BEDDOME : ON GLES8ULA. 167 



All the numerous examples I have seen of this species, except one, 

 are immature and in no way separable from teimispira of the same size. 

 Amongst Benson's five type-specimens there is, however, one which has 

 the lip hardened, and nearly finished off. It is hardly more than 

 a small form of tenuispira.

I have a single specimen of a species allied to this from the Bombay

 two whorls less, and in the penultimate and antepenultimate whorls 

 being larger.
