MOLLUSCA OF INDIA. By 
(The sole of the foot very closely segmented.) I have been successful 
in getting out the genitalia, but in a detached state. Thespecimen 
contained 8 well-formed eggs in the oviduct ; they measure 1-5 mm. 
in diameter, perfect globes. The penis (Plate CLXV. fig. 6) 
has an elongate simple sheath, with a very small flagellum, close 
to the vas deferens attachment at the distal end. The spermatheca 
(fig. 6a) was elongate with a bulbous end ; the penis is thus simiiar 
to that of G. longispira of Sikhim, and it may ultimately be found 
that all the elongate turreted Glessule will have this type of male 
organ distinguishing them from that of G. ochracea, &e. The 
formula of the radula is: 
DO wie Wii eeO Once? 2.1. 27. 
The centre tooth has a long narrow plate with a small cusp at the 
base ; the admedian are of the same shape as in G. longispira ; the 
marginals are very numerous, becoming very minute on the outer 
edge. There are no intermediate teeth ; the admedian merge into 
the marginals. 
GLEssULA SUBHASTULA, n. sp. (Plate CLXI. fig. 18; Plate 
CLXIIL. fig. 15, apex.) 
Locality. Nongsingriang, North Khasi Hills; No. 3551 B.M. 
Type (Godwin-Austen). 
Shell elongately,conoid ; sculpture irregular, fine close, very well- 
defined transverse striation (not so regular as in G. hastula); 
colour dark ochraceous ; spire long attenuate (less so than hastula), 
apex fine (larger than in hastula); suture impressed; whorls 74, 
sides flatly convex; aperture very narrow, vertical; peristome 
thin; columellar margin nearly straight. 
Size: Type. Maj. diam. 3°25; length 9:0 mm. apex.

I first found this species (No. 3549 B.M., enlarged apex, 
Pl. CLXIII. fig. 14), which I then took to be hastula of Benson, in 
the deep valley to the east of Cherra Poonjee the first summer I 
passed there. Two specimens were returned to me by Mr. Sylvanus 
Hanley, in whose hands I placed a number of species of Glessula 
when he was working on the ‘ Conchologia Indica’——this No. 3546’ 
(Pl. CLXI. fig. 19) was returned to me with a note in pencil 
*¢ allied to subjusifornmis, W. Blf.” A single specimen of subhastula 
was also found in the Dunsiri Valley below Samaguting. 
I have received a specimen from Mr. 8. W. Kemp found at Tura, 
Garo Hills. 
GLessuLa suBHASTULA, G.-A., var. type (Plate CLXI. fig. 19.) 
Locality. North Khasi; No. 3546 (Godwin-Austen), 
Shell elongately conoid ; sculpture regular, quite strong striation ; 
colour rich umber-brown; spire long, sides flattened, apex blunt 
rounded ; suture impressed; whorls 74, sides flattened; aperture 
rather narrow; peristome slightly thickened; columellar margin 
nearly vertical, not truncated.
