Original description : " Shell pyramidally turreted, whorls 

 ten in number, convex, very finely crenulated at the sutures, then 

 striated, eolumella rather deeply arched, aperture small ; brown- 

 horny." (Reeve.) 



Hcib. India : Nilgiris (Jerdon). 



" The shell I take to be this species is the one described by 

 Nevill. I collected it both on the Nilgiris and Nullamullays 

 (Kurnool). It is of the same length and has the same number of 

 whorls as sliiplayi, and is very like the full-grown shell of that 

 species, only it has a more prominent striation, and is considerably 

 broader towards the base. The young shell is conical from a broad 

 base, the young of shiplayi being much more cylindrical. If 

 Reeve's figure, copied by Nevill, is this species, it must be a small 

 form of it. It is more probably perrotteti.^ (Beddome.)
