Fam. HELICID.K 



Vallonta humilis, Hutton. 

 Not very rare, on trees at Tandiani. 



Fam. LIMACIDiE. 

 Anadenus altivagits, Theob. 

 This large slug is not uncommon at Tandiani, though only seen abroad 

 after heavy rain. 



Mr. Nevill doubts if I am correct in writing with this, the A. gigan. 

 teus, Haynemann, which Mr. Nevill thinks is a larger and distinct species, 

 of which he has seen specimens from Nipal. 



Nap^ius domina, B. 



A dextral form of this shell is very common on the hills between Tan- 

 diani and Abbottabad, from 4000 to 6000 feet. It is identical with the 

 form found at Mari and typical (sinistral) forms also occur. 



Long. 26, Lat. 96 mills. 



A small variety is found in places and in the Pakli valley north of 

 Abbottabad. It is dextral and varies rather in form. Two specimens of 

 this var. minor measured. 



a. Long. 20, Lat. 9 mills. 



b. Long. 19, Lat. 7 mills. 



Specimen b is intermediate between ' domina' and ' spelseus.' 



N. Beddomeantjs, Nev. 

 (Mollusca Tarkand mission). 



This is rather a common species at Tandiani. There are three varie- 

 ties of it var. typica 10 whorls, Long 12, Lat. 2*6 mills. 



Var. turrita 11 whorls, Long. 12*4, Lat. 3 mills. 



Var. pusilla 9 whorls, Long. 8*5, Lat. 2'5 mills. 



This is the most aberrant species of its genus, and is certainly not very 

 near any of its allies. The flat expanded peristome it sometimes displays, 

 suggests a relationship to some pupas, P. coenopicta, Hutton, for example. 

 It is not a little strange too that I have hitherto failed to detect a single 

 Pupa at Tandiani though the prevailing rock being limestone, would seem 

 favourable to their presence. 



N. Mainwaeingianus, Nev. 



(Shells of Yarkand mission). 



A variety, as I take it of this shell is locally not rare on the hills 



north-west of the Pakli valley from 4000 to 5000 feet. It has one whorl 



less than the type (which is described as having 7) but is slightly larger, 



a difference probably due to the lesser elevation at which my specimens
