Glessula tenuispira, Benson. 



Colonel Beddome, in his Monograph of the Genus (Pro. Malacol. 

 Soc. vol. vii. 19U6, p. 160), records this species from many localities 

 all very distant from each other, viz., Darjiling, Pegu, N. Canara, 

 Khasi, and Dafla Hills. In a paper by Beuson in the 'Annals and 

 Magazine of Natural History' (I860), he gives a list of all the 

 Continental-Indian species of Achatina — in which A. tenuispira 

 appears as from the Khasia Hills, Darjiling, and Burma ; he 8a3-s 

 also " In Burmah Mr. Theobald got a variety of A. tenuispira on 

 the banks of the Irawady." I have for long doubted that this 

 species has such an extended range. Beddome even goes further
