4.G W. Theobald— List of Mollusca from the Hills [No. 1, 



Macrochlamys prona, Nev. 

 (Mollusca of the Yarkand mission). 



This species occurs not unfrequently at Tandiani, though it does not 

 quite correspond with the Naini Tal type. The spire of my specimens is 

 convex not ' flat,' and my largest shell is rather larger than Mr. NevilPs 

 type, but the shells are I doubt not identical. 



An unusually large specimen of 6 whorls measures, diam. max. 15, 

 min. 134, alt. 7'8 mills. Adults are rare, as I have only two. The animal 

 is long and slender, and dark slaty above, with long tentacles. A stout 

 dwarf form measures diam. max. 11*8, min. 103, alt. 59 mills. 



Bensonia monticola, Hutton. 



This species is not rare at Tandiani and the shells are usually of a 

 dark rich chesnut colour, though pale individuals also occur. The abun- 

 dance of dead shells in the surface soil in sheltered spots among rocks, 

 suggests here, as in Kashmir that the species was formerly more abundant 

 than now. 



I adopt M.. Nevill's generic name as a convenient one for this species, 

 but I am disinclined to refer to it (as Mr. Nevill does in his Yarkand 

 memoir) Macroclilamys splendens, Hutton, with its lustrous, highly polished 

 shell which would seem to fall more naturally into the ' vitrinoides* section 

 of the genus, (Nanina). 



Microcystis Nevillianus, Theob. 



This pretty little species is not rare at Tandiani. I do not describe 

 it here as I have furnished specimens to Col. G-odwin-Austen for his forth- 

 coming work on the genus ; it is a very snug little form of 6 whorls, of a 

 pale brown colour, warmed with orange towards the mouth. 



My largest specimen measures diam. max. 8, min. 7*4, alt. 4-6 mills. 



Trochomorpha Tandianensis, n. sp. 



Testa trochiformi, carinatd, anguste umbilicatd, tenui corned ; 

 Anfractibus sex, lente crescent ibus, transverse rugose striatis. Aperturd 

 parum obliqud, lunate-quadratd. Margine simplici, columellari juxta 

 brevissime reftexo. 



Lat. maj. 9*6, alt. 6*7 mills. 



Habitat ad Tandiani (in sylvis) montibus Hazarae, ad pedes 8500 alt. 



The animal has a distinct overhanging mucous pore. The nearest ally 

 of this shell is perhaps T. Jiyba, B. which is found from Chamba to Kashmir, 

 but like the present is a somewhat rare shell and of limited distribution. 



Kaliella eastigiata, Hutton. 

 Three individuals of this widely distributed, but not common shell were 

 taken by me at Tandiani.
