28 PUPISOMA. 



ence Hotel Garden, Kandy. Animal, body light grey, only 

 one pair of tentacles, dark. Tail pointed.' 



"I was fortunate in seeing the radula in the first specimen 

 I examined. Nothing could be seen of the genitalia. The 

 mantle zone was simple, with no shell-lobes. There are not 

 many teeth in the row, only some 15 or 16; all are large 

 quadrate plates. The central tricuspid, the admedians and 

 laterals bicuspid, the inner cusp long, the outer small and 

 basal. The jaw was crumpled up, and being so minute was 

 not well seen, but it appeared to be smooth. I am much in- 

 debted to Mrs. Longstaff for placing this species in my hands 

 and I have named it after its discoverer" (G.-A.). 



6. PUPISOMA CONSTRICTUM (Godwin- Austen). PL 3, figs. 8, 

 9,10. 



Shell turbinate, perforate; sculpture minutely costulate 

 above, from the swollen portion forwards the surface is 

 smoother ; color, pale ochraceous ; spire conic ; sides flat ; apex 

 pointed; suture impressed; whorls 5, convex, at the distance 

 of half a turn in the spiral behind the aperture there is a 

 sharp swelling of the whorl, marking apparently the position 

 of the previous aperture, but this is not seen in any of the 

 whorls above; aperture ovate, oblique, peristome much thick- 

 ened and reflected, united by a thin callus on the body- whorl ; 

 sinuate below and on outer margin. Maj. diam. 2.1 ; alt. axis 

 2.2 mm. (G.-A.).

"Animal not yet seen, and it is difficult to say where this 

 species should find generic position. I sorted out from a tube 

 full of minute shells eight specimens of this very curious and 

 interesting species. Its sculpture is like that of Pupisoma 

 lignicola Stol., from Moulmein, and I think it better to place 

 it near this than to create a new genus for it, which I at first 

 intended. I think it is best, however, to wait until some one 

 else can examine the animal" (G.-A.).
