“Some specimens in the Beddome collection from the Naga Hills, 
composed of 63 whorls, measure 8 x 3°5mm., and refers to another 
shell also from the same locality, possessing only six whorls, with 
rather conxex sides, measuring 6°5 x 3mm.” I have now seen 
these (No. 768 of my catalogue of the shells selected out of the 
Beddome collection). They are Glessula prowiensis, mihi, and very 
different in every way. ‘The apex of one is given on Plate CLXILI.

GLESSULA oRroBIA, Bs., var, Mason. (Plate CLXII. fig. 7.) 
Richila Peak, Sikhim. Type. (No. 556 BM.) 
Damsang, Sikhim. (No. 3336.) 
This is a much larger shell, yet has all the characters of the 
Darjiling examples in its general form and increase of the whorls. 
It is, however, a dark umber-brown, and in this respect is like 
crassula from the same peak, which is a much smaller shell. 
Var. major measures ; maj. diam. 5°2 ; length 13-0 mm.

The generative organs were seen complete and proved of great 
interest. The appendage given off near the junction of the vas 
deferens at head of the penis is small and hand-shaped ; it consists
