cylindrical form below, the sculpture, shorter whorls, &c., safely 

 distinguish it. It was discovered by the Rev. S. B. Fairbank, 

 from whom I have received a specimen of the sub-Himalayan 

 form Helix Barrakporensis, Pfeiffer, obtained in the Maha- 

 baleshwur Hills.

The convex sides of the upper part of the spire, the shorter 

 whorls, with the sculpture and polish of this shell, distinguish 

 it as well from the Nilgiri A. Perrotteti as from the neighbour- 

 ing A. notigenttj which* has an attenuate spire and costulate 

 sculpture in all the whorls. The Liberian A. clavuSj Pfr., is a 

 broader shell, with longer and wider whorls. 



9. Bulimus Smithei, B., n. sp. 



B. testa perforata, ovato-oblonga, irregulariter rugoso-striata, striis 

 tenuibus plus minusve decussata, sub epidermide cornea albida, 

 non nitente ; spira oblongo-turrita, lateribus convexiusculis, apice 

 obtusiusculo, sutura impressa; anfractibus 7|, convexiusculis, 

 ultimo antice leviter ascendente ; apertura vix obliqua, subovata, 

 peristomate tenui reflexiusculo, marginibus callo tenui junctis, 

 columellari perforationem subtegente. 



Long. 13, diam. 5. Apert. long. 4, lat. 3| mill. 

 Habitat in montibus prope Roopur et Fagoo. 



Mr. J. Doyle Smithe, F.G.S., got this shell in the hills on the 

 right side of the river Sutlej, in the Punjab ; and Mr. W. Theo- 

 bald subsequently got it at Fagoo, on the Simla side of the river. 



Cheltenham, Nov. 30, 1864. 



P.S. On a further examination of Helix Anax, under light 

 through a powerful lens, I find a fourth long basal palatal 

 lamella within the aperture. It appears externally nearly pa- 

 rallel with the suture, and is indistinctly visible from the mouth. 

 The palatal lamellae, though equal in number to those in H, 

 erronea and H. Rivolii, still differ in the direction in which they 

 are placed with reference to each other.
