narrower. In the British Museum are three unnamed specimens 

 from Ousalava, Ceylon, presented by Mr. Preston. These un- 

 doubtedly pertain to the present species. 



425. Grlessula subjerdoni, Beddome. 



Glessula subjerdoni, Beddome, Proc. Malac. Soc. London, vii, 1906, 

 p. 170, pi. 15, tig. 2 ; Pilsbry, Man. Conch, ser. 2, xx, 1909, p. 83, 

 pi. 8, figs. 3, 4. 



Original description : " Testa oblongo-turrita, tenuis, leviter 

 striatula, nitida, subpellucida, fulvo-cornea ; spira subturrita, 

 ad apicem obtusiuscula ; sutura impressa ; anfractus 7-8, sub- 

 planiusculi, ultimus ^ longitudinis vix sequans, basi attenuatus ; 

 columella leviter arcuata, paulo supra basin aperturse truncata ; 

 apertura verticalis, semi-ovalis ; peristoma simplex, obtusiusculum. 



"Long. II, diam. 3'5 mm.; apertura 2-5 mm. longa, 2 lata." 

 (Beddome.) 



Hob. India : Jeypore and Grolcondah Hills, east side of 

 Madras Presidency ; Anamullays ; Tinnevelly, Sikkim, Darjeeling 

 (Beddome). 



" A smaller and more slender shell than jerdoni, and much 

 larger than pauper cula, of which it may be a large form." 

 (Beddome.') 



" A specimen evidently near subjerdoni, but purchased as 

 G. jerdoni, and said to be from the Nilgiris, is figured pi. 12, 

 fig. 16. Below the suture there are vertical grooves, strong and 

 regular on the shoulder, but rapidly weakening downwards. The 

 lip is rather thick and whitish-edged. It is a wider shell than 

 C. p.taprobanensis, which seems to be closely related. Length 9'2, 

 diam. 3'9, aperture 3-25 mm. ; whorls 7." (Pilsbry.) 



Several shells from the Golcondah Hills, in the Beddome col- 

 lection, do not exceed 10'5 mm. in length, although the diameter 

 measures 4 mm., but some specimens from Darjeeling measure 

 11-5x4 mm. The same collection contains shells from Tinne- 

 velly, having seven whorls and measuring 8-25 mm. in length, 

 and several from Jeypore, labelled var. minor, 8'5 mm. in length. 

 Finally I found specimens from the Anamullays, which were 

 labelled paupercula, but which certainly must be referred to 

 G. subjerdoni. 



426. Glessula gracilis, Beddome. 



Glessula gracilis, Beddome, Proc. Malac. Soc. London, vii, 1906, 

 p. 170, pi. 15, fig. 9 ; Pilsbry, Man. Conch, ser. 2, xx, 1909, p. 83, 

 pi. 8, figs. 17, 18. 



Original description: "Testa parva, cylindrico-turrita, soli- 

 dula, vix nitens, evidenter striatula ; spira elongata, ad apicem 

 obtusa ; sutura impressa, crenulata ; anfractus 8 planiusculi,
