DUBGELLA. 215 



extremity of the foot, also on the neck, tentacles moderately 

 long. 



Mantle-lobes moderately developed. Spermatheca thick, short, 

 and wide at the base, with a swollen wide terminal portion. 

 Dart-sac large, cylindrical, but twisted in form. The vas deferens 

 joins the male organ close to the retractor muscle; without 

 kale-sac. 



The teeth in the radula exceed 170 . 1 . 170 : the rhachidiari tooth 

 is very minute ; the laterals very numerous and closely set together, 

 their upper edge serrated with 5 or 6 points each, and they 

 diminish gradually in size outwards. There are upwards of a 

 hundred rows of teeth in the odontophore. The jaw is very thin 

 and inembranaceous, nearly straight in front.

 pi. 115, figs. 4, 4 a, pi. 116, figs. 7, 7. 



Shell globose, very thin, rnembrauaceous : it was impossible to 

 remove the animal preserved in spirit without tearing it. "Whorls

Hub. Paphunta Valley, South Andamans (G. Rogers). 



Animal about 20 mm., contracted in spirit. Foot long behind, 

 pointed, keeled, narrow; sole divided; peripodial grooves with 

 parallel streaking running from them to the margin of the foot. 

 A fairly large rounded right shell-lobe rising on the side of the right 

 dorsal lobe ; the left shell-lobe smaller than the right, rounded on. 

 the margin ; both shell-lobes somewhat thickened, pale-coloured, 

 unmarked, and smooth. 



The genitalia were not, unfortunately, got out in a state for 

 description. The penis is simple, like that of D. levicula; no 

 amatorial organ seen. 



Jaw very thin, almost straight in front, only a slight convexity 

 in the middle. 



Bad u la consists of an enormous number of teeth ; there are at 

 least 500 in the row, and 70 rows can be counted. It was got out 

 in a nearly perfect state, but the filmy edges got folded under it ; 

 and it is most difficult when this occurs to spread them out again, 

 rendering counting impossible. The teeth are more numerous in 

 this radula and more minute than in any I have seen hitherto ; 

 they are in form of similar type to those of Durgella levicula and 

 mairangensis, of Tenasserim and the Kbasi Hills respectively, but 

 still closer to the outermost teeth of Durgella ? sumbaensis, G-.-A. 

 (vide Mol. Ind. vol. ii, pi. 79, fig. 8 6), which may possibly belong 

 to Lamprocy$tig 1 and points to this last genus having a position 

 rather with the subfamily Durgellince than any other.]
