Hab. — In littorc Malabarico circa Beypur, Nellanibur, etc., etiam 

 in provincia Canara. 



A small variety of E. Sliiplayi {E. Indica, var.) with a higher spire 

 than usual. It appears to be characteristic of the Malabar coastland 

 as far north as North Canara. Numerous specimens were found at 

 Beypur by the late Mr. Fairbank and myself, and elsewhere by 

 Colonel Beddome. 



Godwin-Austen's species E. Binoyaensis (Land Freshw. Moll. Ind., 

 vol. ii, 1899, p. 103, pi. xcvii, figs. 1, la) was described from an 

 immature specimen. I am indebted to Mr. Oliver Collett, the original 

 discoverer, for an adult shell, of which I add a figure and description.
