 C. I. 1876, pi. 16, fig. 5 ; Nevill, Nanina (Microcystis), Hand-l. i, 

 1878, p. 40; Theob. J. A. S. B. 1881, 2, p. 40; Godwin-Austen, 

 Mol Ind. i, 1882, pp. 8, 21, pi. 2, fig. 8 (shell). 



Shell imperf orate (subperf orate), high trochiform, thin, finely 

 striated under the microscope, with impressed slightly oblique 

 lines above, no concentric striation on base, pale brownish horny ; 

 spire pyramidal, sides very little convex, suture slightly impressed ; 

 whorls 7^-, slightly convex, the last sharply carinate, flatly convex 

 below ; aperture nearly vertical, angulately lunate ; peristome 

 thin, margins nearly parallel, columellar vertical, triangularly 

 reflected. 



Diam. 3, height 4 mm. 



Hab. Western Himalayas ; Simla (Hutton) ; Landour and Mus- 

 soorie above 5000' and beyond 7000' (Benson} ; Hazara (Theobald). 

 Nevill adds Darjiling, Dafla Hills, Naga Hills, and Arakan Hills, 

 but the three last are open to question. 



The animal is described by Hutton as greyish. It is found on 

 dead leaves at Simla, and when in motion carries its shell upright. 

 According to Benson, at Mussoorie and Landour it was procured 

 creeping on the large wet leaves of Saxifraga ciliata, in damp and 

 shady situations having a northern aspect. 



412. Kaliella elongata, Godwin-Austen, Mol. Ind. i, 1882. p. 9, pi. 2, 



fig. 9 (shell). 



Shell subperforate, very elongately pyramidal, rather irregularly 

 obliquely ribbed above, almost smooth beneath, pale horny brown ; 

 spire very high, sides convex, apex obtuse, suture impressed ; 

 whorls 9J, convex, the last carinate, flatly convex beneath ; 

 aperture slightly oblique, roundly lunate ; peristome thin, outer 

 margin sinuate, columellar vertical, rather broadly reflected. 



Diam. 3, height 5J mm. 



Hab. Ealiang, Jyntea Hills. 



I have only seen one specimen of this shell, which is much 

 more elongate than any other species of the genus. 



*413. Kaliella colletti, Sykes, Jour. Mai. vii, 1899, p. 30, pi. 2, fig. 1. 



" Shell subperforate, elongately pyramidal, horny, smooth, apex 

 yellow, rather acute, the base subimpressed in the umbilical 

 region ; whorls 8, flattened, the first rapidly, the remainder slowly 

 increasing, beneath the lens obscurely striated transversely, suture 

 impressed; aperture quadrate, right margin thin, columellar sub- 

 reflexed. 



" Diam. 2-1, height 3'85 mm." (Sylces, in Latin.) 

 Hab. Binoya (3600 f ), Ambagamuwa, Ceylon ; on bamboo, orange, 

 and mango trees (CoUett).
