arcuately dilated at junction with right margin, columellar curved, 

 nearly vertical, slightly directed to right, where it meets penul- 

 timate whorl, and forming a small callus. 



Major diam. 28|, min. 21, height 13| mm. 



Hob. Not clearly ascertained, but probably Punjab Hills. One 

 specimen marked " Scind," which is not likely.

 Helicarion flemingi, var. altivagus, Theob. J.A.S.B. 1878, 2, p. 143. 



Shell depressed, thin, translucent, not polished, transversely 

 plicately marked with lines of growth, crossed by traces of fine 

 close longitudinal (spiral) lines, olive-brownish ; spire nearly or 

 quite flat, suture very slightly impressed ; whorls 5, flat above, 

 last much broader, not descending, rounded at periphery ; aperture 

 oblique, lunately oval ; peristome simple, margins converging, 

 columellar terminating above in a reversed callus.

A much thinner and flatter shell than P. flemingi, and rather 

 flatter than P. magnified.

 pi. 54, figs. 3, 3 a (shell). 



Shell depressedly globose, moderately thin, covered with a thick 

 dark olive epidermis, slightly polished, plicately striated trans- 

 versely, without longitudinal striation ; spire convexly conoid, 

 apex obtuse, suture impressed ; whorls 5, convex, the last large, 

 but less broad than in other allied forms, descending in front, 

 rounded at periphery, swollen beneath ; aperture almost circular, 

 lunate, higher than broad, diagonal ; peristome simple, the epi- 

 dermis extending slightly beyond the shell, margins converging, 

 arcuate at upper portion of right margin, columellar lip regularly 

 curved and meeting the penultimate whorl at an open obtuse 

 angle, the upper portion with an appressed callus. 



Major diam. 30, min. 24, height 19 mm. 



Hab. Small specimens measuring 15| mm. in major diameter were 

 described from Sonamarg, in Kashmir, by Nevill. In Godwin- 

 Austen's collection is a much larger shell from Uri, Jheluin Valley, 

 of which the dimensions are given above.
