" No described Indian species of Glessula possesses sculpture at 

 all resembling that of the present small form. Under an ordi- 

 nary lens the shell appears to have a plicate striation, but beneath 

 a stronger power the striae are seen to be regularly nodose, and 

 the decussating lines become distinctly visible. The markings 

 are very elegant and regular, almost resembling those on some 

 "West Indian forms of Cydostomidce, as Choanopoma." (Blanford.} 



The form taken by Evezard at Poorundhur, in the Bombay 

 Presidency, is separated by Blanford as " var. major, long. 7 mill." 



The Beddome collection contains several specimens from Sin- 

 ghur Hill. These are rufous corneous and exhibit the decussating 

 spirals referred to by Blanford, which are excessively h'ne and 

 close, being especially noticeable in fresh shells. The Cumiug 

 collection also contains four specimens.
