form, namely, open umbilicus, compressed whorls, more vertical aperture and peculiar, abruptly 

 raised apical whorls. 



A single specimen only was found at Changligali near Murree.

 pi. li, figs. 7 and 10. 



This is one of the puzzling species, apparently intermediate between Macrochlamys and 

 Xesta. The question of its correct generic rank can only be settled by a careful examina- 

 tion of its anatomy. In the excellent original description, the animal is described as of " a 

 dark verdigris green, living under fallen timber at 9,000 to 11,000 feet above the sea," &c. 

 Dr. Stoliczka found a few specimens at Tinali. 



11. NANINA (BENSONIA) ANGELICA, Pfr. 



Helix angelica, Pfr., P. Z. S., 1856, p. 33 (Punjab). 



Dr. Stoliczka found several living specimens, all unfortunately young, at Uri (between 

 Tinali and Srinagar). The form is distinguished from the preceding by the almost closed 

 umbilicus, more closely wound whorls, &c. ; the rounded periphery and numerous varices 

 appear to be characteristic. 



12. NANINA (BENSONIA) JACQTJEMONTI, v. Mart. 



Nanina jacquemonti, v. Mart., Mai. Bl., xvi, 1869, p. 75 (Himalayas). 



A single specimen of this well-marked species was found at Murree : it is a common 

 shell in the Punjab Salt Range. I give below the measurements of the Murree specimen, as 

 they differ somewhat considerably from those of the type.

13. HELIX (PATULA) HUMILIS, Hutt, 



Helix humilis, Hutt., J. A. S. B., 1838, p. 217 (Simla). 



Found tolerably abundant near Murree. Hutton records the animal " as that of a true 

 Helix, of a dark grey or blackish colour, abundant during the rains on moist rocks, under 

 dead leaves, &c., and at the roots of shrubs."
