42 LAND AND FRESHWATER 



" var. major, Nevill, 20 x 8 mm. arifr. 9." Besides its mucli 

 larger size, it differs in many respects from typical pijramis in the 

 general sliapo of the spire, the convexity of the whorls, and the 

 form of the colnmellar margin, which is more curved and stronger 

 than in piji-amis, and I therefore name it G. poimiensis. Since 

 writing the above 1 have received from the Indian Muscnm the 

 specimeMs wliich Nevill dealt with, and have compared them 

 with typical specimens of G. pi/r<nni.i from Teria Ghat, and drawn 

 the apex of both. There is no doubt the Ponsi shell is quite distinct, 

 and has no connection with pi/ramis whatever. 



Description of the living animal made in my Field Book of one 

 taken at Teria (ihat is " U'^o'' long, almost colourless, the eye- 

 tentacles only dark coloured, a black line extending from the base 

 of each along the upper side of the neck (this, of course, is the 

 line of the retractor muscle), foot short." 



Glbssula hanleyi, n. sp. No. 3547 B.if. (Plate CLXII. 

 fig. 1(5.) 



Locnlitij. North Khasi. Type (Godwin-Austen). 



Shell elongate ; sculpture : few and distatit extrerael)- fine stria; ; 

 colour pale oehraceous ; spire high, sides with slight convexity, 

 apex blunt ; suture well impressed : whorls 8, side flatly convex ; 

 aperture narrow ; peristome outer lip thickened ; columellar margin 

 vertical, strong, sinuate. 



Size : maj. diam. 4' 75 ; length 12 mm. 



This shell was seen by Mr. Sylvanus Hanley, after whom I 

 name it ; he returned it to me undetermined. It is a single shell, 

 but having a history I am constrained to distinguish it, as I cannot 

 find anything like it. I at first placed it with G. baralensis. 



Glessula solida, n. sp. No. 3548. B.M. (Plate CLXII. fig. 8.) 



Locality. North Khasi Hills and valley east of Cherra Poonjce 

 (Godwin- Austen). 



Shell oblong conoid, short, solid ; sculpture : distant, irregular, 

 fine striation ; colour oehraceous ; spire elongately conoid, sides 

 convex ; suture well im])rcssed ; whorls G, sides convex ; aperture 

 ovate, vertical ; peristome outer lip very thickened ; columellar 

 margin short, convex, well truncated. 



Size : maj. diam. 4-0 : length 8'0 ram. 



On finding this shell I considered it to be the same as Benson's 

 orohia, of Darjiling, but it was not at the time compared with 

 typical specimens. I find now it is very much smaller, very 

 ditterent in its shape and proportions, the side of the spire being 

 much more convex than in the Darjiling shells, with which 1 have 

 compared it, in the Hy. Blanford collection (No. 17. O.iii.lo B.il.).
