impressa, crenulata ; anfractus 8 subplaniusculi, ultimus ^ longi- 

 tudinis fere sequans ; columella valde arcuata, ad basim truncata ; 

 apertura serni-ovalis ; peristoma simplex. 



" Long. 18, diam. 6 mm. ; aperture 5 mm. longa, 3 lata." (Bed- 

 dome.) 



Hob. India : Jeypore Hills. 



Said to be " allied to bensoniana, but with a shorter, blunter 

 spire." An examination of the type in the British Museum has 

 convinced me that jeyporensis bears no resemblance to bensoniana, 

 which is a many-whorled species. It is very nearly related to 

 jerdoni, but is a little more shining and the whorls are somewhat 

 shouldered near the upper suture. It appears to me, however, 

 to be a doubtful species. Five shells in the Beddome collection, 

 from the type locality, have a somewhat broader base than the 

 type, measuring 17*5x7 mm. (7^ whorls).
