Mysore to the Nilgiris,

“ No species is known from either the Himalayas ot Ceylon. For this reason 
the name himalayana, applied to a species by Lea, is misleading, and Benson’s 
name interrupta, given a year later, should be preferred. For similar reasons 
the name nicobarica is objecticnable.”” 
“Theobald, in his Catalogue of the Land and Fresh Water Shells of British 
India, page 22, includes a species, A. cyclotrema from the Sumeysur (Somesh= 
war) Hills at the base of the Himalayas, north of Tirhoot, I have 
atypical specimen given to me by Mr, Theobald, and I have no doubt 
that the species belongs to Planispira or Trachia, a section of Helix 
proper.” . 
“Colonel Godwin-Austen has lately shown reasons for removing the Moulmein 
H, retrorsa from Ariophania, and uniting it to Hemiplecta, or some similar 
generic group. It thus appears probable that Ariophanta proper is confined 
absolutely to the Peninsula of India.” 
The species represented in the Society’s collection are Nos, 1, 6, 7,8 and 9 
of the above list, so that specimens are still required to complete the series 
of this interesting Indian genus,
