Hab. India : Rohra Hills, Sind (Stanford). Beluchistan : 

 Gwadar (Blanford). Persia: Bendes Abbas (Issel). Arabia: Aden

 It is more cylindrical than Z. insularis, forming a connecting link 

 between that and Z. pertica. The type, which is in the British 

 Museum, is composed of 9| whorls and measures : length 12 mm., 

 diameter 4 mm.

Original description : " Bui. testa ovata, subcyliudrica, sub- 

 imperforata, pellucida, albida, tenuiter striata, apice conico, obtusi- 

 usculo, pellucid o ; anfractibus novem vel decem vix elevatis ; 

 apertura parva, subrotunda. semilunata ; labiis subincrassatis 

 rotundatis. 



" Axis 10, diam. 4| lin.' ? (Gray.)

 ford} ; Delhi, Bundelkhund (Reeve) ; Kutch, Agra, Trichinonoli 

 (B. M.). 



Gray, who omitted to indicate the habitat when describing the 

 species, states that it resembles B. kingii, but is more solid and has 

 a dark apex and pillar. His brief description may be supplemented 

 by Hutton's observations on the species in 1849, when he sub- 

 stituted the MS. name Pupa indica of Benson for P. cylindrica 

 proposed by himself in 1834, on account of the latter name having 

 previously been employed by Michaud. 



" The large variety has 9-10 whorls ; is cylindriform and tapers 

 suddenly to an obtuse apex ; colour of living shells pale fuscous or 

 earthy, but generally white ; whorls closely wrinkled by coarse 

 waving lines of increase ; in fresh specimens faintly scored with
