Hah. — In niontibus Animalai dictis Indise australis (Beddome). 



This shell, of which there are three specimens in Colonel Beddome's 

 collection, obtained by himself, has the peculiar acuminate spire of 

 E. cacuminifera (Bs.), but is perfectly smooth. The chestnut colouring 

 near the aperture may be accidental, but has not the appearance of 

 being so.

Distinguished from the Nilgiri E. apicata by a higher spire and 

 want of perforation. Nevill's manuscript name bifasciata, which has 

 unfortunately been printed without a description, was applied to this 

 shell, but is inappropriate, as the bands are not always present.
