45. Glessula Jeedoni (Benson), (Reeve). 

 Achatina Jerdoni, Benson MSS. : Reeve, Conch. Icon., vol. v, pi. xxi, 

 fig. 80 ; Pfeiffer, Mon. Hel., vol. iii, p. 494. 

 Hah. — Nilgiris; Anamallays ; Cherra Poonjee. 



46. Glessula Singhurensis, Blanford. 

 Glessula Sinffhurensis, Blanf. : Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. xxxix 

 (1870), p. 19, pi. iii, fig. 17. 

 Mab. — Singhur, near Poona. 



47. Glessula amentum (Benson), (Reeve). 

 Achatina amentum, Bens. MSS. : Pfr., Mon. Hel., vol. iii, p. 499. 

 Hah. — Orissa and Ganjam. 



I found the smaller variety very abundant on the top of the 

 Myhendra Hill (Ganjam). The larger variety, found near Calcutta 

 and in Central India, and well figured bv Hanley, is a rare shell. It 

 has a shorter and blunter apex and fewer whorls than Vadalica, 

 but specimens of that species sometimes do duty for it in collections. 



48. Glessula facula (Benson). 

 Achatina f ami a, Bens. : Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. v (1860), p. 466. 

 Hah. — Nilgiris; Pulney Hills; Nullaymallays, Kurnool; Jeypore 

 Hills, east side of Madras. 

 Hanley' s figure is not good. 



49. Glessula illustris, Godwin-Austen. 

 Glessula illustris, G.-Aust. : Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. xliv 

 (1875), p. 3, pi. i, fig. 5. 

 Hab.—l^oxVa. Cachar Hills, 7,000 feet; Jaintia Hills, 1,000 feet. 

 I can distinguish this in no way from the last species (^facula). 

 50. Glessula botellus (Benson). 

 Achatina hofellus, Bens. : Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., vol v (1860), p. 465. 

 //rt3.— Nilgiris. 



H. Nevill labelled my specimens from the foot of the Nilgiris botellus, 

 var. conrexior, but 1 do not see how they differ from the type. 

 Hanley's figure (Conch. Ind.) is good. 



51. Glessula orophila (Benson), (Reeve). 

 Achatina orophila, Bens. MSS. : Reeve, Conch. Icon., vol. v, pi. xix, 

 fig. 105. 

 Hah. — Anamallay Hills; S. Canara ; Golcondah Hills, east side of 

 Madras Presidency. 



.My Golcondah specimens were labelled by H. Nevill G. suhhrevis, 

 but I cannot see how they differ. Nevill, I think, only saw young 

 examples. Reeve's figure, copied by Nevill, is good. 

 52. Glessula Arthurii (Benson). 

 Achatina Arthurii, Bens.: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. xiii (1864), 

 p. 209. 

 Hah. — Mahableshwar. 



I cannot distinguish this shell from orophila, and I think it will 

 have to be a synonym.
