KALIELLA. 259 



i/rt6. Himalayas, Bengal, Deccan, S. India, Burma?, Ceylon, 

 Madagascar. Localities recorded are: Kashmir (Theobald); Mus- 

 soorie, 7000 feet (God win- Austen) ; Doon below Landour (Uutton) ; 

 Sikhim, Pankabari, and Rangnu valley ( W. T. Blanford), and 

 Titalya (Bacon) ; Pareslinath Hill and Patarghatta (Stoliczha) ; 

 Barrackpore (Bacon) ; near Calcutta (StoUczka, Nevill) ; Khandalla 

 near Bombay (IF. T. B.); Madras (liamanan); Kalryenmullay 

 Hills near Salem (Poote) ; Pedro Talle Galle, Ceylon (?) ; Barisal, 

 Bengal (Godwin- Austen). Nevill also quotes shells from Teria 

 Ghat, Thayet Myo, Prome, and Pegu, but these may belong to 

 other nominal forms. Several specimens have, however, been 

 obtained from Madagascar ; and, from this locality, they cannot 

 have been introduced by man. The occuri'ence of this shell in 

 Lower Bengal has been doubted, but both Stoliczka and Nevill 

 found it near Calcutta. Shells from Bhore Ghat (Khandalla) are 

 intermediate betu'een K. harrakporensis and K. sigurensis. 



Animal of a pale colour, with a distinct gland at the extremity 

 of the foot, overhung by a well-defined lobe. Mantle-lobes not 

 observed. Parts of the genitalia are figured in the ' Land and 

 Freshwater Mollusca of India,' showing the small pear-shaped 

 kale-sac [see also fig. 81, A, p. 242, supnX]. [The teeth of the radula 

 are peculiar — from the small number of broad plated admediau 

 teeth in the row, all tricuspid, the outer cusps both basal, the 

 central point long; the laterals are narrow, much curved, and also 

 tricuspid; the outermost minute and tricuspid, — with this formula ; 



26 . 7 . 1 . 7 . 26 (33 . 1 . 33).] 



399. Kaliella sigurensis, Godivin-Austen, Mol. Ind. i, 1882, p. .5, 

 pi. 1, iig. 11 (shell). 



This only differs from K. harrahporensis in having distinctly 

 oblique radiating strise on the base and not concentric microscopical 

 impressed lines. In all probability the two pass into each other, 

 an intermediate form having already been noted from Khandalla 

 near Bombay. 



Hah. Sigur Ghat and Neddiwatam Ghat, Nilgiri Hills. 



[400. Kaliella rissomensis, Godwin-Austen, Mol hid. ii, 1907, p. 174, 

 pi. 103, fig. 9 (shell). 



Localitij. Eissom Peak, Richila Peak, and Damsang Peak, Daling 

 District. 



Original description : — This shell is like A', sivalensis in general 

 form, but placed alongside of it under the microscope difference is 

 apparent in proportion of diameter to height of spire and form cf 

 columellar margin. The sculpture is also coarser. 



Size: maj. diam. 3-5, alt. axis 2-6 mm.]
