KALIELLA. 259 



Hdb. Himalayas, Bengal, Deccan, S. India, Burma ?, Ceylon, 

 Madagascar. Localities recorded are: Kashmir (Theobald)-, Mus- 

 soorie, 7000 feet (Godwin- Austen) ; Doon below Landour (Button) ; 

 Sikhiin, Pankabari, and Rangnu valley (W. T. Blanford), and 

 Titalya (Bacon) ; Pareshnath Hill and Patarghatta (Stoliczka) ; 

 Barrackpore (Bacon) ; near Calcutta (Stoliczka, Nevill) ; Khandalla 

 near Bombay ( W. T. B.) ; Madras (Ramanan) ; Kalryenmullay 

 Hills near Salem (Foote) ; Pedro Talle Galle, Ceylon (?) ; Barisal, 

 Bengal (Godwin- Austen). Nevill also quotes shells from Teria 

 Ghat, Thayet Myo, Prome, and Pegu, but these may belong to 

 other nominal forms. Several specimens have, however, been 

 obtained from Madagascar ; and, from this locality, they cannot 

 have been introduced by man. The occurrence of this shell in 

 Lower Bengal has been doubted, but both Stoliczka and Nevill 

 found it near Calcutta. Shells from Bhore Ghat (Khandalla) are 

 intermediate between K. barralcporensis and K. sigurensis. 



Animal of a pale colour, with a distinct gland at the extremity 

 of the foot, overhung by a well-defined lobe. Mantle-lobes not 

 observed. Parts of the genitalia are figured in the 4 Land and 

 Freshwater Mollusca of India,' showing the small pear-shaped 

 kale-sac [see also fig. 81, A, p. 242, supra]. [The teeth of the radula 

 are peculiar from the small number of broad plated admedian 

 teeth in the row, all tricuspid, the outer cusps both basal, the 

 central point long; the laterals are narrow, much curved, and also 

 tricuspid; the outermost minute and tricuspid, with this formula : 



26 . 7 . 1 . 7 . 26 (33 . 1 . 33).]

 pi. 1, fig. 11 (shell). 



This only differs from K. barraJcporensis in having distinctly 

 oblique radiating striae on the base and not concentric microscopical 

 impressed lines. In all probability the two pass into each other, 

 an intermediate form having already been noted from Khandalla 

 near Bombay. 



Hdb. Sigur Grhat and Neddiwatam Ghat, Nilgiri Hills. 



[400. Kaliella rissomensis, Godwin-Austen, Mol. Ind. ii,1907, p. 174, 

 pi. 103, fig. 9 (shell). 



Locality. Eissom Peak, Eichila Peak, and Damsang Peak, Baling 

 District. 



Original description : This shell is like K. sivalensis in general 

 form, but placed alongside of it under the microscope difference is 

 apparent in proportion of diameter to height of spire and form of 

 columellar margin. The sculpture is also coarser. 



Size : maj. diam. 3'5, alt. axis 2*6 mm.]
