flab. India : Nilgiri Hills, Jeypore, and Shevroy Hills ; 

 Travancore (Beddome). 



" The Jeypore specimens are slightly larger, the whorls rather 

 more convex, and slightly angular close to the sutures." 

 (Beddome.} 



The type in the British Museum has the upper margin of the 

 peristome slightly damaged and the outer margin descends nearly 

 straight, a fact not mentioned in the diagnosis ; and whereas its 

 length is given as 11 mm., it only measures 9'5 mm. A specimen, 

 from the Shevroy Hills, in the Beddome collection possesses nine 

 whorls, which are a trifle less convex than in the type ; it measures 

 11 mm. in length. The same collection also contains specimens 

 from the Shevroy Hills, which were unnamed. 



427. Glessula neglecta, sp. n. 



Shell elongate-conoid, translucent, rather thin, fuscous corneous, 

 glossy, finely and regularly striated. Spire narrow, scarcely con- 

 vex ; suture rather deep, subcrenulate ; apex obtuse. Whorls 7, 

 convex, increasing slowly and regularly, the last equalling in 

 width f of the entire length of the shell, ascending a little in

 united by a thin callus on the parietal wall. Peristome thickened, 

 outer and basal margins curved ; columella slightly arcuate, 

 obliquely truncate.

Hob. India : Anamullays (Beddome). Type in the British 

 Museum. 



Seven specimens of an undetermined species were found in the 

 Beddome collection. Its nearest ally appears to be G. gracilis, 

 but that species has a narrower base, is much more strongly 

 striated, the whorls are less convex, the last whorl is narrower,
