Benson further adds : — " Varieties B, C, and D are in tlie 

 Silhet collection. The type specimens of several of these varieties 

 would, if viewed apart, be easily mistaken for distinct species, but 

 the}'^ melt into each other so gradually, occasionally showing the 

 characters of more than one variety combined in the same shell, 

 that no doubt remains of their blending in one species. In 

 Tolly's Nullah I took larger specimens than any in the collection 

 [Museum of the Asiatic Society] ; though at least four twists of 

 the spire were defective, one individual measured 3*4 inches in 

 length. The Giimti specimens are less liable to truncation, and 

 in young specimens the apices are nearly perfect. I have not 

 observed more than 12 whorls present in any specimen. I de- 

 scribed the type of the species without a name as species A in the 

 I'ith no. of the ' Gleanings in Science.' It was figured as no. 7 

 in plate vii. vol. i."
