“ Hab, ‘ Penang Hill’ in foliis Coffee arabic, specimen unicum. 
«The animal of this species is exactly like that of S. infula, figured 
in plate xviii. in J. A. S. B. vol. xl. (1871); it has a generally pale 
brownish-grey colour ; but having obtained a single specimen, I did 
not like to sacrifice the shell, in order to notice the internal struc- 
ture ; for when examining these little species, one is by no means 
sure that he will obtain from a single specimen an insight into the 
whole anatomy. 
“The present species is closely allied to the Nilghiri 1, tricarinata, 
BIf., which is also a Sitala, and differs by a more depressed and 
broadly conical shape, and by having a much wider umbilicus.”

“© Hab. ad montem Nundydroog in regione Mysoriana. 
‘Two imperfect specimens were found by my son, Captain C. A. 
Benson, on the Fort Hill of Nundydroog, north of Bangalore, in 
Mysore, and a single specimen (fully grown, but weathered) by my 
daughter, Mrs. R. H. Sankey, at the same place, about 4000 feet 
above the level of the sea. It is very distinct from the various 
lirate species described by the Messrs. Blanford in the Journ. Asiat. 
Soe. Beng. for 1861, from the hill-ranges of Southern India.”
