This most singular form in the genus was found by Col. Robert 

 Gordon in the same locality as Opisthoporus Gordoni, Helix 

 brachyplecta, and H. Gordonice — shells which escaped the ob- 

 servation of former collectors in that rich district. The bul- 

 bous pupiform figure of the shell at once distinguishes it from 

 CI. Philippiana, Pfr., an inhabitant of the Farm Caves, as well 

 as from any other known species. The upper lamella runs 

 spirally up the aperture^ forming a narrow slit between it and 

 the upper knife-like plica.

Found by Mr. F. Layard in the district of Upper Ourah, in 

 Ceylon. Its nearest ally is Bulimus proletarius, Pfr., which was 

 taken by Mr. Layard at Bootelle and Kaluganga.
