Very closely allied to N. anceps, Gld., but may, I think, be fairly separated ; 

 the spire is considerably higher, and the base of the body-whorl more excavated 

 round the umbilicus ; the keel at the periphery is less acute and the epidermis 

 appears to be darker; the sculpture is precisely similar; the Indian Museum 

 possesses specimens of N. anceps from Tenasserim, and also from Moulmein. 

 Dr. Anderson found N. arata tolerably abundant at Bhamo and Ponsee ; the 

 specimens from the latter locality are rather smaller, and are the yar. minor of 

 Blanford.
