4 LAND AND FRESHWATER 
Hl, barrakporensis near Calcutta is more than doubtful. There is a 
country-house called ‘ Titalya,’ near Barrackpore, which may have 
given rise to an error in the statement of the locality of the species.” 
It will be seen, however, below that both Nevill and Stoliczka 
have taken it in or near Calcutta. 
Mr. Theobald (1. ¢. p. 142) records a single specimen of this species 
from Kashmir, 6 mm. in height. This must be either an error in 
measurement or it is another species, for I have never seen among 
hundreds of specimens any approaching this size. 
Nevill gives (/.c. p. 41) the following localities :—1. Parasnath 
(Stol); 2. Pegu (Stol); 3. Prome (W. v. B.); 4. Thyat Myo (Dr. 
Hunger, ford); 5. Teria Ghat (G.-A.); 6. Khandala (Stol); 7. Cal- 
cutta (Nevill & Stol). It would be ee to see those from 
No. 6; those from Burmeh are very possibly A. vulcani, described 
further on. 
KALIELLA CHERRAENSIS, n. sp. (Plate I. figs. 5, 5a.) 
Locality. Cherra Poonjee, Khasi Hills (G.-A.). 
Shell elongately pyramidal, scarcely perforate ; sculpture very fine, 
regular transverse ribbing, with very fine, regular, close-set spiral 
ribbing on the base, 12 lines =:005 inch (fig. 5a); colour dull 
brown; spire high, sides convex; suture shallow; whorls 6, sides 
flatly convex, a distinct sulcation on the keel of the last; aperture 
semilunate ; peristome thin. 
Size: major diam. 0:10 inch, alt. axis 0-09 inch. 
.. 2°5 mm., . 2-3 mm. 
Garo Hills, one specimen. Very smooth, but under lens has micro- 
scopic transverse ribbing. 
The largest are from Teria Ghat. Height of spire equal to diameter 
of base; major diameter 3:0 mm.; colour ochraceous; whorls 7 ; 
ribbing very distinct (Plate I. fig. 7 and Plate II. fig. 2). 
I have three specimens, from the Dikrang valley, Dafla Hills, 
from the North Cachar Hills, and Laisen in the Naga Hills. 
KALIELLA CHERRAENSIS, n. var. (Plate I. fig. 6.) 
Locality. Forty miles above Barisal, on the river Megna, Lower 
Bengal (G.-A.). 
Sculpture very fine, regular, rather distant costulation, with very 
fine, close-set spiral striation on base, while in many specimens 
quite smooth ; colour pale ochraceous brown; spire, vide description 
of the Khasi shell. 
Size: major diam. 0°15 inch, alt. axis 0-11 inch. 
Be 2-7 mm, 7 2-8 mm. 
This shell is almost identical with the Khasi- Hill species, being, 
perhaps, rather more convex on the side of the spire, a character 
which distinguishes all the forms of Kaliella from those hills from 
the much more flatter-sided barrakporensis of the N.W. Himalaya 
&e. The waters of the Barak in Sylhet drain into the Megna, and 
this species must be constantly washed down by them.
