MOLLUSCA OF INDIA. PAL 
this species, ‘‘ Khasi, Dafla and Naga Hills” is given as the range 
of this species and as collected by me. I hope soon to see these 
examples, not having found them in my own collection. ‘The 
identification is Geoffrey Nevill’s. I do not think he looked 
sufficiently closely at them. Mr. Gude has simply copied from 
Nevill’s ‘ Hand-list,’ p. 169, ‘30 specimens.’ These I trust are 
not now all mixed together. Jaintia Hills (Beddome) is also 
given on p. 429. These I have seen, they are No. 751 of my 
catalogue (5 examples). They are not crassula, but a small var. 
of crassilabris. 
GLESSULA SUBJERDONI, Beddome, Nevill MS. 
Under this title the species is recorded by Geoffrey Nevill in his 
amended copy of the ‘ Hand-list’ facing page 167. Four specimens 
from the Jeypur Hills, Madras, received from Col. R. H. Beddome. 
Nevill gives the measurement as: long. 9, diam. 3? mm. ; anfr. 7. 
This would be the var. minor of Beddome. 
In the ‘ Fauna British India, Mollusca,’ 1914, p. 484, Mr. Gude 
gives Darjiling as a habitat of this species from specimens he had 
found in the Beddome collection. These are No.'814 of my catalogue 
of that collection: the name subjerdoni had been written by Bed- 
dome in pencil, a sign he had not determined it to his satisfaction ; 
nor had I, when I came across it first in 1912, when under the 
direction of the British Museum authorities 1 commenced working 
at the shells in the Beddome collection and making a catalogue of 
them. In August 1914, when duty in the country prevented my 
going as usual to town, Mr. Gude obtained access to the Beddome 
collection of Gilessula through those who had charge of it—very 
improperly, I consider, when it had been placed in my charge and a 
catalogue was in progress. Thus Mr. Gude was working at this 
collection, quite unknown to me, for a considerable time—some 
three months,—and when seen again by me was in a new state of 
arrangement, as put on record in my catalogue. 
In the interests of the distribution of Indian species it would 
not be fair treatment to overlook such record. I have, therefore, 
gone carefully over all the specimens of subjerdoni in the Beddome 
collection, so as to arrive at some better knowledge of them. I 
have had photographs made of the shells and made myself enlarged 
drawings with camera lucida of the apical whorls of the following 
three specimens, a better means of showing differences than any 
description :— 
No. 812. Bedd. coll. G. subjerdoni, Bedd., Golconda Hills.

No. 809. Bedd. coll. G. subjerdont, Bedd., Teunevelly Valley.

No. 811. Bedd.coll. G. subjerdoni, var.minor. Typical Jeypur 
Hills. (Plate CLXIV. apex fig. 5.)
