I * This is a more solid form than any of the Nilgiri species, 

 and it differs from all of them, and also from the solid Cey- 

 lonese forms, in its sub-acuminate- apex. It is a well-marked 

 species " (Blanf.). 



II The Ceylon specimens are slightly narrower, but do not 

 otherwise differ " (Beddome). 



Var. pallens Beddome. Only differing from the type in 

 being of a pale-straw color. There are numerous specimens 

 of this in the Nevill collection, purchased by Messrs. Sowerby 

 and Pulton, and a single specimen in the late Dr. Blanford's 

 collection, labeled G. skinneri. This is, I believe, inornata var.

The figures are copied from Conchologia Indica. Fig. 10 

 is from a native painting, fig. 11 from the type specimen. 

 Hanley remarks that it " differs little from G. inornata ex- 

 cept in its peaked apex." Whether it has the microscopic 

 sculpture of that species is not known.

 substance " (Nevill, 1881, specimen from Col. Beddome). 



" The decussation in the sculpture is much more prominent 

 than in any other species. Hanley 's figure is good, but does 

 not show the sculpture " (Beddome).
