MOI.LUSCA OF INDIA. 



69 



This species was found quite recently (July 1919) in a pill-box 

 labelled " Shan Hills," to,s;ether with another very distinct species 

 and a Bithijnia, July 1919. It thus remained unsorted and un- 

 noticed for so many years, until my attention was called to the 

 Mollusca of the Salween Valley. 



Glesstjla. peklevis, n. sp. 



Locality. Shan Hills, five specimens (2 mature) {W. T. Blan- 

 fonl collei-tioii). Type. No. 89.06.5. (J. 



Shell ovately oblong ; sculpture : smooth on last whorl, only a 

 trace of transverse striation on other whorls, and distant, high- 

 power, close, spiral striation; colour dull umber-brown; spire 

 short, sides flatly convex, apex rounded, very blunt; suture 

 impressed; whoiU 6, flatly convex, last the largest; aperture ovate 

 or semicircular, outer margin evenly convex, vertical ; peristome 

 ouler lip thickened; columellar margin short, strong, concave. 



Size: maj. diam. 4-75; alt. axis 9-5 mm. 



This species recalls G. pegwnsis in its shape and blunt apex, 

 but its colour and great smoothness distinguishes it at once. It 

 probably comes from the Shan States near Mandalay and was 

 collected by Tedden. 



Glessitla tuangensis, n. sp. (Plate CLXII. fig. 18.) 



Locality. Yuang Ha, Siam boundary, only one specimen {Lt.- 

 Col. li. Woodthorpe). 



Shell oblong turreted or conoid ; sculpture : strong regular 

 distant striae, approaching costulation ; colour ochraceous ; spire 

 elongately conic, apex very blunt and rounded ; suture impressed ; 

 whorls 7, sides flatly convex, 100 : 47; aperture narrowly ovate; 

 peristome outer lip thickened ; columellar margin very slightly 

 convex, strongly truncate. 



Size : maj. diam. 6 ; alt. axis 12'8 mm. 



I was alyirst inclined to consider this a variety of woodtliorpei, 

 but it differs in many respects, in the proportion of the body-whorl 

 to the height, the strong sculpture as compared with the smoothness 

 and the difterence in the aperture. A single bleached shell 

 from the Kentung State (No. 1156 B.5I.) is near this. 



Glesstjla latestkiaia, Mollendorft". 

 Localitif. Shan States. 

 This I have never seen.
