NESOPUP.E OP INDIA AND CEYLON. 347 



tree at the Cantonment of Barrackpore, near Calcutta, dur- 

 ing the rainy season of 1848. Out of several individuals for- 

 warded to me, overland, by letter in a quill, two reached me 

 alive, and creeping about when supplied with moisture en- 

 abled me to verify their affinities. The lower pair of tentacula 

 is deficient or inconspicuous, as in Vertigo; the upper pair 

 carry the eyes at their summits. The shell is often carried at 

 an angle of 45" (Benson). 



Mr. Gude has figured a specimen from the British Museum 

 measuring 1.75 x 1.1 mm. Fig. 11 is a copy of this. The type 

 cannot be found. * ' The species is characterized by the lamel- 

 late striae and the short spire as compared with the diam- 

 eter" (Gude).

' ' Shell rimate, ovate-oblong, obliquely striate, tawny. Spire 

 elevated, conoidal, the apex obtuse ; suture impressed. Whorls 

 41/2, the upper ones somewhat convex, the last about two-fifths 

 the total length, excavated in the middle, behind the aperture, 

 arcuately ascending in front, compressed near the suture and 

 below. Aperture reniform, columella receding, calloused 

 above; two compressed parietal teeth. Peristome expanded, 

 the outer lip flexuously excavated, one-toothed. 



"Length 1.6, diam. 1, alt. aperture 0.6 mm." (Blanf.).

Mr. Gude remarks that it appears much nearer brevicostis 

 than to Pupa seriola with which Blanford compared it. The 

 figures are copied from Blanford and Conchologia Indica.
