Shell not described. " Animal when fully extended long and 

 narrow; colour dusky grey; mantle with a papillated surface 

 slightly spotted, the spotting being coarser on the body and tail. 

 Tentacles (eye-pedicels) short and blunt, with the oral (tentacles) 

 very close below them. 



" Length 0-75, mantle 0-4 (18| X 10| mm.)." 



Hob. On the Darpaug Eiver, at foot of the Dafla Hills, under 

 old logs in the forest (Godwin- Austen). 



This species may be recognized by its bluish-grey colour and 

 small size.

The shell in an alcoholic specimen is almost completely covered 

 by the mantle, except a small space 3j mm. across. Both foot and 

 mantle spotted with dark grey, and the whole length, when con- 

 tracted in alcohol, is 42 mm. The posterior portion of the foot is 

 very high and sharply ridged. The shell is evidently soft and 

 membranaceous .

1878, p. 13. 



Shell ovate, slightly convex above, concave below, the apex 

 inclined towards the left, but not involute nor forming a closed 

 whorl ; just below the apex there is an appearance as if one margin 

 of the peristome were folded over the opposite one. The apex does 

 not extend beyond the columellar margin of the peristome. 



Major diam. 12, min. 6j, height 2 mm. 



Animal unknown. 



ffab. Pachitah, Dikrang Eiver, Dafla Hills, Assam (Godwin- 

 Austen). 



Only two dead shells have been found. 



[The shell is very different from that of Girasia, being far more 

 solid. It is placed here provisionally until living examples are 

 obtained.]
