Shell obtectly perforate, globosely conoid, smooth, under the 

 microscope finely obliquely ribbed above, and with radiating lines 

 on base, pale horny brown ; spire conoid, sides convex, apex 

 obtuse, suture w-ell impressed ; whorls 5^^, convex, closely wound, 

 the last rounded at periphery and below ; aperture nearly vertical, 

 lunate ; peristome simple, coliimellar margin oblique, reflected, 

 concealing perforation, 



Diam. 2-3, height 2 mm. 



Bab. jS^.W. Himalayas ; Simla, Kulu, Mussoorie ; Darjiling. 

 Nevill adds Moisraka, Midnapur district, Calcutta (Botanical 

 Gardens), and Pt. Canning: [very doubtful if it is the same 

 species]. 



Hutton notes that this form is common at Simla and that the 

 colour of the animal is dark grey. Of the animal found in 

 Calcutta, Stoliczka notes (quoted by Nevill) that it has a small 

 gland with a short horn above and no mantle-lobes. 



The process on the columellar lip of the peristome which covers 

 the perforation resembles that of Microcystina. It is best seen in 

 very old shells.

 (shell). 



Shell subperforate, turbinate, globosely conoid, smooth, under 

 the microscope seen to be ornamented by fine oblique ribbing 

 above and indistinct subobsolete concentric striae on base, pale 

 horny; spire conoid, apex obtuse, suture impressed; whorls 5, 

 convex, the last subangulate at periphery, descending slightly in 

 front, convex beneath ; aperture subvertical, broadly lunate ; 

 columellar margin oblique, slightly reflected. 



Diam. 4, height 3 mm.

The type was obtained amongst dead leaves at Simla. The 

 shell described by Pfeiffer as this species (Mon. Hel. iv, p. 86) 

 was not bullula but nana. 



42-5. Kaliella? resinula, Godwin-Austen, Mol. Ind. i, 1882, p. 22, pi. o, 

 lige. 7, 8 (shell). 



Shell obtectly perforate, globosely conoid, very finely and closely 

 transversely costulately striated, the sculpture microscopical and 

 often obsolete, pale brownish horny ; spire conoid, rather high.
