 Austen). 



Shell elongatel)' conical; sculpture, coarse somewhat irregular 

 striation; colour: two ruddy, two dull ochraceous : spire high, 

 apex blunt ; suture impressed ; whorls 9, sides flatly convex ; 

 aperture narrowly ovate ; peristome thin ; columella rather straight, 

 curved, short.

7 whorls left (fig. 12). 

 In this last, from last suture to base of aperture 7 mm., as against

"This species is recorded by Nevill in his revised copy of the 

 ' Hand-list,' opposite page 170, as" Sienogyra (Glessiila) austeniana, 

 Kevill — whorls 8, length 13, diam. mm., one Toruputu, Dafla 

 Hills (Type), coll. Godwin-Austen." The specimen thus named is 

 probably in the Indian Museum. I cannot find that it was ever 

 pul)lished: therefore it is now named after my old friend. His 

 early death was a great loss, for he possessed a great knowledge 

 of Indian MoUusca, and had made a close study of the genus 

 Glessula. 



Glessdla dikeangense, n. sp. No. 448 B.M. (Plate CLX. fig. 7.) 



Locality. Toruputu Peak, Dafla Hills — in primeval forest. Type. 

 ( Godwin- Austen.) 



Shell elongately turreted ; sculpture very fiue and close regular 

 striation ; colour ochraceous with a strong green tinge ; spire long, 

 sides very flatly convex, apex blunt; suture impressed; whorls 9, 

 convexity of side very slight ; aperture oval, vertical ; peristome 

 strong ; columellar margin curving. 



Size : maj. diam. 7-75 ; length 19-0 mm. 



In a paper on " The Helieidse of the Dafla Hills " (Jour. Asiat. Soc. 

 Bengal, vol. xlv. pt. ii. 1876, p. 315) I included Glessida iUastris, 

 the type of which was found on Heugdan Peak in the Naga 

 Hills. This was a hasty determination ; after a far more critical 

 one, and a comparison of the photographs of both, it shows con- 

 siderable difl'erence, sufiicient to constitute a new species. The 

 ju'oportion of the last whorl to the length of the axis is very 

 difterent to that of typical G. illustiis— inking the axis as 100, it 

 is 100:52.
