268 ZONITID^. 



sides strongly convex, apex obtuse, suture deep ; whorls 6|, 

 convex, the last larger, rounded at periphery, convex beneath ; 

 aperture seinicircularly lunate, nearly vertical ; peristome thin, 

 columellar margin rather broadly reflected, covering perforation. 



Diam. 2-25, height 2-1 mm. 



Hob. Khasi Hills. 



This is very near K. nana, but higher and with an additional 

 whorl.

 fig. 4 (shell). 



This is another close ally of K. nana and K. resinula, and has 

 nearly the same dimensions as the latter ; it is even more globose, 

 the sides of the spire more convex, and with the last whorl 

 proportionately larger. I have not seen a specimen. 



Hob. Sikhim. 



[Locality. Shell figured (pi. 103) is from the Risett chu Valley, 

 South Sikhim (W. Robert). 



Original description: Shell globosely conoid, scarcely perforate; 

 sculpture very fine, close, regular, transverse striation ; colour 

 pale sienna-brown ; spire conical, less than the major diameter, 

 apex blunt, sides convex, suture moderately impressed ; whorls 6, 

 rather convex, closely wound ; aperture narrowly lunate, vertical ; 

 peristome thin, columellar margin oblique and but slightly 

 reflected. 



Size: maj. diam. 1*9, alt. axis 1/6 mm. 



This pretty little shell, of which the type described by me is in 

 the Indian Museum, Calcutta, appears to be fairly numerous in the 

 deep hot valleys of Sikhim.] 



427. Kaliella ? Ihotaensis, Godwin-Austen, Mol Ind. i, 1882, p. 22, 

 pi. 5, fig. 2 (shell). 



Shell irnperforate, convexly conoid, depressedly subturbiuate, 

 with fine subcostulate transverse striation under the microscope, 

 often obsolete, radiately striate beneath, pale brown ; spire conoid, 

 sides convex, apex obtuse, suture impressed ; whorls 5|, convex, 

 the last subangulate at periphery, rounded below ; aperture 

 oblique, roundly lunate ; peristome thin, columellar margin 

 vertical, reflected. 



Diam. 2-2, height 1'7 mm. 



Hal>. Lhota Naga .Hills. 



This is also allied to K. nana, but has a much lower spire.
