GLESSULA, PENINSULAR INDIA. 61 



Ceylon: Ambagamuwa (Mrs. Collett).

Topotypes before me are rather dark yellowish chestnut 

 colored, with sculpture of impressed vertical grooves. These 

 are rather widely separated on the later whorls, but close 

 above. Nearly two whorls at the summit are smooth. Length 

 8, diam. 2. 9, aperture 2.9 mm. long, whorls 6%. 



Compared with G. p. taprobanica, this is a more slender 

 shell, hence the whorls appear longer, and they are more 

 evenly convex, the suture being less narrowly impressed.

Shell small, ovate, thin, costulate, glossy, pellucid, fulvous- 

 corneous. Spire conoid, the apex rather obtuse, suture im- 

 pressed. Whorls 5 to 6, convex, the last half the total 

 length, slightly tapering at the base, rounded. Aperture ver- 

 tical, semioval; peristome unexpanded, thin, acute; the right 

 margin less arcuate; columella callous, nearly straight, very 

 deeply arcuate, obliquely truncate, at the umbilical region 

 appressed and depressed. Diam. 3 mm., alt. 1.5 mm. (Jouss.) 



Ceylon: flank of Pedrotalagala at Nuwaraeliya (Simon).

This minute form has about the size of a Tornatellina, but 

 seems to be more strongly sculptured than is usual in that 

 genus. The embryonic whorls are smooth, a little darker 

 than the rest -of the shell. Four specimens were taken, two 

 of them smaller than the type, which is thought by Jousseaume 

 to be immature.

Shell turrite, smoothish, pellucid, glossy, corneous; spire 

 regularly tapering, the apex obtuse ; suture substriate ; whorls 

 13, convex, the last slightly more than one-third the total 

 length, rounded, more distinctly striate; columella somewhat 

 straightly running forward, at the base rather widely trun-
