AUSTENIA ? PANCHETENSIS, n.sp. (Plate XX XVII. figs. 3,34, 36.) 
Locality. Panchet Hill, near Ranigunj, L. Bengal (ex coll. W. Blan- 
ford). 
Shell imperforate, depressedly globose, rather thickened, covered 
with a strong epidermis ; colour dull ochraceous brown; spire de- 
pressed, rounded ; suture shallow; whorls 3, flat above, and rapidly 
increasing, the last descending; aperture very oblique, ovate; peristome 
rather thickened, columellar margin perpendicular. 
Size: major diam. 10-7, minor diam. 9°0, alt. axis 45 mm. 
This shell is very distinct from A. bensoni in the manner in which 
the last whorl descends near the aperture and in its more shelly 
structure and globose form. There is only one specimen in Mr. W. 
Blanford’s collection. It is very probably the No. 16, Helicarion 
ovatus, Nev. Hand-list, p. 14, 8 specimens Rajmahal, Sikrigulli, 
and Patna (coll. Col. G. Mainwaring and Dr. Oldham).
