Hob. India : Nilgiris (Beddome). 



This species is based upon specimens in the Mb'llendorff col- 

 lection, received as E. nilagirica from the late Col. Beddome. The 

 figure in Conch. Ind., supposed to represent that species, and 

 copied by Kobelt, is also referred to it. In looking through the 

 Beddome collection, by kind permission of Mr. Leman its present 

 owner, I found a box with several specimens labelled nilagirica, 

 seven of which agree with Tianleyana and range in size between 

 14x7 and 12*25x7 mm. The Theobald collection also yielded 

 two shells of this form from the Nilgiris, the larger measuring 

 15 x 6-5 and the smaller 1375 x 5 mm. 



E. hanleyana differs from nilagirica principally in the shorter 

 spire and broader base, the fewer whorls, and relatively larger 

 aperture ; the umbilicus is also more open, but it agrees in being 

 similarly provided with close incised spirals, more or less obsolete 

 in places.

Another form of the group of E. nilagirica, but the shell is 

 smaller than that species and the sculpture much coarser. In the
