MOLLUSCA OF INDIA. 21 
tensive and similar range from this island towards India on the 
north-east. The paucity of these genera and species, however, points 
to a very distant and not a very close and continuous connexion.

T next figure, on Plate V., a group of minute shells, of which the 
animal has never been examined, nor have I any notes of my own 
regarding them. The sculpture is similar to species already figured, 
viz. fine transverse ribbing ; they are conoid or globosely conoid in 
form, and rounded or subangular on the periphery, instead of being 
sharply keeled, and the whorls are more convex. Of this subgroup 
Helix nana, Hutton, may be taken as the type. I hesitate, at pre- 
sent, to give the group any distinctive title, and shall bring them in 
under Kaliella, to which, I think, they will be found to be nearest 
related ; and should this prove to be the case, it will be better to 
slightly amend the characters of the above genus as originally de- 
scribed by Mr. W. T. Blanford, than to create a new subgenus. I 
hope to receive specimens in spirit from the N.W. Himalaya of 
nana and bullula, which will clear up the question whether they 
are or are not allied to K. barrakporensis.

“Diam. 0°1. 
‘Animal Heliciform, colour dark grey. Accompanies the two 
last species (fastigiata and bullula), and occurs in the greatest 
abundance.” (B.) 
Range. Simla, Mussoorie (Dr. 7. Oldham and Stoliczka). Dar- 
jeeling (Stoliczka and Col. Mainwaring): I have never seen this 
shell, which may not be the same'species. Moisraka, Midnapur 
district (G. Nevill), and Botanical Gardens, Calcutta (Stoliczka); Port 
Canning (Wood Mason): regarding these three Lower Bengal 
localities, there is, I think, some doubt as to the correct identifica- 
tion of the shells. 
Locality. Mussoorie, N.W. Himalaya (@.-A.): figured. 
Shell very globosely conoid, rounded on the base ; sculpture very
