GLESSULA. 425 



core Hills, South Canara Ghats, Nullamullays, and Kurnool 

 (Beddome). 



Beddome thought Glessula paviei, Morlet, from Tonkin was 

 identical with the present species, but the former has one whorl 

 more and is considerably more slender. 



Some shells from Travancore in the Beddome collection, com- 

 posed of seven whorls, measure: length 14 mm., diam. 7 mm., 

 while others from the Anamullays, also possessing seven whorls, 

 only attain a length of 13 mm. and a diameter of 6-5 mm. The 

 same collection contains specimens from Kurnool, possessing 

 seven whorls and measuring 12'75 x 6 mm. One of these had 

 the aperture closed by an opaque epiphragm, and contained five 

 spherical eggs.
